Tire Shine

I dont know what the dealers use, but everytime I get my G back, the tires shine soo nicely and last for a long time.

I have used Black Magic, and Meguaires Tire shine, but I cant ever get them looking that wet or shiny. Any ideas what they use?

It's the left over Ester Oil from your $100 oil change

good one.

I use Zaino Z16 & love it.
Just enough gloss, lasts great & no slinging onto the paint.

I want to know as well, and if they even sell the stuff they use. Do dealers actually use Zaino?

That's some nice cheap commercial product though. I agree with the OP, I'm pretty impressed on what they use.

haha..never got a $100 oil change, but my G has been at the service 3 times in less than a year. I have owned hondas, mazda, toyota, and now I have been fortunate enough to upgrade to a luxury car and its given me the most problems.
1. clicking sound in front suspension in reverse and turning (fixed)
2. lost sound in left side of car (fixed)
3. burning plastic smell due to some sort of manufactured plastic left behind on bottom of car (dont really know what they meant by that one??)

But they did leave my tires nice and shiny...!

I personally use Poorboy's "Bold n Bright", I used to use Megs but I find that the Poorboys gives me a better shine for longer.
