Anybody use/like it?

I bought a can of it today. I liked the way it went on. Took 2 passes on my tires for it to shine out good. My tires absorbed it the first pass. Didn't take it down the road to see if it slings up the side of my truck. Will have to see how long it will stay glossy. Supposed to rain tomorrow.....so we'll see if it holds up..........
 
It is way too shiny for my taste. By the time you control the streaks and drips it is pretty greasy looking. I like wet, but greasy is going too far.
 
Poorboy's BnB provides decent shine, but isn't overwhelming. It is also water-based so it will not damage your tires.
 
I'll second on the bold and bright. I saw it on a car last weekend being used on the tires and in the engine bay. It looked nice.

So what product gives a nice "new" shine? Not too glossy, but then a nice, clean shine......
Know what I'm saying???

303 gives a nice 'muted' shine and lasts a good while
This is after being applied and buffed off, if you apply, then let it sit without buffing, it's a bit shinier

Thing I don't like about meguiars new product is that it is aerosol and I really hate them
The shine that it gives would probably match that of the industrial silicone filled garbage that I have to use at work on new mazda vehicles
Looks like a machine buffed paint job, really wet and shilacky, not very realistic

Autoglym 07b and lanolin are great for de oxidising tyres and sonus, DP, 4 star and wolfgang tire gel's are my favourites
However poorboys BnB sounds great though, really like steve's products
 
I used to be a gloss guy, but have developed into a flat shine guy. I use Zep Tireless Shine, but would like to explore water-based products.

I too use Zep Tireless Shine. Last a pretty good time and gives that nice wet shine. Be careful as it does sling if you don't wipe it. Got an order of PoorBoys BnB though to try out.
 
I was using it for awhile. I switched back to Hot shine because it has a adjustable nozzle which I like because it tones down the over spray. Insane shine would last a good two weeks before my tires were dulling again. Thats was with constant raining. I just don't like having to buff the car to remove all the over spray. It sticks out like a soar thumb on my black car.

I know know about that.... It's good, but 'best' isn't a very objective word. Some people really like that greasy wet look from other products. For larger tires I might go for something a little wetter looking than Bold n Bright, but for my low profile tires it isn't practical.

You are too kind. It's not the best, but I know what is the best and it's our secret. :-p

When I don't want the best I use Insane Shine when I want that dripping wet bling look on big SUV tires with lots of knobby tread that gets covered really nice and even with the aersol spray. (And I charge accordingly because that stuff ain't cheap) :eek:
 
This is the only comparison I have between NXT and something else. I painted my calipers a couple weeks after I got the car and figured I'd give the NXT Insane Shine a shot while I was at it. Since the wheel was off the car I figured there wouldn't be an issue with overspray if I shined the tires before I put them back on.

It was just a little too much for low tires like that. I think it would look much better on larger tires. I honestly haven't done much testing with this product. It has been a busy summer and I've sort of been sticking with what works.
 
Yeah, Insane Shine almost detracts from a nicely polished and sealed wheel. Something a little more matte on the other hand compliments the wheel and the paint, and doesn't draw too much attention to the tire.
