Just remembered I got some of the new Mother's Reflections Advanced tire shine in my Xmas stocking along with their wheel polish. That's just Got to be good!

There's a Dupont spray on, no wipe. Comes in a black spray bottle. Works well for me. Forget the actual product name.

When I was doing my time in ARMY, and was about to have an inspection we used a quick dirty trick to shine cars tires.
Water well mixed with sugar. Spray,let dry and DONE.
It really gives a great result. Cheap and great.

But I would not use it on my 8. A lot of flies like that.

Considering your tires wear out in two years... I think anything would be good as long as you don't spill it on the treads.

Alright with tire shine, anyone have problems with cleaning all of the sh*t after they put it on and driving away? I let mine sit over night and it was flung all over the car...maybe I shouldn't put so much? BUT IT LOOKS SO GOOD

Just dont put so much, there is really no way around the splatter if you use too much.

I used to use black magic but sometimes when I overspray, it would get on the car. I switched to meguiars hot shine and never flings off when I overspray. I tried the meguiars gel today on my tires, I will see how it looks tomorrow.
