I havent had that problem. But I go back and wipe down the tires after i put it on, to get the excess off. Its a little more work, but I never find any on the rear bumper, and I have 315s back there.

I have Zaino too but when I really want that shine I use the Armor All gel and always put it on before I polish the wheels. No issues with slinging.

This is the tire shine I've been looking for. I haven't seen any of these at any stores in a LONG TIME! I know it works really good though. Anyone know where I can get this?

Does the Zaino sling? I rarely put tire shine cause no matter how long my car sits after i apply it, I'm always having to clean it off after the first drive.

You can get it at Autozone. They might not have it on the shelves but they can order some for you. Just request it, Ive had to do it in the past. In fact I bought two bottles last time.

This stuff is amazing. You have to make sure you rub it in though or it WILL sling but its very easy to make it not sling. Lasts the longest of anything Ive ever used and you can do multiple layers to make it even have a super high shine or just a little bit to give it a matte finish look. Highly recommend this stuff.

Never used Zaino. However If you use the stuff I posted on page two I can guarantee you it wont sling. Im the same way, I looked and looked for a grease-less finish that doesn't sling and so far thats the only one.

Question about the Zaino - Does it hold up well to rain and water?

I know the Armor All Gel will completely come off or streak if you drive a vehicle in the rain.

Brilliant! Don't know why I never tried that.

anyone ever tried using that no touch extreme tire shine? its in a spray can and it works well. great shine and no sling for me. but my car is black so you cant see it. The only thing is it will get it on the wheels so i have to wipe it off of them. but it smells good=]

Thanks, I will give it a try. Does it give the tires more of just a black look than a wet look. Hope that made sense lol.

edit: Never mind, I looked it up on the black magic website. Thats pretty much what I've been looking for in a tire shine. I have never seen this stuff in my area though, what store do you usually pick it up from.

I find that the auto stores sell it for $7.50 - $8.50 per can. BUT I have found several walmarts that sell it for $5.50 per can, check there first.

same here,but damn that is expensive down there.wal-mart here in indy $5.50,sometimes on sale 4 $4.50.also NXT is damn good to.

Finally, I found this stuff. I went down to Autozone and my boys girlfriend (She's a manager) gave me 2 bottles for free. This stuff works good though.
