Best Spray Tire Dressing? What are Y'all Using?
 
Well I have become a Meguiars guy after I tried a whole bunch of their products over the summer. Well my parents bought me a detailing "kit" if that's what you wanna call it :lol: it was a Armor-All bag with a few of their products, don't get me wrong Armor-All is alright products but nothing like Meguiars !!!! I have been using the Tire Dressing Gel from Armor-All it is supposed to be their longest lasting Tire Dressing, But it lasts all of a day or two. So my question is what is a good Tire Dressing ? Preferably a Spray because my experience (only with the above product) with gel dressing is that its a CHORE !! So what do Y'all Use ?

The best non hyperdressing product I have used is Meg's natural shine. I would try supreme shine for even more gloss

I use the Megs Tire Shine. I spray it on and wipe it off pretty quickly as I prefer the dull black look, very little shine.

i just picked this up yesterday:

its a little thinner than the ArmorAll Gel so I can get it in the letters easier but I can see spin-off lines so another coat took care of that. $8.99 at VatoZone.

Raptor have you used it yet ? How does it work ?

ELVATO Dec 28, 2009 09:44 PM

You put it on a swipe (the Eagle1 swipes they have at Autozone for a dollar or two work real well) and spread it around.

I like the Megs Hot Shine Tire Foam. Works pretty well, and doesn't sling much, if at all.

I paid 50 bucks for mine and still have about a quarter of the gallon left and i got it a year ago just think how much you will spend on over the counter tire shine for a year.

Raptor05121 Dec 28, 2009 10:45 PM

yeah i need to get it...BaD

Carolinaboy32 Dec 28, 2009 10:51 PM

I used Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Gel once, and only once. It looked good for about 15 minutes but it was so greasy the dust stuck to it fast.

I always use Meguiars Hot Shine High Gloss or Meguiars Tire Foam. Seems to be the best stuff I can find that I like.

Yes it's amazing. Great for tires, wheels (if black), wheel wells, trim if you want, interior, engine bay, etc.

You can dilute it 5:1 and it still has a good black shine to it. I usually do 2:1 for my wheels and tires, so essentially I'm getting 2 gallons of product for the price of the concentrated gallon. If you like a matte black finish you can go 4:1 and essentially get four gallons for the price of one.

Best part is that it's water based, so it doesn't leave any sticky residue behind. It cleans off very well. All my previous experience with gel-type tire shines have left that nasty brown build-up after a while.


For OTC I like their tire foam spray. Least greasiest product I've found for OTC tire shines.

HD is cheaper than anything else out there if you're mixing it 4:1 like I do. If you don't want to get a full gallon you can go to ADS.

Auto Detailing Solutions (Hyperdressing)

You can buy a 32oz concentrate sampler. So for $10 mixed 4:1 you get 4 x 32oz bottles of hyperdressing. That's dirt cheap man. Will also come with a niffty Meg's pro HD bottle and sprayer.:eek:
