Tire shine that lasts?

[MrEvan94]

I`m not huge on using tire shine. Usually I`ll clean them and throw some CG silk shine on them to give them the clean look but every once in a while I`ll use some gel to give it an actual tire shine. The stuff that I use is CG trim and tire gel but it doesn`t last long. What are yalls preferences on something that lasts and is easy to use and not insanely messy?

Evan, the product from OPT (Opti-bond?) certainly lasts a few washes. Meguiar`s "Endurance" also lasts for a couple wet/dry cycles.

This is a good tire product. Decent longevity and does last a little longer than a water based tire gel.

I would add McKee`s 37 Tire Coating to the mix. Lasts much longer than Gyeon tire coat or any other tire gel. Leaves a nice satin type finish.

I use Tuf Shine on mine.

Here is what they looked like right after coating just before I mounted them on wheels for the summer.

Here is a pic of them late July just cleaned.

Here is a shot of how they looked just before I took them off and put on some all-season tires for winter in mid-late Oct. In late Aug I rubbed a curb with the right front and at that time i added another coat to them which other than washing with soap and water is all I have done. My rims are also coated with WG Uber coating

I only put around 5K on them but they did hold up well.

A better test will be how my winter setup holds up. Here is what they looked like just before I mounted them.

another vote for tuf shine. Ive been using it for a while now, it will easily last 6+ months and make washing tires much easier

When I saw ancients tires in the summer I do have to say I was impressed

I also use the TUF SHINE tire coating kit. If you do not rub on curbs 6 months is easy. I can wash my rims(McKee`s 37 coating) and tires (Tuf Shine) with ONR even if they are really dirty and they will look new again. No hose needed! Coatings are are great for daily drivers.

<--- use Gyeon tire

[Bill D]

I`m impressed with Gyeon. Once I get rid of my PERL I`ll get some

[Civicclutch]

I might have to get some gyeon tire for my reg. customers so it`s easy for me to wash their cars lol

As with anything, a lot depends on proper prep. Make sure the tires are free of old dressings and gunk.

Yeah I spray the tires with wheel cleaner and scrub them before I do anything
