I voted yes. I only use it once in awhile when I know its not going to rain for a week or two. Or if I'm going cruising or to a car show.

I use meguairs tire gel. It stays on for atleast a week, I love the stuff. Not really a fan of just tire shines because as soon as they wear-off its dirty dirty brown rubber

I did use the Mequiar's Tire gel at one time, espescially at the shows. Can't beat the shine. Only problem is that when you drive down the road (depending on the tire's sidewall grooves, the gel flings out onto the side of your car). I now use the Meguiar's Tire Spray with the adjustable nozzle. Clean your tires with Fantastic and you won't have to worry about that brown color.

The best stuff I've found to use, except its REALLY slick.

The stuff is called Pro-Shine. I think it may only be for commercial use, but it works great.

I have no problems with it as long as I let it dry for long enough...usually 15 - 20 minutes does the trick and take an old rag and wipe it lightly around the tire to get off excess

I use Stoner's More shine less time. My dad swears by it and I use it because I spray it on my Jeep's tires too... when you have almost 3 feet of tire to spray and aggressive sidewall treads you don't want to be messing around with stuff that you wipe on. I may try this Meguiars stuff that I just got as a gift... never used it before because it was a wipe on type but will try it on the 'balt

i used to use the black magic foam. its ok. didnt seem to last too long though. my friend uses the black magic gel. that seems great! i just started using the NXT spray. not so happy with it. it stays glossy, but its got a kinda tacky look.
