    I like this and have used it...but the spray bottle is a piece of sh*t so I've had to transfer it into another spray bottle to use. That could go on the "Pet Peave" thread...buy a new bottle of tire shine, first time you try to use it, the spray bottle breaks!!

    this stuff kinda sucks if you have an aggressive offroad tire.

    I prefer Stoner's More Shine

    If I had to choose an over the counter product, I do like Megs Endurance Gel.

    If ordering online, Optimum Tire Gel, or my first choice, Poorboys Bold n Bright.

    anybody know if this stuff can stain your paint? i have black wheels and put some meguiars hot shine on, and got some overspray on my wheels and didn't notice. so it sat on there overnight and it was streaked down the black wheel. i haven't had time to try to wash it off becuase i've been busy today. but will it damage the paint on the wheels, or is that just oily residue on the wheel?

    Believe it or not. Mop and Glow. Don't have to worry about it slinging off while I'm driving and the shine last awhile.

    Mop and Glow?

    Thats funny.................


    Try Jet in aerosol for the tires.Kind of dries on nice for less flinggggggggg.

    And Finally,Automatic Tranny Fluid on Misc Rubber around windows & molding ETC.,,,Blows away many other products. An old timer told me about this and used it for years,

    Yeah, sound wierd? but so does Mop & Glow!

    I just use Armor All Protectant on the tires. Spray on, let it sit for a while and wipe off. IMO makes the tires look nice and black again and I don't get any spinoff like with those other dressings.
