Stoner! Do0D!! THe tire shine is great! But I don't see too many places that carry it. usually Napa, Checker and MAYBE Autozone/Advance Auto.

EDIT:.. Here's an example. I JUST took this picture. My car is filthy and I have NOT applied tire shine in almost two weeks and the tires are 4 months old. Check my sig pic too. I'll add another pic.





THis pic is a month or so old. but this is after a FULL detail. Wash, dry, claybar, polish and Wax. Also applied Stoner tire stuff.

yeah i agree all the gel tire shines work wonders, they last, they repel water like crazy, and they have a wayy deeper shine when compared to sprays and foams, just my .02

You can get it at NAPA, Checker, Advance Auto or Auto Zone. The last two may NOT carry it. Checker does.

That armor all stuff does last a while, but what i don't like is just that's it's a messy goop and it can be tough to get good coverage on tires with those rough sidewalls unless you take a little more time or really slop it on. Works great on a tire with a smooth wall though.

^ Try that foam applicator they sell. That might help.

Umm no. Speedy brite will sling everywhere. I use that stuff at work. Honestly, at home I use the Meguiars Hot Shine spray and let it sit for a little while. I never see any sling. Also Meguiars Professional All Seasons Dressing is an excellent product. You can look into that if you'd like.

you mean the one that comes with it? if so that's what I use. I mean it does the job, just sometimes i gotta go back and forth to get it in all the grooves and it wears on the applicator. Already had one separate, so whenever the 2nd one wears out I may go get some other applicator and try that.

i also use the megs endurance, it works great!

but if i dont want too much shine i use megs natural shine. 1 coat leaves it looking deep black, very little shine, 2 coats adds a good amount of shine.

the NXT tire shine is pretty bad ***, i had the spray but i applied it with a applicator sponge.

i try to stay away from foams, too messy in my opinion.

Ne body use good ole armor all?

I use car brite tire shine ( i think it's called quick dry dressing or soemthing). I get it through my local gmc dealership. I've never been more satisfied in my entire life. The only bad thing is, if I leave my dealership, I have no way of getting ahold of it anymore If you want, I'll post up some pics for you of it from a day, 1 week, 2 weeks, and a month. It lasts for a long time.

IMO, Stoner is the best 'natural' shine I have found. .... ArmorAll turns my tires grey after two days...
^^ Me too it works awesome, and very easy to apply
