Tire Black

What kind of tire black do you all use? Is there any product that your crazy over?
I like Meguiar's. I'm currently using Black Magic Tire wet Gel. It doesn't do that great of a job. I like Meguiar's better. Although, now that Track Auto has gone out of business I can't find The Meguiar's any where.

Thanks

I have had just about all the different brands except for zaino and a few others. I keep going back to the meguiars purple tire gell (although i get tired of the fly off from this) for a high shine, Mothers Duration for a lower luster shine, Turtle Wax Tire Wax, for a shine that holds up untill it gets wet, But the best Meguiars purple tire paste. Endurance i think they call it. A lot of places stopped selling this, because it bonds to the tire and actually lasted too well. If you properly apply this stuff it will seriously last for over a month and shine for 3-4 weeks.

which meguiars are you looking for? the gel or the paste. Pep Boys has the gel, and the paste you can find at some targets.

I tried Eagle One, Armor All, Meguiars, and naturally Zaino. And (to no surprise) the Z stuff works best for me. The others are too greasy.

Sometimes I wish there was something better just so I didn't sound like a Zaino-addict... it's just good stuff. Also, the bottle is HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE... lasts a long time, and can be used on interior plastics

Yeah, I like the Meguiar's Endurance as well. It does seem to last much longer than the others I have tried. The shine is perfect too- not thick looking just black and shiny. Advanced Auto does not sell it (Trak Auto used to) but I will try Pep Boys.

fbird95, thanks for the tip- I'll try it. If PEP Boys doesn't have it I'll have to go on a road trip to get to an Auto Zone- but before I go, does Auto Zone stock it? (I'll get 2 or 3)

target is the only place i have ever seen to carry the meguiars paste. I think pep boys might be able to order it though. From what i understand it disapeared cause it worked a little too well, and lasted a little too long.
