Best Tire Shine?

[5.3L Silverado]

There are so many kinds of tire shine out there and i dont want to just buy anything..what product/brand have you had the best results from?

You don't need anything exotic. I like good old Armor All... I apply it and wait a few minutes, then wipe down with a good terry cloth until I just have a semi gloss look on the tires. Makes the rubber look new. It lasts until I wash again and doesn't look like the used car lot shine that some sprays leave... plus it won't hurt clear coated wheels. (but I wipe them down anyway)

Hard to say, I like a number of them. Meguiars stuff works well for me. Endurance in a gel that you can wipe on.

I like the Black Magic products.......

Meguiars tire gel. After trying many various products over the years, I've found Meguiars to be the best. It lasts quite awhile, looks nice and black/shiny, easy to apply (with optional applicator pad), won't get wheels messy, and when done correctly, it won't get all over the place. It actually took a week of rain and 2 car washes to finally get the recent application off of my tires.

 

The 2 most common is the Endurance (below), which provides a nice deep black shine. And then the high gloss, which is super shiny.

 

And here is what it looks like on a tire. I forgot which one it was I used though...

 

I actually just got the high gloss and used it yesterday since that's all they had. But if you wipe it down, you can make it a less shiny, which is probably what I sorta did above, and still keep a solid black look.

Armor All is what I use. I got tired of wiping the gel on and I use the spray kind and wipe it off. But, the gel is super shiny!

I like using a foam applicator pad along with a the meguiars NXT tire shine. it makes your tires look wet if you like that look.

I don't use a tire shine product on my denali they are greasy and usually ends up on the wheels. I just wash the tires really good, and if need be I use Tire Blac to blac the tires out to bring them back to that new look. Leave the shine for the wheels.

+1 on the Meguiars stuff. I've used alot of different stuff and this gel is awesome. Turtle Wax used to make some that was great stuff but they quit making it so I had to switch. After trying a couple of different things I've stuck with Meguiars

and never looked back.

Black Magic..."Wet" is my favorite for shining them up but it will just seal in dirt if there not real clean first. Aromorall foam cleans good but doesn't shine very much.

Thanks everybody!...when it finally stops raining in So.Cali. i will be sure to try some of the recommended Products.

Zaino tire gloss or Adams VRT - leaves the tires looking nice and black and not greasy - dry to the touch as well. These are two of the best products I've seen that won't turn your tires brown.

I like the Black Magic Foaming tire shine. It leaves a smooth appearance and a nice shine. If the tire is dirty just spray it with a hose hard and then let the tires dry and spray. It'll make the tire look shiny and clean at the same time. I use if for my running board and black plastic on my bumpers to make them black again and protect from UV while self cleaning them. I would recommend doing it at night and then not driving for about 1-2 hours to make sure it soaks in well.

 

Here is a picture of my tires without scrubbing, just spraying with a hose and then spraying the foam on.

I use 303 Protectant on the tires, dash and black trim. It is supposed to be the best for UV protection.
