I like a lot of shine on my tires but I do not like the goop that most silicon based tire shines have and not to mention they attract dirt worse that a magnet, what are the best high shine water based tire shine products out there? Need somme suggestions have to make an order soon.

I like 1z-einszett`s Vinyl and Rubber Protector, for a shine I think you probably need 2 coats. Another good choice is Optimum Opti-Bond.

For a high shine water bases tire dressing I can only think of Poorboys Bold and Bright. There are others but its just not coming to mind right now. Tropi care/ShowroomFx v2 is another one but you might need two or so applications.

I also like Zaino Z-16.
If you like hi-shine though, go for Megs Hotshine or Wolfgang Tire Gel. I don`t believe its water based but its nice and shiney (you can always wipe down to reduce the shine to a desirable level), doesn`t attract much dirt, and keeps a matte black tire once the shine wears off for weeks.

Mark-Vs Ultra Gloss, you can dilute it to give the required amount of shine/gloss

Go to your local Autozone and pick up the Eagle One No Drip Tire Shine Gel. It costs about 4 or 5 dollars and is water based. It`s not really liquid it`s a gel and is very high gloss and no drips. I have been using this for about a year now and it`s my favorite now. I used to use Mothers FX Tire Shine but I can`t find it locally any more so I switched to the Eagle One.

Bold & Bright is good but I`ve recently come to like Meg`s Hyperdressing. One thing about it s you can dilute it to suit your preference on shine. I use it 1 part ot 3 of water and it gives a nice finish. 1 to 1 would be very shiny. It dries to the touch after a while so it doesn`t attract dust.

I just got some of the new Optimum tire gel, and it`s amazing. It`s water-based, but after the first application I drove it through two rainstorms and it didn`t seem to come off at all. It looks like more of a cream than a gel, and goes on very easy. Great stuff.

Zaino Z16 is my favorite. One coat for a matte gloss. Two coats for a brighter shine.

The Eagle One is what I was suggesting in my post.

AA Tire Gel will not sling. Even comes with a grooved applicator.

not IME, compared to all the other tire gel dressings and it`s water based so it doesn`t create and leave a mess to clean up. this is easily one of the the best OTC tire gel dressings out, and it`s reasonably priced as well. one bottle lasts quite a while...
