What do you guys use. I want something that lasts and doesn't spin off the tires. Your input is appreciated;).

I love No Touch Premium in the purple can...its so much better than the regular, dare I say, crap...problem is I can't find it often.

Meguairs gel. It works pretty good. Not really shiny like armour all though. But it lasts longer and doesn't seem to attract as much dust.

I use Black Magic Tire Wet....The tires will have that "Wet" look until the next time it rains. I've used it for like 5 years, love the stuff.

Yep, I'm using that now since my usual No Touch Premium wasn't on the shelf. Its shiny and has some resiliency to weather...rain, sun, etc. I still swear by NTP for endurance of shine.

I use Black Magic too. The stuff is great! The thing you do is let it dry a little and it won't splash. Also wipe off your rims where they got sprayed on or it will leave some dirt streaks.

Yep the big deal to avoid the product launching off the tire and 3/4 the way down your car is drying! I've been so pissed in the past when I saw the little drips it leaves on the doors that I've considered hairdrying it to speed up the drying process.

Meguiars Endurance tire shine all the way, and its easy to apply, so you dont get it all over the rims them self.

sup blubat, its ants, blu ant
hey, take my advice, no joke
ive used a LOT of products, but by far, the best is VINYLEX
dont use meguires, didnt like it, it didnt last, hated armor all, hated that tire tint crap (looked cheap), discovered vinylex from corvette forums. it brings a nice shine to them, not bling bling, but a sophisticated "new" shine that seems to nourish the tires
they look natural, i highly recommend. also, it has highest UV rating to protect the tires
i use vinylex for tires and interior, zaino for everything else
good luck

Black Majic or Eagle 1 seems to hold up pretty well.

armorall has the shiny wet look.. but doesnt last long. Black magic... im not sure but as long as you dont get the black magic stuff with gold sparkly ****, i guess regular black magic is ok. im gonna go out and get some black magic stuff today. remember stay away from the "gold sparkly" stuff!!

if you dont overspray meaning like u put on 3 heavy coats it will! BUT SO FAR not a single drop on the rims! just make sure if you get it on the rims to wipe it off becuz it attracts dirt!

:werd: its what I use also... works good, looks awesome :D
I use tire dressing from a body shop. It's orange but smells like berries. I use a sponge, apply a couple of coats & it won't sling around. It shines 3 times as much as anything off the shelf & lasts twice as long even through rain etc. $8 a gallon. It doesn't have a fancy name just a white bottle w/ "tire dressing" on it. I'll get a name tomorrow for the manuf. I clean my tires with a cleaner from the same company, it's a weak acid based wheel cleaner. Sounds crazy but it really brightens them & doesn't hurt the finish.
Tire Wet is my next choice. My best advice is to still use a sponge.
The company is called Sheildco.

I use Armor All Tire Foam.. it works great and doesn't stain your wheels. Just spray it on while you're drying your car and wipe off the excess after.

Looks like Black Magic is a popular choice here.
