Default Whats the preferred tire dressing?

What do most of you use to keep the tires looking good on your Z's? I know armor-all is crap and actually hurts the rubber. Whats a good product that doesn't make the tires look too wet black but doesn't dry out the sidewalls?

I use Meguiar's. It lasts longer and doesn't make the tires brown when it expires.

Sounds like Zaino's tire dressing is exactly what you're looking for. I just wish it looked a bit more wet, as I like the wet look. Any product that accompolishes this though seems to come with a lot of splatter. Zaino has none.

meguiar's has the best dressing on the market and is really what you want to use.

but before dressing your tires with meguiar's, use meguiar's NXT on your paint finish.

you will have the best looking vehicle on the forum. well, almost!




:cheers:

I already do use NXT for the paint, very happy with it. Will try their tire dressing now too.

I also like Meguiars Hot Shine. Aerosol can. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/rodi/mehiglhotsht.html

Got a little adjustable nozzle for low profile spraying. :) heh

Endurance gel lasts forever, but I don't like spending the time to apply it.

Stupid question, but doesn't the spray kinda fly, like all over the rims etc?? Or is it that directional?

It's directional and narrow on the low profile setting. Plus you learn how close to be and the "finesse" of doing it. :)
