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.

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.

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.

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...
