    Title says it all. I`m looking for the shiniest tire shine product that doesn`t sling and lasts for awhile. Been using optibond but am looking for something else.

    Good luck, for the shine and wet look- i have used will mostly come from a solvent silicone based tire dressing. And almost all solvent based i have used will sling.

    If you are looking for really shiny tires, then you are also looking for sling. It goes with the territory. I will say that Eagle One Wet is a great looking and easily obtainable tire shine that doesn`t sling IF you apply it to dry tires. Any tire shine will sling if you apply it to wet tires, so just be sure they are dry first and that will minimize the amount that gets thrown all over the fenders. I haven`t had any sling issues with Eagle One Wet ever, but I always apply it to dry tires, so that sort of says it.

    Get some Meguiars NXt tire coating in the aerosol can...you can wipe it after application and it will "re-shell" and will not sling..





    Of course with most things..."it depends" comes into play. If you have a lot of "ribs" and sidewall blocks you have to be really diligent with the wiping of the sidewall....

    JW, Mother`s FX Tire Shine is certainly a worthy contender. They say to let it dry for an hour and there will be no throw. I can`t say I`ve always waited an hour, but there has been absolutely no throw. Do a 2nd coat for a very rich appearance. Enjoy.

    I consider Adam`s Super VRT to be pretty shiny and the product dries quickly with no sling.

    I`d be glad to make a few recommendations, what`s your issue with Optibond? Not shiny enough? Mother`s FX has similar or better durability and about 50% more shine.

    sonus tire , lanes blue and grape, and four star bazooka( i dont think they will ship out of state), and of course meguiars endurance has been the shiniest/wettest solvent based dressings i have used. plus black magic titanium; however it attracts so much dirt and grime



    for newer tires the waterbased dressings work really well. The tire clearcoat from tuf shine works great on new tires, but comes with price and longer prep/cleaning

    Two coats of Surf City Garage`s BBTP is fairly shinny/glossy and does not sling. It`s my go-to tire dressing...it spreads easily, covers evenly and looks great. It`s a bit expensive compared to most OTC products, but it`s worth it. Mother`s FXTS is also very good.

    Two coats of Megs Endurance Gel is simply awesome. Deep wet look and dry to the touch. Lasts weeks.

    I have not used the product myself, but I have read reviews about it and seen some pics: Tuf Shine. If I wanted a glossy tire dressing with no sling, this is the product I would probably try first. It is also reputed to be very durable.

    I second the Mothers FX. You can`t be the value and availability.



    I also used a turtle wax container I found at a friends garage for the hell of it. Forgot the name, but Had an applicator on top. Very thick stuff but had a mean shine and I dont recall any sling. Not sure of that was silicon based or the level of protection it provided. I`ll have to look for it.

    Armor All isn`t super shiny but it looks decently wet, doesn`t sling and it water based. Plus its cheap.

    Akimel i have used the tuf shine tire clearcoat on brand new tires, but for wet/glossy looking tires I had to put 2+ coats on it. And you have to rough scrub the tires down to free any silicone or trash- very labor intensive. The sheen lasted about a month and half which was end of oct to around mid dec timeframe. Last I seen my buddys tire was on the 25- and it still looked very good but the sheen is definitely matte.



    I had also used it on crappy dry rotting 6+ year old tires. It was a failure and i would not reccomend it for ruined aged tires.

    Very similar look to Black Magic Titanium Matte Tire Finish which doesn`t have quite as much shine, but easy to use and looks good after rain etc. Sometimes can pick it up at Big Lots for $3.00 per bottle.
