Tire Shine

What do you all use for your TL Tire Shine? What is the Best one out there that actually lasts a couple of days? Any suggestions...

I have used the Meguiar's "Endurance" gel (lasts long- inconvenient to apply) but recently switched to their "Hot Shine" spray application. Doesn't last as long as the gel but the results are good. I had a 61 year old lady complement me on how nice the tires looked at church Sunday after Saturday's application.

I use the eagle 1 tire wipes. may not work as well as some of the sprays out there, but very convenient to use, just wipe em, and throw it away. The come in a bottle like the amorall wipes do.

Meguiars Endurance - they make two flavors - shiny and not shiny. I prefer the not shiny. Looks great, lasts pretty good - no spray off etc after driving.

Worth it to try - I think you will be very happy.

Eagle 1 tire shine (spray) its thicker than your traditional liquid but not as thick as gel and lasts a long time

I've been very interested in this too. I have the purple gel shit and it's disgusting to put on the tires. Lasts long and doesn't make my tires BROWN like the cheap stuff, but I hate doing it, so I end up skipping it.

Do any of the products you guys mention turn the tires brown after a few days? I hate that. Ideally, I'd like a spray that lasts a long time and doesn't turn the tires brown.

The Meguiars spray doesn't turn them brown. It's probably the same formula as the gel only a little thinner. One thing I failed to mention was that the nozzle has a convenient adjustment on it to vary the width of the spray from "Low profile" to "truck" size tires.

I use Aerospace 303 on the tires...it does more than make them look pretty.

Hmm....I have that stuff already. I use it on my interior plastics. Works good on tires too? Does it put down a nice shine? Last long? I might give it a try.

I use the Zaino Tire Gloss - Put it on with an applicator and you don't spray it all over your rims/car. I think it does a perfect amount of shine - not too slimely looking. The Gloss looks like milk before you put it on. Lasts 2 weeks maybe but I've been washing my car every week.
