I use the "advanced autoparts" version of the spray "black magic". It lasts for ~4 days and looks real wet.

IMO ALL those products will turn the tires brown over time, I keep mine looking great by just cleaning them good, my G tires have never seen a tire shine of any kind, and still look great after almost a year!

Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss
Ive been using this for about a year now. Ive missed applications and the tires have NEVER gotten brown (like they use too with other products).
This doesnt give the tire a very wet wet look but a nice glossed dark black look. You also dont have to worry about kick back with this. I use to use Eagle One WET tire shine and you'd have to wait for it to dry or you would get the splatter affect on the paint.

I will never go back to the other tire shine products.
This is just my opinion but I think this is the best around for the not too shiny dressings.

Good luck!

Try Meguiars Gold Class Tire Gel. You use an applicator to apply thus their is no runs. Also it last weeks not days, plus you control the amount of shine you want. I've tried a number of products and this seems to be the best!

No browning of the tires too.

fyi - A simple way to test a good product is to see if your tires bead water after application, with Meguiars it does...

Hope this helps.

Re: what do u use for tires

Meguires has this tire shine spray that I bought and used today at AutoZone. Works great, spray on and that's it.. no wait. It's 4 dollars. I think it's called Hot Tire Shine.

Thanks - Joey Avino
