    Hi,

    Just as the title says.. any suggestions for tire dressing? I have used spary, gels 3 different kinds and no matter if I put it on the tires and wait 2 hours... buy the time I get to my destination theres tire dressing spots all over the side fenders and rims. Whats do you all recomend? A different product or a different technique? Help!

    Depends on the look you are going for, but my fav`s are:

    Meg`s Hyper Dressing (you can vary the shine)

    Zaino`s Tire care (almost identical to the Meg`s)

    Prima Nero (really matte finish)

    The key for me to not seeing slinging is both in the application and the wait time. I generally apply 2 thin coats with some time in between.

    You could try meguiars all season dressing which leaves a really nice
    gloss then take an old rag or towel and wipe off the excess

    I bought a Black Magic Tire Wet Express that combines the gel with a built in brush. You squeeze the body of the device and it emits a little gel. Picked it up for $2 at Big Lots and was pleasantly surprised with it`s effectiveness. I dressed my tires a week ago and the tires still look fresh.

    Tire dressing - the best

    I have been detailing my cars for 20 years now, and I just found the best tire dressing: Zaino Z16.

    It is the best I`ve used ever.

    And if you want a product that`s almost identical, but cheaper per use, check out the Meg`s Hyper Dressing. You can dilute it to the desired shine and it works almost identically to the Zaino stuff. They even smell similar...

    I love Meg`s Hyperdressing for most things but tires isn`t one of the them. I would say that in some regards it is similar to Z16, but it doesn`t last 1/10th as long for me personally.

    Really?

    do you just do one coat?

    I find that if I do a coat, let it sit for a bit, and go over it again with another light coat that it lasts really well. I wonder how much of things like this lasting have to do with climate.

    I have found that Black Magik-Platinum, Matte tire finish is very good. It doesnt sling off at all, has a low-gloss shine, and lasts severel weeks.

    I tried this product once and while it didnt sling, it didnt give a black matte look for me.

    maybe its just my tires.

    Yeah, it took about 3 applications, but after that my tires stayed black all the time, even after cleaning. They didnt turn gray.....My tires are Toyo.
