A frustrating problem
For the life of me I can't seem to find a nonslinging tire shine for my Artic white C5. I've tried numerous brands but the white makes it so tuff to not have speckles on the fenders.
Can someone please who's found the answer/brand let me in on it. I really like the shine so no leave it be comments thanks.

I've been using Adam's Polishes V.R.T. and it stays put on the tires.

Aerospace 303. Spray on liberally. Wipe excess off of wheels. Let sit overnight or a few hours. Blot any excess. No need to wipe. Tires will look "new" again...and lasts a while.

I like the amount of shine too. It is not a high gloss, it just makes the tire a satin deep black like a new tire.
I also like it because when you touch the tire after it is dry, there is no residue that comes off. Many of the higher gloss products leave a residue that comes off on you hands, or pant legs, or car covers, or sling up on the fenders.

duplicolor makes a spray on tire shine that works decent... it dries quickly and doesn't leave any residue so it won't sling off of the tire... it also gives the tires a satin shine as opposed to a wet/glossy look

Tried a product called "Back To Black" I'm sure a lot of you guys know the product.
It's not costly and it cuts the brown bloom leaving a nice black finish on the tires.
I don't have all the boutique products, mostly my stuff comes from Autobone or oreillys. I have some Turtle Ultra tire shine stuff too for the ultimate shine. None of this stuff "slings" anything..
