Is Vinylex or Eagle one Tire shine better for tires

Which one of these is better for your tires. Will either turn them brown. Which one will sling less.

Thanks

1. I've used both and frankly, its hard to tell the difference. Both leave a virtually identical gloss. Vinylex has UV protectants in it and I'm not sure what E1 has included. It may not matter as the Satin Finish Tire Shine has been discontinued.

2. I don't think either will turn tires brown. I've used E1 for over 10 years with no side effects. Just amke sure you clean the tires during the wash.

3. Since both are liquids they can sling if you don't buff off the excess product after application. But if you do get some on the paint, no worries; they're both water-based.

Vinylex - very easy to apply with foam applicator, will not sling if left to dry, may not even need buffing, strong UV protectant.

E1 Wet Tire Shine - much more shine than Vinylex, must buff to avoid slinging, try E1 Protectant which is similar to discontinued E1 Satin Finish Tire Shine (it's still available from CMA) and will give you more natural look.

Eagle One & Vinylex

Both are good products. I find the "Eagle One Protectant" lasts longer on my Eagles than Vinylex. It's a cream and it goes on thick where vinylex is liquid and more apt to run or sling.
Both provide an Natural looking shine but I find durability better with EO.
