Tire shine, dressing? - Toyota Yaris Forums

jamal1984 · 09-27-2007, 04:56 PM

Any recommendation or experienced about tire shine/wet looking? i'm using Meguiar's Gold Class ENDURANCE High Gloss Long lasting tire protection gel and still coulnd't get no wet/shiny looking at all.

Well I've been using 303 Aerospace Protectant...does rubber, plastic, vinyl all kinds of stuff. Anything rubber I use it on. My friend tells me that all the Mini guys use it and I know the biker boys use it if they are into the detailing aspect of the game. Hard to find....but most boating outlet stores, shops or marinas have it. Oh, the boaters use it also......ya think.

I'm about to go buy some of that 303 stuff and see what it does for me cause i hate lookin at dull tires and rims! I'll let you know how i like it!

The Armor All gel stuff works well for me. My understanding is that to get the "wettest" look you need to use any number of the spray-ons, but those leave a lot of residue on your car after driving. I am surprised that the Meguiars doesn't work for you. Might try some of their Insane Shine stuff in addition to the other. The Gold Class should keep them looking black longer if not wetter.

yeah let's me know how it's works, take some pictures.

Jen, when I use it I be sure to wash the hell out of my tires and then apply just enough to say put on a protective coating. I do not spray on the tire but rather a gauze pad and then wipe it on. The key to any tire dressing is start with super clean tires....u knew that already.

I've been using eagle one for a few years now. Works great and doesn't wick much at all.

i heard that tire shine products crack the sidewall of tires....... but i use eagle one and just bought a brand called black magic for it this time since i ran out

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-28-2007, 03:40 AM

i don't really like Black Magic (at least the interior products).

jamal1984 · 09-28-2007, 09:39 AM

i will wait for Jen result or else i will go out and buy around 5 different products and try them on. :)

PolarWhite · 09-28-2007, 10:43 AM

The only thing to watch out for is the ones that will attract dirt after application. We live in the dirt storm capital of the Texas and you can really have some ugly tires if you use the wrong product. I do not care for the Armor All line of products myself.

jamal1984 · 09-28-2007, 05:15 PM

ok anyway i got myself 4 different kind i will use it on 4 different tire and take pictures later if ya interested.
