Just wondering if it was worth the extra dollar?

 

Never used it. I'd say give it a shot unless it contains silicone.

I personally have been using 303 on my tires and am happy with the results. It give a nice matte finish and contains UV protectants.

 

I used the Dupont Teflon tire shine this weekend. It goes on looking like regular Armour All, but dries really fast and is dry to the touch while still having a shine. It doesn't come off the tires while you are driving either.

 

i am looking for that jeri curl shine fro my tires. I dig the shine.

 

get gel, not spray. lasts longer.

 

just used the stuff its prety nice but u got to apply quite abit to get that shine

 

how about black magic tire shine?

 

I used to use Mequires Hot shine, with the adjustable nob, but now that the Insane Shine came out, I pay the extra buck for it. It lasts long with no dirt build up and if you apply like 2 even rounds with the can, let it sit for like 7 mins, scrub it, it will be blingin.

 

Meguiars ENDURANCE - comes in two shines - not so shiny (my fav) and really shiny. It is a Purple gel - works great.

 

nxt insane shine is great when weather is dry. if it rains, say bye bye to that shine. armor all extreme tire shine lasts longer and you get more and it's cheaper, but doesnt shine quite as bright, but not much difference at all. Gel lasts a lot longer, but the spray seems to have a better shine.

 

Meguiars tire endurance works VERY VERY well.

BUT... I don't like the stuff that stores sell now, it seems maybe they only sell the high gloss around here, they used to have an endurance that was a "lotion" like consistency, not like the clear/purple gel they have now. what I use is item number G-7410 (or G-7416) (yes, i know it says gel too, but the consistency is more like lotion, not a gel)

You can still get it direct from Meguiars if they don’t sell the "non" gel kind in your area... it's all a matter of preference, i just found the gel kind was too sticky, and would sling off if you weren’t really careful to get the excess off.

 

I also use Meguiars endurance tire dressing. I think it works very well, and gives a great shine. I've been using the same bottle for two years now, although i don't put it on that much anymore.

What's a good applicator to use with it? I've been using a foam applicator, but that dosn't hold up too well.
