Tire Shine

87FloridaGT · April 23rd, 2009, 08:58 PM

Does anyone else REALLY hate it when you shine your tires with Armorall or other stuff and then when you drive the car the stuff gets all over the car and leaves spots...so then you have to wipe the car down again

Who has the remedy for this?? (other than not putting stuff on your tires)

I hate tire shines that leave my tires really wet looking because they attract dust and make my tires look brown. I use interior stuff on my wheels because it makes them look good but doesn't leave that sticky residue.

I think its Meguires interior detail , or something along those lines

People will get their cars detailed then come get a oil change rotate balance and its like WTF theyre so hard to freaking hold and they get all dirty and complain im like well that sucks... for you

Let it sit for a couple hours before you drive it and it won't come off all over the car. Try to apply it when your going in to work/ school/ or the house for the night and let it soak in for a long period.

I have tried doing this and it still didnt work for me...I have also tried wiping the excess stuff off the tires and that didnt work either

97S281 · April 23rd, 2009, 09:36 PM

Damn, it works for me...

f8youthmidman · April 23rd, 2009, 09:39 PM

I put an s load on there so it's nice and shiny, and let it sit for 15-20 mins then go with a towel and dab off the whole outer side of the tire. And then before I go driving, I go for another round with the towel.

Works for me! I used to hate all the spots on the car

N29468 · April 23rd, 2009, 09:53 PM

works for me too! I do it and let it sit for an hour.

06RedfireGT · April 23rd, 2009, 09:54 PM

I use a foam that really doesn't leave excess, but with the liquid, I will wash it and dry it, apply the tire shine, then pull it into the garage and just let it sit for a while and go wipe the tires down with a rag. Usually doesn't fling onto the car that way.

I use Zaino tire shine, and interior. It's not oil based, and I've never had any issues with it or any residue in the interior.

MamaStang · April 23rd, 2009, 10:22 PM

Red what foam do you use?

fdjizm · April 23rd, 2009, 10:36 PM

i use armor all extreme tire gell, it really sticks and it's nice and shiny

and doesnt fly around because it's thick.

I forgot to mention in my last post that i use Armor all tire foam and it works perfect.

HotApple · April 23rd, 2009, 10:58 PM

Like said above, gel is the way to go. I use the eagle one tire gel in the gray bottle. Spray some on a towel or sponge and wipe it on.

Cricket · April 23rd, 2009, 11:15 PM

Zaino is the way to go...even smells good.

Thumbie · April 23rd, 2009, 11:24 PM

Armor All spray on touch free. wait 5 min then DAB excess off. wait another five your all good, and I have wider rims to

Notcho · April 23rd, 2009, 11:31 PM

I just use regular armor-all in a pump spray bottle. Spray it on the tire, then wipe it with a rag. The tire doesn't look like its been painted with clear coat, but it looks nice and black.
