As I've used several projects now w/about the same results, has anyone had better luck w/a tire dressing product that flicks off the least on the vehicle...?

I will say that the Silicon Gell based products are the wost - it not only gets all over my car, but it's very hard to remove and it also yellow stains the clear bra. The spray-on type, although get all over the car also, comes off much easier and does not stain the clear-bra.

Suggestions..?

 

I have had really good luck with Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Gel. I apply to all tires first and then wipe again to remove any excess. It does not flick off at all plus after I wipe the second time my tires look "new shiny" not ultra glossy which is what I prefer.

I do not like the sprays because I always seem to get as much on the wheels as I do on the tires.

 

I get a sponge and apply the dressing to the sponge then to the tires. This way you can control where it goes and how much is applied.

 

Rich...try out Zaino (Z16) Tire gloss. One of the fellows on the board recommeded it to me and it works great. I used to use Meguiars Endurance, but I prefer this dressing now. Just apply it with a sponge or cloth and it leaves a satin like gloss finish that seems to last.
I actually just applied it to the weatherstripping on the car since it is non-greasy, I usually apply silicone spray to the weatherstripping for the winter , but I thought I would give it a try.

 

Wayne,

Is this something that I can get at like "AutoZone" or is this order only..?

....man has it been cold here lately - a few more weeks and it's Snowboardng time, and time to try out the AWD..

 

I use the Meguiars as well for all 3 of the cars I'e had. No problems.

 

I believe you would have to order it on line Rich. Check here:

Yup I'm looking forward to the putting the awd to use myself .

 

Thanks for the info, never heard of these products - ordered it up w/a few other goodies

 

Wheel Wax makes some that IMHO is the best out there. Dosn't fling off not greasy looking, gives the tires the "brand new" look.

 

SoCalTed turned my on to some stuff called Blue Ice (I'm pretty sure that's the name). It is a gel but goes on and stays on! No "flicking off". It looks GREAT and last a long time!

I think it's internet order only - you might want to PM SoCalTed if you are interested in the stuff - he can tell you how to get it.

 

The stuff I have found that works best, lasts forever, and doesn't fly off is the Stoners More Shine Less Time.

 

+1

 

What he said. I've tried a bunch and I always go back to MSLT - it leaves a nice finish, is a spray on walk away product, and doesn's sling.

 

AA or Eagle 1 Trim Shine.

Any dressing will sling off if you apply too much, and if you don't buff it in. Try applying with an Eagle 1 Tire Swipe then once you're done use another dry swipe to buff it.

 

Zaino's Perfect Tire Gloss (Z16) is the only one ive found that doesnt leave a build up and has to eventually be wash/rubbed off due to road grim sticking to the tire. It also keeps the tires from "browning" after constant use.

I wouldn't use anything else. IMHO its the best.
