tire dressing that wont splatter on paint

[dpe_g35]

im having issues with the meguaires endurance tire gel, it splatters all over the side of my car, and ive applied it very lightly, what are other tire dressings that give a good shine but wont splatter.

Tuf Shine.......say no more...

I like Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. It doesn`t sling off.

opti-bond here too. meg`s hyper dressing seems to fit the bill also, at least it has for me, and you can dial in the look by diluting it to your taste. depends on your budget i suppose, if you got the cash get opti-bond, if not hyper-dressing isnt a bad product.

I`ve never seen any water based dressing that, once dried, splattered on the paint. I`ve used Hyper Dressing, Optimum Tire Shine, PB Bold n` Bright, and Armor All Original (what I`m currently using). None sling after having been applied to a clean tire and given adequate drying time.

I use 303 protectant or Armor All Original - no splatter problem here either. Just apply it and let it dry.

If you want real shine with depth and no sling, I think you are down to two products. Chemical Guys VRP or Crofgate tire shine. Both are dry to the touch, its as if you took egg whites and painted your tires with them. Everything else I have tried that is water based makes for a nice new looking tire, but nothing that looks as good and shiny as the silicone based crap that slings all over the place.

Sonax Tire Gloss Gel also works very well without slinging, and has a nice uniform shine to it.

That`s what I was thinking too :think: I don`t mean to be :nono or anything, but it`s just never happened that I can recall, and I`ve used Endurance too (usual choice is Z16).



What about wiping off any excess...if you haven`t tried doing that it might make a difference.

Armor All Original. No sling and decent durability for a water based product.

Like BigPoppa, I too have never experienced sling with my water-based dressings. My current favorites: Mother`s FX, Surf City Garage Beyond Black, Showroom FX White Pearl.



I am looking forward to trying out the new trigger version of Endurance, which is due to be available in stores in January or February. It is supposed to be non-sling.

one water based dressing that i`ve been happy with and been using since it first came out is the mothers fx tire shine. good stuff...

[lvgolfer962]

been using turtle wax Wet and black gel for a couple of years now



i like it because it does not get slung off the tire and onto the paint and its not shiny

it gives a very deep rich black looking sidewall

durability is very good

I like using Zaino Z8 / Optimum Tire Shine and 3D`s Ultra Tire Protectant. Here`s what 3D looked like after an 80 mile drive on the freeway:

Unlike the boutique dressing, it washes off easy and is so inexpensive you can spray it directly on the tire.

I use Stoner`s More Shine for tires.
