It is more of a personal preference. Do you like foam or liquid spray? I use Black Magic with an Eagle One tire wipe and it works great.

I'm using spray right now but I spray it on a foam pad and just rub on the shine to the tires.

Go to a Professional detail shop. Give them 5$ and tell them to fill your bottel with the Crap they use. Most places will do that. Their Crap is allways good to use. thats whati get. No complaints

I want to buy some grease my friend uses this grease from where his dad works man that shine is incredible and you only have to grease it like once a month. It repels water very well too!

i use the armor all ****, iunno what it's called, i just remember it from the bottle's colors, it's the spray kind. i like it becuase it's easy and dosnt give it that glossy shine, just a nice natural shine to it.

I dont like foams or liquid because when it sprays, if theres any hint of wind, it gets on the paint.

I use Meguiars Gold Class Endurance gel. IMO its the best stuff on the market and it lasts a long long time. If you apply it properly you get zero fling off too.

I prefer the Armor All extreme tire shine gel. I used to use the black magic spray on shine wich worked well but always splattered over everything the first time I would drive the car no matter how long I let it dry.

I just used this stuff for the 1st time this weekend too. It still looks like i just put it on and its halfway through the week now. Before this i used the black magic gel, meguiars hot and insane tire shine. This is by far the best stuff ive used so far.

I use the Meguiar's Extreme Tire Shine in the aerosol spray can. Easiest to use, longest lasting, best looking tire shine i've used. And it doesn't sling all over your car!

agreed to the nth degree. after you spray it on, whipe it off and that stuff lasts forever and doesnt sling.

Just bought eagle 1 tire shine and used the foam pad and it looks pretty good so far. Didn't drive the car all day but maybe 1 mile. We'll see how long it lasts. Has anyone used this bottle?
