tire dressing

Hey Guys,

What do you guys recommend on cleaning / dressing the tires or windshield cleaning? Zaino? I'm getting the complete Zaino polishing kit. What about the Zaino tire dressing or the Zaino windshield cleaner? Or are there a better product out there?

Thanks in advance.

I use the Black Magic Tire Gel. I've used several different tire dressings and this is the one that I like the best.

...another vote for Black Magic. I just buy the spray on kind. Stays wet-looking the longest of anything I've tried.

I've heard their tire dressing and glass polish are pretty good. I plan to try Stoners for glass sometime. Heard great stuff about that.

I clean my tires with Eimann Fabrik Hi Intensity and a stiff nylon brush. Use Eagle One Wet Tire Shine on my tires. Use 303 on the dash. Clean wheels with car wash shampoo and soft boar's hair brush.

Thanks for the info, guys. I guess Zaino is only best for its polish / wax.

I use Zaino's tire dressing. I love it. Not greasy. Doesn't "fling" like most dressings. And it has UV protection as well.

Thanks again. I probably go for Meguiar's endurance since long lasting is what I am looking for. I don't quite need the best gloss. Does Meguiar endurance have any of the bad chemicals for the tires like grease, oil, silicon etc...?

Any other comments on other products that last a long time?

if u want more shine, they say u can apply a 2nd or 3rd coat allowing each to dry for at least 15mins. i usually put on 2 applications and i love the results. i last put it on 2 weeks ago and even tho the gloss has diminished a bit, my tires are still nice n black.
