Hello,
I'm sure this has been discussed previously somewhere, but I am looking for the best tire spray. One that doesnt "splatter" on to the body of the car when moving. Thanks in advance.

asking this is like asking what tires a person likes, with that said "I" prefer http://www.303products.com/ I use it for everything including our boat with great results. 1 thing I really like is any black plastic you have that is faded, by using per directions, it brings back the shine & luster. I also really like using it on my trailer tires that sit for long periods to protect them from dry rotting. it truly does help, if you apply as recommended.

 

I've been using a Stoner product called More Shine. It's in a spray can & very easy to use just spray it on & your done. You can use more then one coat if you want more shine. Lasts a long time & doesn't splatter.

 

I love 303. I used to use it for pretty much everything, but now I switched to Black Magic "natural finish" protectant. I am almost 100% convinced it's the exact same thing as the 303 aerospace protectant, but 1/4 the price.

 

I prefer using NoTouch. Spray it on, let it sit for about 5 minutes and then hose it off. It keeps the natural look of a new tire. If you like shiny rubber it is not for you.

 

303 makes great products!
I also like C-magic products, for my C5

 

I'd like to find some that was low gloss or flat. I was in an auto parts store today and all they had was "wet look". Just doesn't do it for me.

I've used this for the past few months or so. It is water based and leaves a good sheen to the tire. It's not super shiny and it doesn't sling at all. I apply it with a piece of a sponge.

 

I use Adam's Polishes V.R.T. - it's a gel, stays on the tires very well and does not have a high gloss to it.

 

Adams Polishes - VRT by far the best I have ever used!

Thanks,Matt

 

Another fan of Adams VRT. My son came over to the house to wash his car and broke out some kind of spray. I had him do one of his tires with it and then gave him the VRT and an applicator sponge for the others. He did the tires and threw the spray stuff in the garbage before leaving the house.

 

Sounds like a great product!! Is it at regular parts store??

Since the last time we talked about plastic refreshers and tire shine products, I've done a little independent testing. I've used a lot of products, and tested a lot of products. I bought aerospace 303, because so many people recommended it.. here is my review of 303... first of all its water based, not a good thing for outdoor applications. its great product for anything inside the car. But then so is Zaino leather in a bottle and it smells much better, I wont be buying any more 303. AS far as out side.. I have a large ABS Plastic trash can with a large lid. for the outside of the car, there are two decent products, but I Have tried stoner and tire shine and black magic, back to black, No Touch and a myriad of other plastic and rubber restorers, and like the other thread , there is nothing out there that is really really great, nothing last for a long time.
10 days ago I put 303 on one side of my trash can lid and Maguire's endurance on the other. that very first night it rained and the next day, the 303 was gone and the Endurance still looked good. it looks good today too, still looks dark and rich but in slight decline. and it has rained a few times since the first application 10 days ago.


to date the absolute best product I have found for black plastic restoration is this Endurance stuff. its marketed as a tire refresher, and does a great job on tires. Its purple in color with a grape fragrance. The good thing about it is it stands up to rain and road and air borne contaminants. You can find endurance anywhere. Zaino is mail order but still a great product.

IM going out right now to shoot a picture of my lid... this is ten days in.. 303 on the left and endurance on the right.. it has been in the 90's all weeks with rain showers almost every day. Ive only done this lid one time 10 days ago. I don't know how the photos will look on the monitor but endurance is a lot better than anything else Ive tested. pictures shortly. its raining on and off today. BTW this trash can is 3 years old and weather beaten.. Ive never put anything on this lid prior to the test of 303 and Endurance

 

I agree with ET. I use the Meguiars Endurance.
Works great and lasts a long time, I apply with a tire sponge applicator.

Be prepared for a small amount of sling even after sitting for 24 hrs before driving.

 

Exactly. Use an applicator that is made for tires and it is simple and quick. The Adams regular VRT is water-based and will eventually wash off with washings and wet roads, however their new Super VRT has fixed this issue even though it is still a water-based product.

 

Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel

Optimum Opti-bond tire gel. It's biodegradable and does not sling.

 

Biodegradable is not something I want to use for longevity outside especially since it will break down quickly outside under normal environmental conditions. Water breaks down biodegradable products easily. if you want something to last outside, you don't buy a " Green Product".

 

No, you won't find it at a regular parts store. You can find it at some of the forum vendors.
