Default Tire Shine.

Every tire shine I have tried has wound up slining itself all over the side of my white paint. It looks terrible. I let it dry usually more than a few hours. Can anyone recommend a great tire shine that stays on the tire?

Another vote for Optimum Opti Bond Tire Gel! Optimum Tire Shine spray works really well too, I use that most of the time on my personal vehicles.

i used the armor all tire gel. it looks amazing, doesnt come off, and it keeps the tire nice and shiny after a few car washes!

I have a white car too and the sling was really aggrevating so i went to a gel, which does not sling off but it does hold onto everything. It stays pretty black but you can see all the **** that is stuck to your tires and after a while it just looks like theyre covered in dirty grease. The other day i went back to the spray, and when i got home from a cruise i had to clean crap off the side of my car, but my tires looked great.

Perfect tire gloss by Zaino! Non greasy, doesn't attract dust, UV protectant and wont sling like others and dries faster than a few hours...... LOL or and no tire browning silicone....smells great and lasts a long time...

I was at discount tire the other day, and one of the employees told me that tire shine eats away at the siding of your tires... Is this brand specific, or does the guy have no idea what he is talking about?

You have to watch the armor all. I use regularly but it WILL sling if you dont wait hours before driving it.
