FINALLY a tire shine that doesnt sling!! PICS!

Scimitar335i · 03-19-2009, 07:22 PM

Finally found a tire shine that doesnt sling. I have tried all the gels, foam sprays, that crap that comes with the foam sponges, everything but FINALLY I tried something I had in my detailing aresenal for a long time and it works great! Its the Armor All Detailers Advantage Protectant for interior, vinyl, rubber, etc...

Its nmot an over the top shine but it last a long time! Before I would put on tire shine and let it sit in the sun for a while and after a driver I would be wiping it off my rear bumper and doors but this stuff does not sling! A+!!!

Application was done with a Eagle tire shine contoured applicator

BlueSander · 03-19-2009, 10:52 PM

Have you tried Swissvax yet? I love their tire dressing.

-Here you go. I usually get it at my local autozone for 4.99 a bottle. I also use it for my interior, black molding on my old 325i, and other black parts on the 335i. Target sometimes has it too ..

haha thanks dude. I love these wheels. I wanted to stay 18'' but wanted to differentiate myself from the crowd. So far I have gotten quite a few compliments from them. Even from the guys at the dealer!!!

your tires look great and most prefer a real shiny/glossy tire but i prefer Stoner "MSLT".

it sprays on and leaves a nice sheen which i prefer to a real shiny tire.
and nothing to sling.

BK · 03-20-2009, 09:20 AM

Zaino Z-16 doesn't sling and looks great (not too shiny) IMO.

+1 - the Zaino works great and doesn't sling off!

nick6753 · 03-20-2009, 12:46 PM

Nice, I'll have to try it. I don't use tire shine because of the sling, but if this works, I'll give it a shot. Nice results.

ChaneRZ · 03-20-2009, 01:56 PM

ArmorALL Extreme Tire Shine Gel is the bomb!

dr.jay · 03-20-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm a big fan of CG Silk Shine, make my tires look brand new

JaysBlueE92 · 03-21-2009, 09:18 AM

Agreed, I prefer MSLT too.

Though I would like to try some Pneu...

m2kev · 03-21-2009, 10:30 AM

I said this a while back ago in a similar thread. I been using this for a while now, gives a good gloss and does not sling, just wipe on with one towel then throw away.

ScheerSpeed · 03-21-2009, 04:35 PM

the key to a tire shine that doesnt sling is:

do not buy a 99 cent bottle of tire shine. you get what you pay for.

Swissvax Pneu or Optimum tire gel is the way to go.

Kgolf31 · 03-21-2009, 04:47 PM

Armor All?

That stuff has a high concentration of silicone-based ingredients that over time can turn your tires brown, and maybe even end up some cracking

E92AXM · 03-21-2009, 04:48 PM

I use chemical guys Extreme VRP and I love it! Doesn't sling what so ever even if the tires get wet from rain etc . And you don't have to use much at all dime size drop can get me through 2 tires . Leaves a perfect semi gloss/matte finish.

purplewidow · 03-21-2009, 06:26 PM

swissvax pneu is the best by far!!! it is so easy to remove if you get any on the wheels.. one bottle lasts for more than 10 washes.. probably 15-20.. a lil goes a long way!! the stuff is just amazing!!
