Default Best Tire Shine

What do you think is the best can of tire shine that has a long lasting tire shine that almost makes your tire look like they are wet?

Jet wet is all I use, sprays on no wiping needed.

I like Meguires Endurance High Gloss Gel. Has a great shine and lasts longer than anything i've ever used. Apply 1 coat, wait 10-15 minutes, aply a 2nd coat, gives a really wet look.

Meguires Hot Shine in the spray can is what I use, doesn't sling off. But if you have time for it to set a day or so, NOTHING BETS BLACK MAGIC !!

This is what we use!! Works great and does not sling off very easily. Use it with the tire applicator and you are good to go!!

Endurance is nice but slings off. Zaino doesnt look quite as wet but is cleaner to put on and will last just as long. The Zaino is also perfect for detailing your dash and interior too

Zaino Z16 - apply two coats for a "wetter" finish.

Always apply dressing with a tire swipe.

Be careful with the spray... if it gets on your rims it will make them ugllllly, most tire shine will collect dirt... so when i spray i have a towel in hand as well... then I use a tire 'whiper' to make it look good.

I like More Shine Less Time, No Touch and I just got a case of Black Magic Foam. I love the tire gel endurance stuff but that sponge is a pain in the ***.

I like Hot Shine, gives the tire more depth instead of a "wet" look.

That's the new NXT line tire dressing right? I was going to try it, but I'm going back to the Endurance High Gloss Gel. I used to use regular Endurance, and it's the best stuff I've tried. It's the ONLY product I've used that doesn't make a mess applying it, doesn't fling off, and will last through rain.

Meg's Hot Shine spray is the last product I used. It looks great but made a mess spraying it on, then flung itself all over my wheelwells.

Eagle One Wet Tire Shine for me....best applied and left to set overnight. Wipe off the excess the next day and enjoy!
