I have to say I just started using Stoners tire dressing since they sent me there 12 pack case free and it is a great product. But I only used it on my car, for my truck I use Hyper dressing and thats what you`re probably going to hear from most of the people here.

McGuire's Extreme shine in the spray can.. I love it.. allthough i love super shiny tires. and used the old black magic all the time.

I switched to the McGuire's Extreme shine it sprays on like your painting the tire.. you dont have to wipe it so its super glossy. and the BEST part it DOES NOT sling off the tires..

I've used the Hyper dressing, and it gets slung all over the side of my truck. The Black Magic stuff is the best that I've used.

Then you aren't using it correctly.

Ok, your right. It's not Hyper Dressing, it's Hot Shine. But the Black Magic stuff didn't sling at all compared to the Hot Shine.

Hot Shine doesn't sling if you remove the excess and buff it in.........but then it won't be "glossy". ANYTHING that makes the tire look "wet" is going to sling.

i used mcguires in the aerosol and the trigger sprayer, it slings off. also used black magic spray, it slings off but not as much. now i use black magic titanium gel. it slung once but not after that one time. i think the trick is to scrub your tires with a wheel scrubber. that way the shine goes right ON the tire instead of going on old greasy grime from the road. the grime is not attached so i think that is where the slinging comes in. i have a pic of mine with my tire shine on it on my cell phone but cant send the picture to me email to post it, very low signal at my house. but also the gel lasts longer. 2 coats of the sprays last like a week or so if it doesnt rain. once it rain and you drive thru it, its gone. the gel stays on for about 2 weeks dry and if it rains, it loses is gloss but still has the matte black look to it. even after driving 10 miles in a downpour it doesnt come completely off. i think the gel is the way to go.

Application error.


If it slings you are either using too much at a too high of a ratio or spraying it on and just driving off and not waiting for it to dry.

Just my .02 on it.
