Z16 VS. Black Magic tire wet gel>

Redcar GUY · 03-10-02, 01:36

I was at wally world the other day an on the end cap of the Car stuff aisle there was a ton of clearance sale stuff! Mosty car care, I saw this bottle of TIRE WET only because of its VERRY VERRRRY cheap price $1.50! I thought I would try some just for kicks

It went on like oil, not like the Z16 that I am use to, real thick and slick. I DO NOT plan to use it on my cars but I may on others that want that Real Glossy look. Here is the pic.. Z16 on the left and that junk on the right> I put it on and buffed it off just like I do my Z16

not bad, but you're right its real 'slick' looking......

have you seen the ones by them with the metallic tint colors?? I have seen them at murray's in red, blue, and green....... quite cheezy if you ask me

You mean you haven't seen the tire dressing that is rainbow in color - no kidding. It must be a recent offering because initially I had only seen the colors that you mentioned. But now there is actually rainbow tire dressing.

And hold onto your seat, because last night at the local AutoZone they now have a spray that you can spray right onto your car that has a colored metallic tint to match the tire tint.

I had to read the can twice to be sure I was reading correctly. I chuckled to myself as I put it down and walked away.

What will they think of next. :scared

I definitely prefer the Z16 wheel in your shot. It's much more natural, and the shine isn't obnoxious. Those wheels look great too!

no offense to any we may have on the boards, but I think the rainbow dressing is to appease the "gay pride/rights activist" community.

I saw this same stuff at Wal-Mart. I laughed when I saw it, too. Who the hell would buy that stuff?!

No contest at all. The Z-16 looks a million times better than that other oily looking stuff. No question at all. Laters

Drive the car for 2 days and that cheap stuff will be coating your wheelwell. I found that evenwith the buffing those cheap wet dressings don't stay on the tire too long.

No question, "disco shine" is making a comeback. With tinted sparkles, no less!

The Z16 look is as shiny as I want my tires to be, thankyouverymuch.

I use the Tire Wet stuff because I cant find anything else that is commonly sold is stores. Can you guys give me a few suggestions, as we all know, Zaino isn't sold in any stores around here.

Does anyone know the exact name of the stuff detailking likes, possibly I could find that.

Get it while it lasts!

Depending on the price, I'll pick up two or three of them, if I don't like them I can hand them out. You make it sound like their awesome and I can't find anything decent out there unless I mail order so maybe it'll be the next standard item in my bookcase of products.
