Post What's the best tire shine?

Right now I'm using some Simoniz gel stuff, but it sprays back onto the quarter panels a little bit. What will give me the wettest look without and spraying off?

I use Meguiars High gloss endurance gel. Works great, minimal spray off if you let it dry for a while first.


p.s. I think it smells like grape, not blueberries.

I have to agree w/ Meguiars, doesn't look too shiny and stays black the longest amount of time.

Smells like grape medicine...

I don't like the gel though...after applying it I get that black tire crap all over my hands...maybe a different applicator, not Meguiars would work better

I've been using Meguires for a year now and I'm not really happy with it. It still sprays my quarter panels and fenders. I'm just too lazy to get up and get Mothers, which I heard doesn't spray.

I use Armor All tire foam alot. It's good if the tire isn't clean. You spray this stuff on and wipe it off later and it cleans and leaves a nice shine. It is a bit messy though. The Meguire's stuff works pretty well too and isn't as messy but it's better if the tire is clean before you put it on. That's been my experience.
