How Expensive? And does it really give a good shine, or is it the dark matte type?

 

Pfffffft....

Yes it really last quite a while. I only put one coat on so it is a satan type finish because I don't like real shinny. If you put 2 or more coats on you can get it real shinny.

What is nice is after you have put it on there is no greasy feel and does not sling off. It also has anti-static in it so the dust is not attracted to it like some tire dressings.

$12.95!! I think it's a little expensive

Plus you have spelling errors.

Satan instead of Satin

Shinny instead of Shiney

just pulling you leg : D

Anyhow, I'll probably stick with something cheaper and shinier for now at least.

 

Sounds good to me, it's really what ever you're happy with...

 

For those of you who use the Eagle 1 tire swabs, do you use them on blackwalls or white letter tires? I ask this because I use them on me OWL's, but I can see where they turn them from a beautiful perfect white to a slightly dirty look after passing my gloss over them. This is despite having used Bleche white and lots of elbow grease I don't think I could possibly get them any cleaner. Also, I think these spray on wheel cleaners and tire shines are made for people on the left coast where it DOESN'T RAIN! I have yet to find one where you could just- SPRAY IT ON, like the instructions say and not have to scrub or wipe

 

I use the Eagle One swabs and have noticed the same however; keep this in mind, you're never going to get your tires prestine and that foam is EXCELLENT for removing the remaining grime.

I'm using mine on white lettered tires and have no problems whatsoever... heck, if it gets really dirty, I'll just chuck it and get out another one...

At $2/package, I don't struggle to use them.

I am not sure if we are talking about the same place of origin for the "dirt". I've noticed that a brand new one will still "smudge" the white letters just from pulling it off the other part of the tire as you wipe it over the white letters. Also, when it comes to reusing, I just throw them in the washing machine with my other cleaning towels afer I use them.

 

I was by the Eagle One website lastnight and they said you could just wash them like albow said.. Next time I get a chance to run down to pepboys or wherever I'll check the swipes out as well as the recommended tire dressings here.

Thanks for all the recommendations etc folks! I appreciate it

 

I just realized that I wasn't real clear about the "smuge" look. It causes my OWL'S to look like they have a dirty smudge, not the wipes themselves.

 

If you're getting a smuge look then more then likey it is because you're tires are not clean to begin with. You want to make sure they are good and clean so no smuge...

 

I use the Z-16 also. The best thing is that it doesn't attract dust like so many others. I even use it on my soft factory tonneau cover

 

Do you like the shinny tire look, or new tire not shinny look? That is one of the best things about Z-16 you can have either...

 

Iam a one coat kind of guy

 

Like me, not shiney...
