Default Tire shine
Hey guys, I'm wondering what everyone thinks is the best tire shine product out there? I've gone through a couple different forums and couldn't really pin down a consensus pick and god knows I've wasted enough money trying to figure it out on my own.

Thanks for your opinions!

That is what I use, easy and no mess. Doesn't fly off your wheel and get all over your car, like those spray on wet look stuff.

I'm not a fan of the shiney wet look on my tires. I use Zaino Z16 perfect tire gloss, leaves a nice satin finish. I have also used Aerospace 303 protectant with good results.
Regards
Roy

It's great stuff Nice matte finish, nourishes the tires and isn't greasy.

Zaino Z16 is also an excellent product.

I USED to clean them and then silicon them. No more silicon for me. 303 is silicon free AND has a UV protectant .
