'I suggest you go and try the Meguiars product line of tiredressing. It not only lasts long, smells good too. Go on the web and look up their website they have updated auto news and auto parts too, or go to your local auto shop, and ask for their tire dressing line of products. Their website will not only take care of your tires, but your whole car from the inside and outside. Go and check it out, you will not be disappointed.\r\n\r\nHope it helps!!!'

+2, if applied right i get practically zero sling
I have used alot of different aerosol tire shine and was satisfied with them but will never go back after using opt tire gel. It is a water based product that holds up very well and has a beautiful shine. I use it in a paint sprayer which give me more control on spray pattern and quanity.
For me, I like Meg's Endurance. It's the most durable I've found, the glossiness is shiney (but not too shiney), and it's easy for me to apply. I'm too spastic when it comes to use a spray can or trigger and wind up coating part of my rims and the driveway. I do use Meg's Hot Shine spray for the inner wheel wells to dress them up.

I used Eagle 1 Wet Tire Shine. Doesn't brown the tires. Medium gloss, and I apply using shop towels. No sling. I have to admit that the Meguiars Insane tire shine looks really good, and I'm interested in trying that next. I'm a big fan of Meguiar's products.

Just put on some Opti-bond and I must say it looks like my new favorite. Just gotta see how it looks on other brands of tires.
Has anyone used No-Touch lately? Has it been reformulated? I bought a can of it to use in wheelwells,but I used it on the tires of my beater the last time I washed it.
I was impressed! The No-Touch left the tires with a rich black look that wasn't very shiny at all,and it looks perfect in wheelwells IMO.
This used to be a pretty low gloss productin the past,but they've amped up the shine a little without getting too blingy.
The best part is that it's a whopping $2.44 a can at Wally World!

I second that.
I use Hyper Dressing 4:1 for the wheel wells to shine them up.

That's AA Tire Gel just applied. I like it a lot, it lasts quite awhile. I just applied that, but didn't really need to, I just wanted a little more shine. Before that it's been about two weeks since I last applied and it's rained a 3-4 times and I just washed it, and it still looked almost as good, jut a little less of the 'wet' look.

Sorry they're so big ^^. :wall
Just bought some Megs NXT "Insane" just to try out. First impressions are..Wow, very glossy, deep black, almost looks like you've sprayed a clear coat on your tires. I'm curious to see what they look like after sitting all day/night and what kind of durability that shine will have after driving.
Also it is a little too shiny for my taste but I do have some clients that love the glossy look over the clean matte finish appearance. If it passes the fling test and durablilty is good, I'll add something to my arsenal.
Oh and I'm going to do the left side of the car with the Megs and the right with the 303 or CG's VHT (sample after purchase) to see how they hold up.

After using Meguiars Insane Shine for two weeks now, i'll post up what I think:
The first application I did, was truly "insane" as the name suggests. This is the first time this particular set of tires has seen a mass-produced tire shine from an aerosol can!! I normally use a water-based dressing, bought in gallon jugs at my local wholesale auto detail supply.
I now remember why I didn't like these dressings in an aerosol can. After two weeks (and only one light rain), the shine is gone but there is a residue stuck to the tire. Like if you wipe a finger on the sidewall, your finger will look as if you just wiped a greasy black paint.
I just applied it for the second time and it doesn't look nearly as good as the first. I think I have to wipe the black sludge off the tires before reapplying!
After thinly covering a set of four tires, twice now, the can seems half empty already. I anticipate maybe three or four more car washes and the can will be empty.
Keep in mind that this is on 31" mud terrain tires on my SUV, which is a larger sidewall surface than the average passenger car. Also the car is driven daily, but we only had one light rain during the initial two weeks.
Ill probably go back to water based dressing because I like how clean it is after just spraying water on the tires. I think that i'm going to have to take a rag and wipe the black Megiars sludge off to get a good coverage now!!!
