Best tire shine
For me the shinier the tire the better. I have tried several different tire dressing products. Most of them are pretty good. Longevity seems to be about the same. The oily silicone products seem to sling off and get on the side of the car so I avoid them. The milky products seem to be like ArmorAll. They work but nothing spectacular.
Jet aerosol is one of my favorites but cost a lot and doesn't go very far. It also drys completely and stays shinny for a long time.
I have even used clear lacquer on old hot rods. The problem here is it looks good until you try to drive on it. Then you have to remove it completely before you apply again.
I'm looking for a superior long lasting brilliant tire shine that does not sling off. I would like to hear what other people are using now.

Most of the original "shiny" products are loaded with silicones that can help "bloom" and "damage" a tire over time. It is best to use a tire product that is water-based and some tire dressings will add more gloss as a second application is added. There are also water-resistant dressings which might help in rainy areas.
I like Perls and Opti-coat as two well dressings which look good. They do need a second coat for a shiner appearance but last a week or more in most environments. Both can actually be diluted also as they are quite concentrated. Wolfgang and Pinnacle are others.

I love the Zaino Z-16. Doesn't sling and leaves the tire with a natural look not the shinny oily look that I don't like. I use it on all the rubber trim and hoses. My buddy uses it on his textured black plastic trim that some cars have. Looks great and lasts longer then other products I've used.

I like Zaino Z-16, I have tried Perl but when driving in the rain my tires turn brown.

I just bought a bottler of Turtle wax Platinum high gloss tire shine with wax to see if it was any good. It shines fairly well but oddly looses it shine in about two days even if you don't drive the car.

Search it on here and you will see it gets a lot of praise. If you can't find it locally order from Autogeek or a similar vendor.

If your willing to put some work in, this stuff is the best.
You can coat it multiple times to make it glossier.
And it lasts for months.

Hey, this got my attention! This may be what I'm looking for. It may be a while before I try it. I have about five bottles of various kinds of shine that I will use up first.
Kind of pricey but if it last a long time and is shiny it will be worth it.
Thanks
