just go to Autozone or O'riellys and get the "No Tough" its cheap or the armor all one don't order stuff when you can just go to an auto parts store to get it. Thats just nonsense IMO. The guys up there at the auto parts store might now much about mustangs, but they know enough for the stuff they sell.

not in my experience...most of em are about as smart as a brick. u are right tho, just hit there or walmart up and get some tire shine stuff, when i do it i use the armor all stuff that u put on a foam applicator and wipe on and that seems to be the wettest looking stuff i have used, but with wet comes sticky so dust will stick if u dont let it dry good

I get the Meguries insane shine and the armor all liquid tire cleaner. first i use the armor all liquid tire cleaner and clean all tires. that usually gives em a nice look to begin with. then i go through and put a small, thing coat of the meguires insane shine on. i love the results

I found that if you scrub the living crap out of your tires with soap and water before spraying on tire shine it creates better results.
Pennical tire shine is expensive but it works amazing. you will probably have to order it online though.

Hyperdressing. It's water based so it's concentrated. A gallon of it can go a long way. I recommend using 1:1 for tires. 4:1 for everything else. It's one of the best dressings out there.

1-Gal Meguiar's Hyper Dressing

I used to use armor-all but I recently tried black magic and I like it alot more...in either spray foam or liquid with an applicator foam...Nice wet look that lasts for weeks with less greasyness

armor all with a foam pad like wljohnson said

and keep in mind, too much looks like shit, so be sure to wipe it off a little with an old sock or something if you apply too much so it doesn't look TOO shiny

Correct our VRT is NOT designed to be that super wet look. We can't stand it - drive 1 foot and it's now ended up all over your fender. Also be aware that the wet dressings are HEAVILY petroleum based which will strip the wax right off your fender and body panels. Not to great for wheels either.

VRT is a water based dressing, correct?

Westleys bleach white ftw. I don't like that shiny look. Deep black for me.
