Tire Shine
 
What is the best product for Tire Shine?

there are many. I like the ones you spray as oppose to the gels. After you put the gel on the tires it flings all over the side of the car. This is why I started using the spray and doing the tires at night or when I knew it would dry before I drove next. I like black magic as a product

Black Magic is very good if you want the "wet" look.

Zaino also makes a tire gloss product that gives more of a matte look and lasts for several weeks, even through rain.

Ok, this is the first time I had ever used this but man is it awesome.

Turtle Wax, tire gel.

WOW!

I washed the car 3 times and it's still shiny! I can't see how the gel can FLING stuff, you are suppose to not drive the car for 15 min.

You rub the gel in nice and clean and let it dry. It's amazing stuff, through rain and like I said 3 washes.

It is suppose to last longer than sprays and it sure does. The other stuff I use to use was some no name sparkly gel, it didn't last very long, only a couple of days.

Although, if you read Dunlop's website it says NEVER use any time of cleaner on your tires are you may damage the rubber, it says to use mild soap and water.

Glad we don't have Dunlap tires in that case ;).

I bought the Zaino tire stuff. I will try it out this weekend.

My fav is Black Magic Tire Wipes, looks clean and shiny but not greasy, and lasts reasonably long. Also, the wipes are nice because then you're not slopping the stuff all over the place like a spray might.

Also, I would avoid the Zaino tire stuff. It's too watery and it doesn't last very long.

I like meguir's tire gel product. forget the name but works well and lasts about a month.
