I'm curious as to what you guys like to use best. Also, what you would recommend not getting. Here's my reviews...


Meguires NXT tire aerosol spray- Probably my favorite. Last long and doesn't come off the tires onto the body of the car making a mess

Black Magic tire wipes- Looks good at first, but then the shine goes away fast.

Eagle tire gel spray- The type that is in a spray bottle and is a little thicker than water. Makes the tires look awesome. But, get's all over the wheels when spraying and also flings up black shit all over the car. It'd be good for a car show after you park your ride.

Black Magic tire foam- Looks ok at first. I guess it depends on the tires. I used it on some Falken ZX-512's with the smooth sidewall and it just ran off and looked like crap. I'm sure if you had some tires with the sidewalls with the small grooves like most tires have, it wouldn't be that bad.


Let's hear what you guys have experienced. I'm sure I can think of more later. But, this is all for now.

eguiar's FTW! I believe it was the Hot Shine Tire Foam.

My tires were done i think last monday or the monday before, and they're still shining. of course the shine is slowly fading now, but I was amazed at how well and how long it works.

I don't like tire shine, I just don't care for bright shiny tires.

I prefer to make the tires look new, and unworn, and to do that, Shoe polish, I shit you not. And it doesn't get you messy if you touch it when its on.

It does work. Also, if you have another car with plastic headlight lenses, and you get that fogged over look, just rub some crisco on them. They shine like new.

i dont care what tire shine it is i just spray it on and rub it in/wipe it off to make my tires look clean and dark but not shiney. I also use the stuff on some trim pieces like the front lip and mud guards to make them nice and black

shoe polish. really? do you mean like the quick shine polish, or the real shoe polish that comes in a can?
