Right now I use Meg. Hot Shine. I like it. Easy to use. Looks good for a long time.
But I`d like to try out something new. I used Zanio tire dressing. I liked that.
NO GELS......something waterey that goes on easy. Something like Amour All. Any sugestions? Thanks

Black Magic works good, Armor All in the orange can works good no gummy residue or build up, Car Brite Purple Dressing or VC Dresssing is good, Automagic Super shine or Magic Dressing is really good one of my favorites, Best IMO for nice shine even wear no builup is prob Pros Blue Ice but its a gel, they may make a spray liquid now.

Turtle Wax has a cheap tire shine that looks really good and seems to last
but my fave is CG`s wet shine extended life gelhttp://www.chemicalguys.com/Trim_Restorer_High_Shine_Trim_Gel_Forever_Black_p/tvd_108_16.htm
but its a gel
they carry The VRP that is sprayable and you can use it on everything that is plastic,vinyl or rubber also can be diluded

The BnB never worked that well for me, if you liked the Zaino it has apparently been reformulated to be a bit better (about a year ago). I`ve found the Optimum Tire Shine to be quite nice, but none of these water-based dressings are going to be as durable as the Hot Shine. I personally don`t like the greasy (oil-based) dressings because of the clean-up issues.

PB`s Natural Look is a watery dressing that goes on smooth with all tires. Some gels or thicker liquids have trouble with certain tires, whether it`s the brand of tire or the rubber itself. NL is thin enough that it goes on smooth all the time. I don`t even always dry the tire completely before application.

Does anybody know this guy? :cooleek: :nana: Imma little partial to the Four Star Gel.....Although its a little difficult to use......
duragloss 253 is one of my favorites. no sling, easy to use and lasts better than most. dark satin look.

Sorry buddy, I`ve been so busy with my last year of college, figuring out where I want to move, finding a job for after graduation, working on my car a bit, fixing the virus I had on my computer, and so on...

1) FK1 108- Water based, nice deep gloss, anti-static, nearly dry to the touch. After a few applications you can just wash the tires with car wash soap and the sheen remains. 35/gallon
2) PB BNB

I`ve just started using Megs Hyper Dressing and CG Silk Shine. Both water based and a nice clean finish.

Another vote for Megs Hyper Dressing. Water based, can be diluted up to 4:1 and only $35/gal. I use in on my tires, trim and engine bay.
