View Full Version : what type of look?
Do you prefer a wet/glossy look, or a non-glossy/matte look for tires?

For tires? Interior trim? Something else?
I just corrected it. Tires.

I like a non-greasy satin sheen.

Wet, however I dont want them to look too wet. Just enough to make the black just that... black!

I want the black to stand out, but not look wet. A semi-gloss look is ok, but I mainly want the black to contrast with the color of the car. :)

I prefer the wet glossy look myself, as long as i can avoid slinging....

With the shine and gloss of my finishes and highly polished chrome rims only a hi-gloss non-greasy tires appears detailed.

depends on what mood i am in, sometimes i like matte, sometimes I want to get a little more attention, and I go with glossy wet.

On my Jeep I prefer a matte look. On my wife`s mustang she prefers a glossy look.

Matte and Black is the way I like rubbers.

Matte for me too. Recently picked up Meguiar`s hot shine with adjustable nozzle. Stuff is great, no sling and a rich matte finish--dark black but NO gloss.

Sign me up in the "dark but matte" camp. Gimme that old time religion ... with EO Satin or Zaino`s rubber/vinyl product. :up

Here lies the confusion.
I like non-greasy hi-gloss (black). I like the Meg`s "Hot Shine" but I consider it to be hi-gloss(black) and non-greasy. Some consider it to be matte and black and non-greasy. :nixweiss :D
