Anybody used this as compared to Black Magic's normal Tire Wet Spray??? I am wondering what the difference is between the two and I am considering buying the Gel if it lasts longer.....But not if it's not as deep, wet, and shiny looking....Let me know
 
It looks better, IMHO. I have migrated to Meg's high endurance HG. With the Megs there is NO FLIG AT ALL. ANd requires almost no products to make look good and lasts a LONG time... I also use the BM TW GEL..for the people that want the highest shine.

I assume he meant fling. This, also called sling, refers to tire dressing coming off of the tire and onto your paint during driving.
 
I've never used the gel, but I think I'll give it a try. I like the look of the Black Magic spray, but like Billy says, the spray does tend to end up on the fenders.
 
Looks Wet No Mess tire shine is the longest lasting tire shine I've ever tried. You have to use the stuff to believe it, because it sprays on without driping or running. The biggest benefit though is that the product doesn't fling all over your car. Also because it is a spray on it gives more of a glass like finish as opposed to the wiped on look of the gels. I have gotten almost three weeks of shine on Michelin tires a little less on Goodyears though. This stuff almost feels dry after about 2 minutes. I usually take those paper towels from the gas station underneath the window squegee to wipe off the brake dust after about a week. You would be suprised at how much of the original shine comes back you when you do this.

I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING ABOUT SPRAYS AND OVERSPRAY. THIS PRODUCT DOESNT OVERSPRAY ONTO THE BODY OF THE CAR AT ALL EVEN IN WIND. IN VERY WINDY CONDITIONS THE OVERSPRAY ON WHEELS IS NEARLY ZERO. LOOK I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ENDURANCE TO NOT SLING EVEN WITH REPEATED WIPING DOWN WITH A TOWEL. THIS PRODUCT BY CONTRAST SPRAYS ON IN ABOUT TEN SECONDS A TIRE WITH NO SLINGING. UNLIKE MANY AUTOPIANS WHO LIKE THE MATTE FINISH ON THEIR TIRES I LIKE THE REALLY HIGH GLOSS STUFF. WHY WORK YOUR PAINT FOR HOURS THEN SHINE YOUR WHEELS ONLY TO HAVE A MATTE FINISH ON YOUR TIRES? lOOKS WET NO MESS IS THE HIGHEST GLOSS PRODUCT I'VE FOUND PLUS I DONT NEED TO TOUCH THE SPONGES THAT ALWAYS GET TIRE GELL IN YOUR FINGER NAILS. THE WEB SITE IS SUPERSHINEDETAIL.COM THEY DONT TAKE CREDIT CARDS THOUGH.
 
Just wanted to clarify. The product looks wet no mess has never been sold at Sam's. It is only sold on the web and at car shows. I believe the previous post was refering to Black Majic tire shine which is sold at the discount clubs like sams and costco
 
Endurange, doesnt flig for me. I clean the tires every wash, let the tires dry completely and let the cars sit for at least 45 min. I dont buff it at all. Maybe differnece in the way we wash our wheels? I just DK!.. oh well



I will try the LNWT shine..

yes. It was referring to the black magic tire shine gel. At our sams club they sell it in galon sized jugs....... they also sell armor all protectant this way which I have a container of for use on wheel wells and undercarriage components (easier to work with and cheaper than griot's undercarriage spray IMHO)

Yeah, I use endurance on my personal cars...... I have used the Z16 in the past (also does not sling for me) but I thought it left a brown tint unlike endurance.



here's my tire cleaning method for those interested:



1) Wet tire with hose spray

2) Scrub with wheel brush and car wash soap solution

3) Spray with wheel cleaner (Meguiar's Gold Class - Red Bottle) and scrub with wheel/tire brush - allow to stand 30 seconds then rinse

4)Spray with Westley's Bleache White, scrub with brush, allow to stand 30 seconds then rinse

5) Spray with Meguiar's EXTRA! Cleaner, agitate with brush, allow to stand 30 seconds then rinse

6) Spray with Clorox Clean Up Disinfecting Cleaner, agitate with brush and rinse instantly (do not allow to stand)

7) Spray with Simple Green (full strength from sprayer) scrub with brush, allow to stand 30 seconds then rinse.

8) Flush tire thouroughly with stream of water to ensure all remaining products and chemicals are removed.

9) Allow to air dry (may appear slightly grey after this process)

10) Dry remaining with towel. Mist tire lightly with Armor All protectant, then spread and remove excess product with a shop rag. Dry with second shop rag.

11) Apply liberal coating of Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel with an Eagle One Tire Swipe. Spread evenly on entire surface of tire, being sure to cover into the edge treads with a foam paint brush. Allow this to sit for 30 minutes (while MF blotting and QDing paint after wash process) until excess dressing is almost no longer visible on surface. Remove remaining product with a shop towel, follow with a second shop towel to lessen tack of product on tire.

12) Stand back and watch that tire shine! :xyxthumbs :wavey

never can be too sure...... My real judgement is when the final cleaner I use comes off white instead of grey, brown, or black like the first ones end up doing. Then I know I've gotten all the crap out of them I possibly can! :up
 
Well.... not that anyone cares. But I will put in my $.02 in. Heres my process in cleaning/shining the tires.



1- Dawn scrub w/ plastic tire brush.

2- Let tire dry completely

3- Spray tire with Castrol Super Clean (big purple bottle) and wipe down completely. (let stand 5 mins.)

3- Spray tire with Son Of A Gun protectant (or similar). Wipe down. let stand.

4- Apply Meguiars High Enurance gel w/ applicator. Let stand about 20 mins before driving. (Otherwise it will spin off)



Have Fun
 
Black Magic is by far the best stuff I have ever used for tires. It lasts for weeks. Unless you let if fully dry, then it will fling onto the side of the car, but as far as shine. WOW. Nothing beats it or lasts longer.:xyxthumbs
