Tire shine...

For years ive been using the meguiars hot shine for my tires, but it seems as if after one drive in the car most of the shine is gone. Anybody use anything that lasts longer or that they like better? Just looking for something different.

I use eagle one, and it lasts what seems like forever. I get the one that's NOT in the spray bottle. Don't apply too much, or it will spray up onto your fenders.

Same here man. I use meguiars hot shine spray and it sucks. It shines and after one drive it slings all over my car which pisses me off.

I heard good things about Black Magic Tire Shine Foam so im gonna give that a shot next time

i spray black&wet onto fitted sponge (shaped like a U so its covers the whole tire) and put it on that way. No spray on wheels and tires shine up nicely

watch out on the foams, they turn your tires brown when left in the sun and that **** isn't easy to get off except with the use of a mean degreaser

I like the Meguiars Endurance tire shine that comes in the bottle. Its sprays on the rear fenders pretty bad if you use too much, but it lasts a long time.

I use Black Magic's tire foam, and the only time it does that is if it rains

I use meguiars endurance gel applied w/foam applicator. I still have ~1" of the bottle left and have had it for almost 4 years!!! A little goes a long way and it doesn't sling off.

I second the Zaino tire shine -- it has a more satin like appearance, doesn't sling or discolor and lasts for weeks at a time.

I am a fan of the good old black magic stuff too. I spray it on a foam wax applicator pad and put it on that way so it never spins off.

I use Stoner More Shine Less TIme. It stays shiney from wash to wash. (I wash the car once a week).

IMO, Stoner is the best 'natural' shine I have found.

.... ArmorAll turns my tires grey after two days...
