so i purchased my truck two weeks ago..... ive washed it twice now and both times the tire shine ive been using for a while now did not stick to the tire very well!

 

i purchased a gallon of the meguiars tire shine...pink in color. works great on my other vehicles.....

 

the new 2015 silverado came with good years on its factory 20" wheels. the sidewall is smooth no ridges.

 

what are you all using on these tires!!???

Armor All outlast tire glaze. Lasts for months, doesn't wash off. Comes in a small spray can.

An overlooked part of applying a tire dressing is the prep - if anything with a heavy silicone base was used by the dealer it may prevent other dressings from being able to properly bond with the rubber. Also, increasingly more tires are very fickle about taking a dressing. Rubber compounds have gotten increasingly complex and varied as a result a dressing that works amazing on one tire might not do a thing on another.

I'd start by suggesing a proper cleaning. The tire needs to be scrubbed, aggresively! Our All Purpose Cleaner and the Deep Clean Tire Scrub Brush are a good combo for getting everything off of your rubber and even scouring spent anti-ozonant from the surface leaving you with bare rubber to work with. Once you've got the tire clean and dry then apply your dressing.

 

The Super VRT suggested above is a more natural rubber look. Doesn't have a high gloss, but it looks nice and dressed, plus its water based and offers UV protection to the tire.

The other option is our Tire Shine. Its a higher gloss dressing that will last longer than the SVRT, but it does contain some silicone (as pretty much any high gloss dressing will)

For over the counter I like turtle wax wet n black.. Doesn't sling all over the paint like most others and doesn't have a crazy shine

Like Adams posted, CLEAN the crap out of your tires. Bleach White works awesome. And my favorite tire shine is the new Adams Tire Shine, the yellow one. The SVRT is great too, but IMO the new tire shine is killer.

Adams tire shine is way better than SVRT

I drive my truck a lot in the dirt and most of the tire products I have used just collect the dirt. I have gone to just scrubbing them good with a stiff brush and leave the oily stuff off.

I guess I don't get it. Why would anybody want shiny tires? Look at a brand new tire. No shine.

When I apply my tire shine I whip off excess with an applicator pad. This removes the high gloss and gives it more of the "new" tire look plus it doesn't sling the crap every where and makes the coat more even. The tire looks clean not shiny. I use either Maguire's hot shine or Aero 303.

Bought my truck on a Friday afternoon and brought it back from detail shop they didn't clean all the blue off and slopped tire shine all over. For a long time whenever it rained or power washed they looked really bad. Used a foam tire gloss at first now use Black Magic clear and wipe it on , my favorite was Eagle One tire dressing but haven't seen it for awhile

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
