What are you guys using to make your tires shine

Hey guys. Was wondering what you guys use to make your tires shine longer than a couple of hours.

I have tried armorall, meguiars hot shine, black magic tire wet and it just shines it for a few hours and goes back to the dull tire color.

Thanks for your input.

Meguiar's Hot Shine lasts a week or more if you don't drive in a ton of rain.



I also use Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel (wipe-on) and it lasts even longer.

I quit using tire shine for the most part. I regularly hand wash and wax/polish my car, and detail just about every other bit, but tires just get a wash with the wheels. I don't like when that tire shine spins off the tires and onto the paint while driving, and I've noticed reduced traction when it's been overly applied onto the tread (usually at the dealer).

It's not like tires are a permanent item or that these products extend the life or performance. These cars eat tires so it won't be too long till I just replace them.

From my experience, any of the "Gel" wipe on applications work the longest. Not only does gel last longer, but you also avoid the dreaded overspray that you get with spray on tire shines.
To be specific, Maguires Endurance Tire Gel is my go to product, you can't go wrong with anything from them!
