Default Tire shine

What do you use?

I've tried 2389834958934 tire shines and all of them will fly off all over the fenders the first trip I make down the road, regardless of how little I use or how long I let it set.

Right now I'm using an Eagle One product with an applicator sponge, great shine, but it's gooey on the tires, collects every last spec of dust and.....it flings all over the fenders! The less I apply, the more the finish product is streaked...

Armor all Extreme Tire shine is the best stuff i have ever used by far!
If you use a sponge applicator and lightly put it on it wont fly off and it seriously last for over a week and a half!

Good S***!

I just got the meguires concentrate gel. it comes with an applicator and is by FAR the best thing Ive used. It will give you 1-2weeks and repels water. Takes about 10 min to dry but will not come spraying off.

1 coat for semi-gloss and 2 coats for shiny

Its on my whole tire here...tread and all. (it was a bitch to drive out, like driving on ice but was a good excuse for a break stand)

I buff off the excess with a cotton towel. I don't like glossy tires, so the rich dark look witha good sheen is great. I'll apply to all four tires, let them sit for 20-30 minutes, then buff.

I use meguiars Hot Shine tire spray. No problems with it flying off and sticking to the car.
It doesnt seem to attract dirt like some of them do.

Meguiars Next Generation no touch spray works well for me. No coming off or attracting dirt either.
