Default Tires...

I am so sick of spending money on products to make my tires look good. It seems like every product I've tried either doesn't do much or throws a bunch of crap down the side of the car. What products have people used that they find really works?

I really like Poorboys product, as it is very glossy even with installation by foam pad (most the time it mutes it to look satin on other products) and because of the use with foam pad I see very little spit up.

I know what you mean...alot of products do sling on the body of the car. This is especially annoying especially after you just washed it and went for a cruise. Personally I like Meguiars Natural Shine. I spray the product on a sponge and work it into the tires. I usually do 2 applications. It gives the tire a natural look without being to greasy and shiny looking.

I had the same problem till I started using thr Turtle wax product"Tire Wax" You put it on and leave it for a few minutes then buff it. I have had good results so far.
