Tire dressing/tire shine

If I'm out of the VRT stuff from Adam's, 2nd favorite is Meguiar's High Shine Gloss in the can.

+1 on Adams Super VRT. It's a great product

I use 303 Aerospace protectant on my tires every once in a while and it looks great. 303 is also what I use for the interior of my vehicles and the hull of my inflatable boat so I have plenty of it laying around. 303 has been on the market a while and does a great job with out causing any sort of rot so I trust it for my tires. You can get it at boating supply shops or any of the major online retailers, it is good stuff, try it!

 

it awesome, works great!

The key to avoiding premature tire rot and the browning effect on the sidewalls is to avoid dressings that contain silicones and petroleum distallate. Pretty much all your high gloss products (armourall, hot shine, etc) are going to be full of silicones. The short term effect is a greasy, oily, shine on the surface. Long term you'll end up with issues like sidewall cracking and on trim discoloration.

 

You should always use a water based dressing (our Super VRTrecommended by others earlier is water based) By design our product is not a high gloss, it leaves tires and trim looking new and dressed, not like you've slathered your exterior trim with oil.

I use Detailer's Pro Series Gloss Tire Gel or Carpro PEARL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant!

Why does the stuff, i guess any brand, stain the driveway / concrete?

 

it doesn't leave a "mark" but after a rain, you can always see where the car / truck was parked when tire spray / shine was used.

 

Damn, Now I know what is causing the marks on the concrete after it rains, not going to stop me from using the product, but it's nice to know what's causing it. LOL
