Products for glossy tires?

What's the best product out there to enhance the tires, and make it glossy and shiny without the oil attracting dust and dirt?
Anyone tried Zaino's Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss?

Zaino works pretty good, is durable, and doesn't sling. The only problem I find is that it doesn't give you the extra glossy wet look which I prefer. For peeps that prefer the satin sheen, Zaino is perfect.

I recently purchased some tire shine made by Gliptone (purple liquid). This stuff is incredible! SUPER DUPER wet shine, gleaming and if you give a chance to sit for a lil bit, it doesn't really sling! Lasts for a long time and the shine is outrageous. The only downfall is price at about 12 bucks a bottle. I used to use black magic tire wet, but I found that always slung onto the car!

I use Meguiars Endurance High Gloss. Wipe it on with an applicator sponge. Let it sit about 10 minutes. Then wipe if off with a microfiber.

Note that with any of these tire treatments, you will want to wipe off any excess before driving. I believe there is something in the owners manual about a potential problem of "tire treatment sling" having adverse affects on the paint.

I don't think the Meguiars would cause any problems, but I figure better safe than sorry.

The meguiar's endurance will give a very wet gloss. But for any tire treatment, make sure you clean the tires thoroughly with a tire cleaner and a stiff brush. It will make any treatment look alot better. I've used alot of different tire treatments and the latest one, Meguiar's Hyper Dressing I've been very pleased with. It's been on my car for 1 month, 2 washes and still has the clean/satin look. Benefit of HD is that it's dilutable so if you want high gloss you just mix it with less water. I use a 1:2 HD to water ratio to get a decent shine on them. Spray and walk away and let it dry.



There's a recent car I just detailed. The dressing hasn't fully dried on the treads but it is dry on the tire wall. I've used NXT tire shine and wasn't too happy with it.

i use discount auto parts tire shine in an aerosol can. it is not high glossy which i don't like because IMHO your tires should NOT look shinier than your paint. it also doesn't sling off and you don't need to wipe it off. the aerosol tip is perfect for the sidewall of a 200-245 by 40-55 series tire.

the zaino z-16 tire shine is great- just apply multiple times for more shine. Make sure to wait until the first application dries.

It's when your tires rotation whips your goop onto your car (insert dirty remark of your choice here)

I bought some Meguiars NXT Insane tire shine this weekend, and was pretty impressed with it even though it was a few bucks more, it produced a very glossy look and no noticible sling. Also it has a defined fan spray pattern, versus the other pump or arisol sprays, so that you don't end up spraying on your fenders or your wheels.
