Best Tyre Shine Products...
« on: 22 February 2012, 11:02 »
Right! I'm after a excellent quality tyre shine product for the new motor....I've always used some form of tyre shine but it's always been a cheapo and cus of that, it has never lasted long...

I want to invest in a good one, and one that leaves a great shiny finnish...

So what does everyone recommend?

Thanks...

Megs endurance gel or spray is good, carpro perl is good, zaino tyre gloss is good, AS highstyle is what I use on customers cars.

I use Turtle Wax wet look tyre gel, its cheap as chips, but looks really good and lasts a fair while too.  :smiley:

its good, lasts a while but its super shiny... just provides a very 'clean' natural black look... think more of a silk finish

I'v never understood doing this. IMO I would only use it if I had a show car in preparation for a show. After a 10mile journey your wheels will be dirty so I just don't get it...Does it work like wheel sealant as in it make your tyres easier to clean. I may get a small cheapo pot to try out... :sad:

if you're off to a show its worth having some... but i use it on every car i valet or detail as it does improve the overall look

personally i have never been a fan of mega shiny tyres but it pleases some.. I prefer a more natural, factory look
