Tire shine, dressing?
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.

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.

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 like Armour All Tire Foam. It doesn't attract dirt and keeps my tires shiny for a couple of weeks. Good stuff (to me).

I think that may be what I used before... I looked at it again today and it doesn't seem to contain the petroleum-based stuff that Natethegreat warned about above (most of the glossier "wet-shine" sprays did seem to contain petroleum). If I remember correctly, the shine was nice and black without being overly glossy. Other concerns I had besides those I mentioned above (cracking and browning) were that some products just don't last very long (sorry, but one week is a joke) and that some products come off onto the body panels (I believe this is called "sling").
