tired of sling! i have a white camaro and sling is my worst nightmare! i always buy the tire shine that says no sling and it always seems to sling. ive tried the gels and the spray on kind. what product are you guys using that has a long lasting shine but most importantly does sling?!?
Maybe it's not the product, but the application. If you're just spraying it on, chances are good it will sling. You have to distribute it evenly and get off the excess. For that, I recommend a tire applicator.

any thing silicone will stay wet and sling imo.
i like water based dressings like they have at tropi care or zaino tire shine.
the water based ones dry and dont sling off to much or at all once you learn to apply them. aplication is key with any dressing and i have tryed just about all the store baught dressings and they all sling. im hate when that happens especialy on my black benz because it shows really bad on black cars and also on white. looks like little black spots.
your better of ordering some from tropicare with an aplicator.

I just did my tires forthe first time the other day. I used some Turtle Wax stuff I picked up at the dollar store, I figured it was worth a shot. I sprayed it onto a Eagle One tire sponge (best 2.50 you can spend!), and applied it that way. It came out very good.
Not extremely glossy, I don't like that wet, "gelled" look, but a nice shine with NO sling that still looks like I just applied it even after driving through a rainstorm today.

The biggest problem i see is that people wash there cars but dont really wash there tires full of tire shine...
then they put more and more...making a lot of layers of it then it causes sling
what i do is use any liquid spray on a rag and rub it in..
it takes off the dirt and the old tire shine and leave it with a nice shine that doesnt sling.

First make sure you've cleaned the tires well. I always use Bleche-Wite spray (do not get this on the rims) and a stiff brush. Then apply a small amount of Adam's VRT (my favorite) or Zaino Z-16 (great alternative) to a dry tire.
