Best Tire Dressing? (new Member)

Whats the best tire dressing? As in most shine? I dont really care how long it last. I like to wash my car frequently. I have that Z-16 and I'm really not that impressed.

Hello!

You say shine, if you mean bling then you might be on the wrong forum! In general OEM, natural black but not shiney or glossy is what i would say a majority like.

Certantly Z16 is very popular as it looks good, but is expensive. You might prefer something like Meguiars Endurance High Gloss or the one that is the clear bottles.

Shine is often mostly found in the oil based wheel dressings (as opposed to the water based ones) and often the cheaper products give shiney look.

OTC products give a great bling, but sling pretty bad. I have not mud flaps, so that is a problem for me. If I had flaps, though, I would go with the Armor All Tire Foam, or maybe the Tire Gel. I haven't tried the Gel yet.

AA Extreme Tire Shine gel is easy to apply (comes with a grooved foam applicator), is really shiny, and has decent durability.

I highly approve of Zaino, but like steelwind said, it's not that super soaking wet look that you get with the Z16, more of a clean OEM look.

Try Z-16. The best stuff "I" used on my tires.

That was the very product the OP said she wasn't impressed with.

Re: Best Tire Dressing? (new Member)

I have had a lot of good luck with MAG'S Hot Shine tire gel. What i like best is it will not sling off on the car.
