Tire Dressing... which one again?
Well, bluelex came over a few weeks ago to adjust my coilovers.... We deceided to put some tire dressing on the tires to shine them up... I have 2 different kinds the Dupont none grease and "WET" tire shine. I used the WET version since i didn't have good experience with the DUpont... Low and behold that same day i had streaks on the paint and i was pissed.. I knew this would happen.... So today i washed the car and detailed mist waxed the car... The mist wax took the streaks right off so i was happy.... I'm going to give the Dupont another try I don;t know what else to use Any suggestions

I was just walking through a Pep-boys today to kill time and noticed they had a Tire shine applicator pad on the rack. I think it was an Eagle One product not sure, but it was contoured to the shape of a normal tire and was a sponge like material. Might want to give that a shot should be able to control the amount better than with a paint brush. Just happen to see the post and figured I'd drop my 2 pennies.

That is why it is still on the shelf was thinking the same thing but it looked like a halfway decent idea not sure just how absorbent the material is but its prob a one-shot deal...do your 4 wheels and the inside of the trash can.

I use Meguiar's HOT SHINE. A lot of people have runoff/spinoff problems with this one, but as long as you can let the car sit for an hour or two after applying, you won't get spinoff. I've never gotten it, and I always let the car sit for at least an hour after applying. By the way, I spray it onto a soft sponge (like a kitchen sponge) to apply, just keep squeezing the sponge to release more product as opposed to squirting the sponge full of product for each tire.

Meguiairs High Engurance (its purple liquid in a clear bottle). Go easy on the coverage, and you still get a great shine and not much spinoff at all. I have have light colored car too so I know what you mean!
