It seems like Armor All Tire Foam doesn't work as well as Black Magic Wet Tire Foam.

It seems like Armor All Tire Foam doesn't work as well as Black Magic Wet Tire Foam. Again, it seems like I have to spray the Armor All Tire Foam on the tires twice to get it a nice black color I like. With the Black Magic, I would only do it once.

I had been using mcguires gel and then bought the armor all extreme tire shine gel. Mcguire's is much better. I'll have to try black magic, my armor all is pretty well gone.

The meguiers gel is by far the best out of about ten different products I have tried in the past. It looks amazing, is easy to put on and smells great. LOL

The gel sucks. It flings all over my car and lasts about two days at most. I bought it once because they were out of the spray at Autozone, so I thought i'd try something new. Used it three times and threw it away.
I started with Eagle One spray, then tried my buddy's Black Magic spray, then on a detailer's recommendation, tried Armor All "Detailer's Advantage" spray. That's the one I now use religiously. It's easy to apply, stays shiny until the tires get thoroughly wet (pretty much when I wash the car again), and doesn't fling all over the car. Last fall I actually purchased the regular Armor All "Fierce Shine" spray, and it sucked too. Threw that away after one use. So far, the only one i'm happy with is the "Detailer's Advantage" spray.

If the gel is flinging all over your car you are putting too much on or not letting it "dry" enough. It usually took about a dime size dot on a foam pad to apply them to my old tires. Mine were shiny for about 2-3 weeks depending on how much I drove it.
If I wanted it to be extra shiny I went over them with a second coat. I had a white car and never had problems with the fling.

I had that problem with I a previous gel I had. I would find debri on the tire. Mowed grass etc even after letting it sit for 30 minutes. Mcguire's gel hasn't had that problem, also after waiting thirty minutes to dry.
I love the look of gravel dust on your tires (not the sides) though when they are slicked up. side note..
