i was waiting to see if anyone else liked this stuff. i will not use anything else. i have used black magic, and it was crap in my opinion. yea its shiney, way to shiney, looks cheap. i prefer a satin black look, not a clear coated tire look.

The stuff I use is from the dealership I work at, and I'm pretty sure its called Luster Shine. It's solvent based, And works amazing!

Apply it in thin, even layers.

Personally haven't seen anything better looking or longer lasting yet.
x2, thats all that I use. Two coats of it and you get a nice shine that lasts for 2-3 weeks.

I dont like the stuff thats so shiney it makes your tires look clearcoated

I swear by Dupont Teflon tire dressing . Its got the perfect shine , it doesnt build up and it lasts quite awhile .

I prefer using a good quality tire brush and soap to thoroughly clean my tires. I don't really like the "wet" look. Most of my clients love it, so in that case I use a very very light amount of megs tire gel.

I like the Endurance Gel... because you can do just one coat and it's not SUPER shiny!!! I like it to look black not overly glossy!

I've used Eagle One's tire shine for about 7 years now, and love it. I freaked out when the changed the label on the bottle no too long ago fearing it went away!

I used the Dupont Teflon stuff once and gave the bottle to my Uncle. I wasn't too impressed with it's results.

It seems to me that the gel's have a tendency to cause buildup on the tires ive used it on in the past . Ive got a bunch of different stuff and always seem to grab the B/M tire wet.

i doubt ne one has heard of the stuff i use. but it is called jax-wax. there tire dressing is insane. it comes in a clear spray bottle and is blue. i spary it on a applacator pad and apply to my tires. it is very dark and dont leave the tires brown when it wears off and it dont build up eather. if you put two coats it will be very shiney for the people that like that look. i used to use the mequires gel as posted above but found that to kill my soap suds when washing my car. it would even stay in my burshes after i washed them out and kill my new bucket of soap next time i used them

I'm using meg's hotshine in spray form, looks great, even through rain and washing it a cpl times. It is a bit messy though, I'm gonna get some gel when it runs out.

I have tried two kinds: turtle wax platnium series, Armor All Extreme tire shine.. they are both pretty close to each other performance wise.. I would prolly take the turtle wax but it is more expensive.. I posted some pics recently
