For all of us with LOW pro tires and everyone else..... [armor all review]

***HAWK*** · 06-13-2005, 03:18 AM

this is one thing i hate doing..... i hate having to put armor all on the those little 40 series tires and stuff cuz the foam gets all over the rim or those big spray bottles too....... and you have to clean the rim forever to get it off cuz the foam just smears all over it or the spray goes everywhere...... but i finally found the stuff that works awesome for those little tires......

http://www.armorall.com/prodcat/page...hine_aero.html

this stuff works wonders. i give it 2

way up! i can get some pics tomorrow if you want...... my tires are very shiney black and it doesnt kick up all over the place.... i highly suggest trying this stuff out

the aerosol can makes it very easy to get just on the tire and not your rim.

96blazer · 06-13-2005, 05:03 AM

You could cut out a "rim sheild: from a cardboard box to keep off the overspray.

***HAWK*** · 06-13-2005, 05:06 AM

i tried. but im retarted at making circles so it still got on my wheel... lol or i cut it too big in certain spots and it covered the tire. haha

Nate01Xtreme · 06-13-2005, 08:29 AM

Get a gel that you put on a foam applicator pad. Of course you are going to get shit on your wheels when you are using a spray.

scrubz · 06-13-2005, 10:17 AM

I'ma hafta buy some of this stuff. That cardboard idea is pretty sweet but I never thought about it. Now I don't have to worry about it anyways

i have that too, the black magic? tried it..... it works but sometimes none comes out or too much comes out and it wont go on even for me..... oh well

gregoneck · 06-13-2005, 03:02 PM

put it on with a rag. no more overspray.

dropped1 · 06-13-2005, 03:56 PM

I use a sponge...and my chemical bros. tire dressing.

***orangesonoma*** · 06-13-2005, 04:02 PM

yeah i have been using a sponge thing for years to apply tire dressing

LowTech · 06-13-2005, 05:25 PM

Spraying on a rag is always good...I hate all the gells though....after a few uses it bulids up and has to be all taken off to look right

***HAWK*** · 06-14-2005, 12:57 AM

yea ive been using the rag on tire since i got my wheels... but this is nice to just spray and walk away. lol

Zq8Sonoma01 · 06-14-2005, 01:09 AM

Wal-mart has an Eagle 1 tire shine applicators for $2. I don`t have any probs??

thats exactly what i did. built a handle right in the middle to so i have something to hold on to.
works great, and it cost me nothing

Got-20z · 06-14-2005, 02:35 AM

i just spray a rag really good and get it wet then wipe it on

IceDime · 06-14-2005, 03:12 AM

guys try using new clean motor oil. Do it once a week when you clean your wheels and after 3 or 4 weeks you wont have to do it but maybe once a month. The oil repels all water and crap and stays looking wet and shiney all the time. This is a tip I learned from an auto detailer.

***HAWK*** · 06-14-2005, 03:59 AM

weird..... might have to try it

Nate01Xtreme · 06-14-2005, 02:10 PM

Wouldn't the oil just fling all over the place when driving?

* fling * ? isn't that what you do with boogers?

whitedime · 06-19-2005, 02:43 PM

why not just get one of those tire wipes

IceDime · 06-19-2005, 02:48 PM

nope, first of all you arent going to put enough to do that on the tire. second the rubber will absorb some of the oil, thats why it stays shiny and glossy even if it rains.

EvenFlow · 06-19-2005, 09:42 PM

Is any weight better or worse? I would assume go with a thinner oil so it could soak in better but I've never heard of this before. Worth a shot though.

comics22 · 06-20-2005, 12:23 AM

huh ill have to try that on my stockers when it gets arounnd winter. for now i use my meguires tire spray and a round piece of uhh the stuff you put in bathrooms that is water proof ,plastic, with a bolt through the center for a handle. since its plastic i can re use it over and over and wont have to worry about soggy cardboard.

slammedxtreme03 · 06-25-2005, 01:19 AM

anyone try the oil trick?? Sounds too good to be true!

boogi man · 06-25-2005, 01:25 AM

petro based products are not recommended for real rubber as they usually attack natural rubber products (kinda like using certain petro based lubes with certain latex products).

03 S10 eXtreme · 06-25-2005, 08:25 AM

i have a good spray for tires, well i like it, im sure it'll do good with low pro's too, you can adjust the knob for small medium or large tires

bg's · 06-25-2005, 09:56 PM

Guy up at Autozone was telling me he uses a rag with a small amount of brake fluid to cut
the crap and buildup on his tires. Never tried it myself.

oxsign · 06-25-2005, 09:59 PM

Brake fluid will dry out the tire over time, it looks good though.

comics22 · 06-25-2005, 10:30 PM

hmm well it looks like were stuck with tire shine

unless you really hate your tires

IceDime · 06-26-2005, 02:28 AM

omg why dont you guys just grow some balls and try the oil trick? I have been doing it forever, I get more wear off my tires from camber than anything else. Why do they have rubber gaskets where oil comes in contact with them then? Its safe rubber + oil, why would there be a problem.

Brake fluid is rediculously corrosive, I wouldnt use it on anything but in my brake master cylinder.
