What is the Best Tire Shine Out There?
I was wondering, what kind of tire shine is the most reflective and best looking. Would it be the foam kind or spray kind? Thanks for your help!

i personally think Zaino Z16 is the best one I have ever used.. however it is not the glossiest.... I do not like the look of extremly oily/glossy tire shine, looks unnatural and usually sprays off all over the car. Zaino Z16 is a water based dressing, does not fling off or make the tire brown and lasts a while! If you want super glossy dressing, get turtle wax tire gel trilicone formula.

I've had good luck with the Meguier's Endurance High Gloss. The funny thing is, I don't like it at first-too oily. But after a wash or rain, it's about right. I do two coats, a day apart, and it lasts (black, even, and 'original' looking, but not oily) for around a month. You do have to watch out for sling-only do it when your car can sit overnight. Has this funky grape smell, too...

simple method
I just put a nice coat on after washing (usually BlackMagic) with a small sponge paint brush.I let is sit for a few minutes and then just take a slightly damp cloth and wipe the entire sidewall.It removes any excess and leaves just enough so that the tire is clean and bright without an overly oily wet look.Virtually no sling at all and it looks great.I have a white car so its very important to keep sling to a minimum.Nothing I hate more then spending a couple hours making the car look really sick,only to have it ruined within a few minutes of cruising around.

I agree with Al on the Zaino Z16...maybe the best product they have IMO. Not as glossy as others I have tried, but long lasting. It is fantastic on the black wing of my 928S4...glossier look on this material and lasts forever (no rain driving for the garage queen!).
