Best spray on,no wipe tire dressing?

**07bsmcrewmax** · 02-02-2003, 01:11 AM

In your opinion, what is the best spray on, no wipe tire dressing? I have all terrain tires and there is a lot of grooves in them that make it hard to fill with dressing. I use tire swipes but still miss some spots. I am looking for something that I can spray on and walk away. I`m fairly new to detailing so any advice is appreciated.

I`ve tried Super Shines Tire Dressing and it works very well and goes on fast. Here is a review of it: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showth...ht=Super+Shine

A lot of people like Stoner`s More Shine, Less Time dressing. I`ve never used it though.

Eagle One`s aerosol dressing isn`t bad, either. Unfortunately, the few times I`ve used it, I`ve been unable to get a good idea of it since it rained within a day or two

I was curious as to how you`re gonna spray dressing on the tires w/out getting it all over the wheels? That was always my problem. :nixweiss

You just have to wipe off the wheel when you get done spraying. Those all terrain tires are a pain to detail.

Yeah, I suppose, I just hated wiping off the wheel afterwards, dammit. Smeary, streaky, and generally crappy... not good on chrome rims. But, then again, it was the best way to get *all* of the tire, like you said.

So anyway, what sort of shine are you looking for? Really bright & shiny, matte, ...

Probably more of a matte finish. I tried the shiny route and it just didn`t look right on the all terrains. I like the look of the 303 Protectant but it is pretty pricy.

As far as product recommendations, I`m not of much help since I use Meg`s Endurance most of the time. But again, EO seems to be decent, as does what I`ve heard about both 303 and Stoners.

As far as getting matte: since you want a spray for coverage and not necessarily for ease of use, I would think that you could spray on to get full coverage of the tire and wipe it down with a swipe, cloth, or whatever to "dull" the look of the dressing. Something to get that matte look you`re going for.

I would really like to try some Stoner`s but noone locally carries it and I don`t want to pay shipping on just one can. Thanks for the help anyway.

No problem. Welcome to Autopia! :bounce

Poorboy`s Bold N Brite:up . Excellent spray on, no buff dressing. It will be a glossy dressing if left to dry on it`s own but not anywhere near some of the "wet look" dressings on the market. Longevity is pretty good too....definetly among the best of the non-solvent based dressings I`ve used.

If you like the look of 303.. like the benefits of 303, but dont like the price i suggest you guys try Super Shine made by American Shine.. the stuff is simply amazing.. It has a VERY nice matte finish.. doesn`t collect dust.. lasts through rain and driving through puddles, and if it gets on the rims, wont leave an oily streak behind.

My friend actually did a test after he saw how nice the stuff looked on my tires.. He did one tire with 303.. and the other with American Shine.. didn`t tell me which was which, and I had to admit, the American shine one looked FAR better than 303..
