Default tire dressing

I use either Zaino or Mequiars NXT tire spray. Probably like the NXT the best as it is easiest to apply.

I use Griot's Garage tire dressing and also use these wheel shieldsfor no mess application. I have the 17" and 18" versions--now that I have my new Vette I need a 19" version, and can't find it!

I have used a good grade of silicone spray ( make sure that it states that is safe for plastics) and let it soak for a few minutes. Rub it off with a clean cloth and it leaves a nice dark finish which lasts and doesn't become a dust magnet (the first time you need to probably apply it twice).

Yep they fly all over the fenders and side of the car. I don't put this stuff on until I get to the car shows.

Zaino's tire dressing is by far the best; no fling.

I always put this stuff on before I wash my car. Never had any flinging that way.

My own two cents: have tried many things over the years. Definitely would not put armor all on my tires though. I want a spray that lasts and doesn't have fling. The Meguiars gel is nice, but not as convenient as a spray. Need a spray.

Meguiars NXT Generation Insane shine tire spray.
  • costs $7.
  • has excellent spray nozzle so it only goes where you want it to go, don't get any on the wheels.
  • lasts through rain, several weeks.
  • ABSOLUTELY no fling at all.
I don't think it really holds up through serial washings, but I like it for all of the other above.

I use the Dupont Teflon Tire Shine. It dries to the touch as well and doesn't sling off.
