Tires shine, witch one?

HyperTech wrote: ↑ Hi everybody,

In the past i used simoniz no touch tire foam. When first applied, they look nice, but when it dry... Turn brown very bad looking.

Anyone can recommend good working stuff that keep the tires sidewalls black?

I am thinking of purchasing and trying this one. Anyone can comment on this product? Or suggest another one? Thx

I used that one before. Its alright but will only keep the shine/darkness for a 1-3 days.

My current go to is

https://www.amazon.ca/Chemical-TVD_107_ ... B00FJIT9BO its a cream thats applied with a foam applicator. Has the wet look for about 1-2 days and the matte black look for over a week.

My brothers go to is

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/megu ... p.html#srp compressed aerosol spray. Wettest/glossiest dressing I've seen. This stuff will stain anything it touches. So be carefully. Got drip marks on my driveway that do not come off.


Remember the key to keeping it looking good is making sure the tires are clean first, then dry and then applied 1-2 coats depending if you want matte or gloss black.

clean the tires first with multi purpose cleaner and vinyl brush, that will get them back to black (or dark grey) from the brown colour.

Then use an endurance type gel or lasting protectant.

I've always just cleaned them last with wash soap/tire brush, then use 303 Protectant on them with a microfiber. Gives them a nice satin look.

I just use whatevers on sale. The spray stuff isn't as good as the liquid but it's way quicker/easier to apply.

Trick is to clean them first and let them dry, and also don't drive for an hour or two to let it absorb.

Stop buying the cheap stuff at Crappy tire. Most of the detailing products they have are not very good.

Give this a try - https://www.carzilla.ca/gyeon-quartz-ca ... ting-400ml

Your tire shine honestly lasts months? I don't think i believe those product descriptions.. At least the CAD tire options are cheap to purchase lol.

I actually have not tried it yet, going to apply it for the first time once I'm done detailing my car in the coming weeks (if weather holds out) However its not uncommon for them to last a good amount of time compared to the cheap stuff.

I'm sure if you google the products you will find out real world results.

Honestly, I don't mind spending more if it lasts for as long as they claim, but when the cheap ones go on sale for under $10 and do a great job for a 2 weeks, it's hard to justify $50. Googling the products brought up mixed reviews (lots of complaints on amazon but they could just be applying it to a dirty car or something). You recommended it so that's why I asked you..

I have had good luck with Gyeon with a lot of their products so I expect this to be pretty good just cant give you real world experience as I have it sitting at home to still try. I will likely try it in a few weeks, if you remember feel free to PM me and I can tell you how it is. Or maybe ask on a detailing forum im sure some of the guys have experience there with it if you want an answer sooner rather then later.

That'd be great; i'll probably forget but i'm sure i'll see your ghostbusters icon pop up and it'll remind me to bug you... I try to avoid the detail forums, those guys are a bit too fanatical for my tastes haha. I'm fine with my car having swirls and imperfections (its a DD), i just want it to look clean

Just wondering if there something out there that you can spray on to clean the tires but does not put a shine on them?

water?

clean them with a general cleaner and vinyl brush then skip the tire shine

Just use the soapy water you use to wash the car (but do it at the end with the leftover) and some elbow grease. Will get it nice and clean. I do that if i don't want to bother with the tire shine.

I agree with this. I've looked into boutique tire shines and none of them really justify the cost.

I like this Meguiar's product from CT. $10 for a can, which usually lasts all summer, and gives a nice satin shine which lasts about 2 weeks.

This Meguiars product is actually very good and long lasting.....even compared to the expensive stuff from the Boutique shops like Eshine and Carzilla.

So I installed the Geyon Tire shine Sat afternoon. Lets see how long it lasts. I daily the car and its parked outside, so should be a good test.

Tire/wheel cleaner (and NOT a tire shine spray). Spray on, scrub with a brush and rinse off.

this product looks good, but i try to avoid "foam spray" product since i have bad experience with simoniz that turn my sidewalk into a brown clear after it dry and drive for a few days. for those that suggested me to "wash" the brown...thats not mud or dirty, its just make the tire turn brown....even its clean.

i just purchased last week this product.



for 9$ at walmart (same price on amazon)

and it turned my brown tires back to a nice and shiny black.

so far, i am very impressed with the product result for the price paid. ill let you all know in a few weeks how its hold.
