Best Tire Wet????

[sdime98]

whats the best tire dresser to give you the wettest, glossiest, shiniest tires??

[bornestar]

I have some Armoral Detailers Advantage.. pretty good stuff

[cold_s10]

I swear by black magic tire wet and it is pretty cheap too.

[sdime98]

i was hopin someone would say black magic thats what i was shootin for

[Got-20z]

yea i think thts what i use
u can buy it at the dollar general stores around here for like 2.50 a bottle:thumbup:

[98SS]

I like Black Magic, as well as Armor All Tire Wet. But damn, I'd only use that if I was parked at a show only. That chit takes forever to dry enough to not sling up onto the body of the truck. If I'm gonna drive ANYtime soon, I use the Black Magic Foam. It darkens/cleans nicely and dries a lot quicker without the excessive wet residue to sling up on your truck.

[sdime98]

yea we have a good supply of armor all here...i hate how it likes to sling, and then on top of that....soon as it gets in rain...it washes off, i just want somethin that looks good and glossy as all hell....prolly gonna go pick up some black magic in the morn....

Black Magic Tire Wet in the black & white spray can. I always prefer the look of shiny and deep black. To protect the wheels from the excess spray, I use a product named Wheel Shield (www.amshield.com).

[bill 4.3l 5spd]

i use the gell, cant remember what brand right now tho....havent seen my truck in 5 months to use it :-(
damn winter time

[zq8fromhell]

i use that meguiars hot shine or whatever its called, my tires were still shiny after driving through the rain. JUST MY OPINION

[Fry98]

I use the Black Magic, too...it's also good for spraying the inner fender liners on my truck. Cleans the plastic and makes it shiny, and I hit the shock boots with it, too. Seeing as though there's a foot of space between the top of the tire and flare, I gotta make it look good in there.

[reams6100]

meguiar's hot shine. also if you have the real hard-ass plastic that doesn't like the silicone type shiners, try WD-40 (carefully)

black magic...its sweet yo

[LarryD.]

meguiar's hot shine is the best IMHO

[SS SDIME]

wow am i the only one that hates shiny ass tires, i like the way they look when there brand new, clean black i hate when they look like someone took a piss on them. i use genaric tire shine put it on and wipe it off just to clean the tires and get that new rubber look again

[sdime98]

well i made this thread for the fact that i'm gonna be in a car show next weekend...and i want to impress, so i think the wet loook would do well with the judges

[2LW2TW]

I only use the Black Magic in the Black and White aerosol can as well. I've tried a couple of other products but seem to like this one the best. Lasts a while too. Highly recommend it.

I totally agree, too much tire shine looks really sloppy. Very clean and better than new looking is much nicer than the dripping wet look.

[BLAZ1N]

i would reccomend using anything but armorall and turtle wax products

the all suck

but the best way to get a really good shine is to pour it into a cotton wax applicator pad, and rub the pad onto the tires, then wipe it off with a terry cloth, then put it on again, then wipe it off again....do it a few times....it takes a while...but it will soak in better and look pimpin

[reams6100]

BTW, good luck Sdime98

Heh thats a pretty interesting product to protect your rims. I think I'm gonna rig something like that when the weather gets nicer, maybe fashion something out of a hard plastic, should be pretty cheap and easy.

And I'm also a Black Magic user.

[Fry98]

FWIW, a couple of my friends and I use the black plastic discs that come on new Hondas when they arrive at the dealership. I guess they're to protect the rims during transport. They usually have a stack of them behind the detail shop and will let you have them. They even have little "finger holes" in the middle where the lugs would be.

[supersonoma]

clean your tires and spray them with a good clear coat

use this on my dirtbike works great

If you want the best tire gel on the market, go with Meguiar's Gold Class High Endurance Gloss Tire Gel. Apply it with a foam applicator and then lightly wipe it off. This is the absolutely best tire gel on the market. You can find it at Pep Boy's, but I order all my detailing stuff off of www.meguiars.com. It is a purple gel and smells like grapes. About @10 a bottle but a bottle lasted me all last summer and I detail cars and trucks on the side. Check it out!

ditto, WAY cheaper than armor all! i got a 1 litre bottle for like $16.95, its going to last forever haha.

also i really recommend getting those little concave sponges they sell with their starter kits, you simply pour a little on the sponge and then wipe it onto the tires, you can use alot less than it usually takes to get the wet look from just squirting it on or spraying it on a rag

[buddubxtreme]

i gotta say the best and the only best:::::: is.........:::::: BLACK MAGIC TIRE WET

Yep, this is the stuff. I have tried almost everything there is, and the liquid sprays that many of you are talking about don't even come close to the meguiars stuff. It doesn't spin off, even if you drive just a few minutes after you apply it. IT lasts through rain, and give a very even and clean shine. Best stuff i have used.

I have to agree on this too. Meguires Gold Class High Endurance is the BEST!! Only thing I use now!

[jsin]

i was a detailer at the dealership i work at for about 4 years. i wasn't satisfied with any of the stuff i ever used when detailing until i found this turtle wax tire wax. i know, i know. i've never had any luck with any turtle wax product, but a friend told me it was cheap so he bought it and liked it. i bought a bottle of it and it was less than 5 bucks. it actually works pretty good. it comes with an applicator pad and everything. i never used any kind of spray shine cause i don't want it all over my wheels and body. the wax and gels are the best stuff by far. i've heard the meguires is really good too. if you guys ever see the turtle wax-tire wax, check it out.

[blackedoutx]

I swore by black magic tire wet spray forever until I found out that Zaino Bros made a tire cleaner/detailer. Balck Magic always comes off and makes your paint look like battered dog shit after awhile. Zaino Bros tire stuff can be bought through zainostore.com for $12.95 a bottle. I know it sounds a bit pricey but it will last you well over a year with once a week use. It doesn't take much to do your tires. You put this stuff on, let it dry for about an hour and then repeat as many times as you would like for optimal shine. This stuff makes the tires look great, it repels dust and grit and it DOES NOT COME OFF at all. The rain will eventually wear it down but it will shine through minimal rain and a couple of carwashes. It's the best I have found.

[zY]

Duh! Is this even a decision? Black Magic Tire Wet because it smells focking awesome. I don't use it anymore but I have a bottle of it and i spray it in the garage every now and then just to catch a few whiffs of it. Heh, love that shit.

[s10hiatt]

yes black magic I just got new tires and it looks even better but if you dont let it dry it will be all over your truck. The shine last a long time
