Re: best tire shine?
I had a bottle of Armor All from about a year ago that I'd been using and it would be shiny for about a day or two. I just ran out and bought a new bottle of tire foam from them and it's amazing (maybe they changed the formula or the fact that it's not old, who knows).
Almost 2 weeks later and they are still shiny (not super shiny, but still shiny) and my car is completely dirty. It's also rained really hard here so it seems to be holding up. I would say the really noticable shine lasted about 3-4 days, which is still impressive because my car was dirty again by that point.
It's just can of foam from them (Armor All) and maybe it says Ultimate or something on it, it was about 3-4 dollars.

Re: best tire shine?
I use Black Magic Tire Wet. They make it in a Spray and Gel. I prefer the gel b/c it's easier to apply (buy a foam applicator). It gives the tires a very rich, super duper shine. The only problem is that you will get some sling off onto the car after the first drive, but if you let it bake in the sun for 30 minutes or more, it will decrease the tire sling. It wipes off the car easy with a little spray detailer!

Re: best tire shine?
I got a bottle of Zaino tire gloss several years ago. It seem to work fine (haven't kept track of how long the shine lasts, although it's more than a few days). I'm not sure how good it is compared to others though.

Re: best tire shine?
Zainos gets my vote.
Ive used Black Magic, Eagle One, foam sprays etc...and have chosen to stick with Zainos for a few reasons:
-Absolutely NO tire sling. Put it on and drive away. No need to wait for it to dry. If you like the wetter look, two coats is recommended
-Lasts pasts a few washes. I wash my car weekly and only apply it once for every 2 or so washes.
-Does not leave ANY build up what so ever. Gives the tire a nice dark black shiny sheen. "like from the dealer".
I used to use the "other stuff" and eventually would have to scrub down the brown road grime build up the wetter products would pick up.
Can you tell im a fan? [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
