Alright, so whats the best tire shine out there on the market today? We used to have an oil that we put on the tires when i worked at a toyota dealership (high school) but i havent found it recently. Im looking for shine and quick drying to resist sraying the rear of the car

 

Megs Endurance High Gloss


STill the best i've ever used.

 

I use the meg's stuff as well.

not only does it stick a billion times better than anything else, it smells like grape jelly, too. got a sample at a car show, and I've never used anything else since.

 

also, it doesn't turn the tires brown!

 

i use the armorall extreme tire shine... i washed my car friday morning and it has been raining nonstop since adn ive been all over the place in the stang this weekend and still look good as new!!!

 

I was given some armor-all stuff in an aerosol can for my b-day. It works great and sticks for a little under a week usually, but sometime's it's hard to get on evenly and part of the tire doesn't get covered.


What's this about turning my tires brown?

 

Most people don't give a lot of thought to their tires except for how they look. Truth be known, your tires are designed to perform under extreme conditions of heat via kinetic energy transfer, high speeds for long periods of time and incredible forces of torque and flexing. That's a lot to ask from a chunk of rubber, inflated with air like a cream filled donut.

The science behind the modern rubber formulas used by major tire manufactures today is both complex and interesting. The rubber itself contains and ingredient called Antiozonant. Antiozonant is an ingredient that helps to prevent the exterior rubber surface from cracking, checking, oxidizing, and deteriorating. The rubber is designed in such a way as to constantly work its way to the outside of the tire and as such, continually replenish the exterior surface with fresh antiozonant.

After the antiozonant works its way to the outside of the tire and is exposed to the ozone in the air, it turns brown. The technical term for this effect is blooming.

This is why you see a brown film on the surface your tires. You can wash your tires with soap or an all-purpose cleaner and remove this film, but in a few weeks, it's back. That's because the antiozonant continually works its way to the outside of the tires every time you drive your car.

To maintain your tires and keep them looking sharp with a deep, dark black color, Meguiar's offers six unique tire dressings that treat the rubber with Meguiar's own special conditioning agents as well as patented antiozonants that replenish your tires' original antiozonants and keep your tires looking blacker longer than generic tire dressings and protectants. Special polymers actually penetrate and cure to the surface to form a long lasting barrier-film that protects your tires from inclement weather and exposure to corrosive elements. These include:

Interesting info by SoldShort. Sounds logical on paper so to speak. I use Stoner's "More Shine, Less Time" tire spray that takes me all of 10 to 15 seconds per tire. Great stuff. Touchless, wide spray applicator makes treating your tires fast and easy. No complaints here.
