Tire Glosser $#%$@%$#!

[Purdue_Boiler_Viper]

I've had it with the tire glossers. I've tried many of them, and the tires look great. I let the stuff dry overnight. Then, a quick drive around the block and I have to clean out the wheel wells from all the crap slinged off the tires.

Anybody got something that works?

I use "no touch" but about a half hour ater spraying I wipe the tires down. not too glossy just looks like new tires.

Thanks Steve. Was using the Meguire's product. Still had a little bit of problems like Purdue. How is the website?

I'm with you!! I had the same issue until recently.

I don't spray the products directly on the tire anymore. I now spray the product on a rag and rub it deep into the tire. I have done this for the past 3 weeks and never have issues anymore. It also goes on more evenly and I use much less product. It makes them look like new tires rather than that soaking wet look....that always causes splatters. I use Meguiar's NXT Insane Tire Spray. No more splats!

i use a stoner product for my tires but always wipe them before driving

I think the tire sprays that sling off are the silicone based products. Water based ones,Armor All, dont last as long but the product doesn't end up being splattered on the side of your car after a drive.

I tried some brand of tire gel that looked great after it was first applied. After a short drive around town though, I had dirt and small rocks stuck to my tire that made them look like sugared doughnuts.

i've used No Touch and it works pretty good.

 

[Purdue_Boiler_Viper]

Sugared doughnuts. LMAO.

I did recently read something about using a mix of water and sugar on tires..

Why ruin the ruber with silicone products causing rubber deteriioration shorter life,slippery tread etc.Shiney tires are for garage queenies and not drivers.Real drivers don't have glossy tires.They are for ricers,low riders etc. GTS Bruce

I use Adam's VHT on mine. They sell little grey sponges that you apply it with. It works great, lasts quite awhile and doesn't fly off. It's not real shiney but makes the tire look like it was new. My 2 cents worth.

Looks a lot like Vinylex Protectant. I use that on the interior of the car. I'll try it on the tires.

I use turle wax tire wax. Works great no slinging and no mess

I use a water based dressing applied with a Lake Country foam tire dressing applicator. Spray versions can get airborne and drift onto other surfaces during application.

The key is to wipe off any excess dressing that accumulates in the grooves at the outer edge of the sidewall of the tire. This excess slings first on the fenders.

Give 'Spit Shine' ( gel applied with applicator) http://www.jorgensgarage.com/product.php?productid=23&cat=20&page=1 and/or Guard All ( spray or applicator) http://www.jorgensgarage.com/product.php?productid=19&cat=20&page=1 and remember if you drop me a note I will give you a introductory VIP pin number to the site for a discount

Do not use Griot's. The slung mess from HELL! Have to wipe down the entire side of the car 3 TIMES after speed runs! ***?
