Tire Shine
Somebody told me that tire shine is bad for your tires? I don't think it is, the company would place some kind of warning on the container.

i think they were trying to tell you that armorall is bad on your interior?? It contains alcohol to evaperate without leaving streaks, the problem is it takes all the moisture out of the material and makes it crack overtime.

And besides....It's not like you keep tires for the life of your car. I have used some tire shine that contained acrylic and it turned some of the plastic trim on our Blazer white. Needless to say I haven't used it anymore.

Tire shine is a ‘Generic Term” just like, Shampoo, or even Gasoline, the term Tire Shine is used with the “assumption” that it will shine your tires, nothing more nothing less and that is how some manufactors mislead the consumers, just because it says Tire Shine doesn’t mean that the product will indeed protect your tires if they “shine” the manufactor has done their job.
A common characteristic of “inexpensive tire shine products” in the market is the unusually high content of solvents in the product. High content solvent products will give a quick shine, that is true, but this will not last and through prolonged use it will damage the surface. Another example is that product you guys mention for plastic.
A good tire care product should be a non sling formula and should prevent premature sidewall dry rot and cracking, a good example for this situation are the RVs, most of them are park for the summer, many of them you see on jack stands and if you have been around them you will see that they even have covers for the tires, the primary reason is to avoid “premature sidewall cracking”
Just like Bronzee suggests
“All the good quality products have conditioning agents in them, so will actually protect the sidewall of your tyres (tires)’
Don’t just settle for a Tire Shine product, yes, we all want our tires to shine but you want to protect them.
I hope that helps

I know race cars dont use it so that they wont loose any traction but other than that there is nothing bad about tire shine. Unless you have a lot on there and have to change a flat or something because that stuff holds brake dust and makes a mess. Put some gloves in your car incase.
