Exclamation Tire Dressing?

Im about to head to Super Autobacs this afternoon and i wanted to see if anybody can recommend a good water or oil-based dressing that can deliever a great shine. Ive been using some cheap black magic tire gell and it looks like its so sticky that dust and rocks stick onto the tire. Any recommendations?!?!?

i hate armor all products. nothing but trouble for me in the past. i've used a number or their tire dressings, as well as other gel/foam/spray dressings. they all spit.

pick up any sort of liquid spray tire dressing and spray it onto a soft cloth. then just rub it into the tire. it won't spit back up at your panels.

Armor All....I wouldn't use that stuff on my lawnmower!

I used Armor All for years only because it was the only thing on the market
and what I used previously was tire paint or shoe polish. I use Meguiar's
Endurance high gloss, and yes it does "fling." To handle the issue of fling
I always apply it when I know my G won't be driven for several hours. It
does keep the tires looking great for weeks....

compared to the stuff you can get an any local auto parts store.

Armor All tire shine (the one I posted) is best of them all.


I does not give you that cheap wet shine that you get with mothers,or Eagle one.

Great stuff.

But then why would you wanna spend big $ for something that you gonna put on your tires in the first place.

Orly and Gee35x you guys should give that gel a try before speaking so negatively about it.

Turtle waxes was not much to look at lately. But with their latest ICE products. They really stepped up their game.

Once again it's not the best thing on the shelf, but it aint bad either.

i've used that exact product before. tried it back when it first came out. i used the entire bottle to avoid wasting my money, but i quickly grew tired of having to wipe down all the spit on my panels.
