Yup I love it. It goes on as a clear spray but turns the wheels very black. Also it doesn't sling onto your car, and it lasts a long time. I really only need to do mine once a month, but every 2 weeks if I want it to look "wet".

Plus it only takes a couple minutes to do all 4 tires. I mainly picked it up to be a time saver compared rubbing tire gel crap onto them like I used to, which is a pita and takes forever. But the results speak for themselves.

I think the meguiars "hot shine" looks even better. In any case, here is a tip for applying it: Buy the spray bottle, not the aerosol can and spray it on a wax applicator pad then rub it on your tire. It saves so much that I've had the same bottle for like 5 months and its not halfway gone yet and I detail my car a lot. Wait a few minutes and put on a second coat for a really wet look.

I just use the Black Magic gel. It takes longer but it also lasts longer than a spray. I'd just rather spend a bit more time on things and have to do them less frequently. I might try it out though just for giggles.

This is crazy. I make the aerosol valve for the HOT SHINE. My company invented it. Would like some feedback please on the aerosol. If it's my valve it has an adjustable spray head with a L M H settings hot-stamped on the white collar and a black spray head.

The widest setting (when spraying on normal size passenger tires) doesn't get enough of even coating from the left to the ride edge of the stream, still focuses mainly on the middle area. I realize it's hard to avoid that, just feedback though if you make it and it can be fixed. Also, maybe a spray nozzle that is easier on the finger since you have to move it around at all different angles to get all around the tire. The best feeling nozzle I've used was on a can of Krylon (I could be wrong) paint I believe. It was a sort of red translucent nozzle and was shaped sort of like the shape that the electrode/gap/prong of a spark plug make (if you're looking at the nozzle from the side, there is a gap in it that looks like a 'U' turned 90 degrees). It was so much easier to use that kind of nozzle and made life a lot better.

That krylon valve you talk about is a male needle aerosol valve made by Seaquest valve company. They clog easy. People today are demanding more so, larger cans ( more product) can fit inside. Thanks and FYI I've been working on bringing back the old school big button spray head the Tomato.........cause we only made them in red. Except for this one

It pretty much is the same but, gives more area for the finger. More comfort.

I give it one coat around the tire and mine doesn't. If I go over them again though, you do get too much and it runs a bit, so I could see it slinging.

it changes settings while in use for me, so I'll start on the smallest and when I do the swoop around the tire it fans out bigger
