i found this new tire shine on the internet and i love it, its a liquid when you apply it and after about 2 minutes it dry to the touch so it dont sling off on your car. it doesn't give the super high gloss wet look shine but its a good deep black clean gloss.

i have used eagle one tire shine for years now and love it but if you put just a little too much, it gets all over your car.

Looks like a good product from the description.  I like the fact you can use it on dashboards and stuff too as well as tires.  I like the multi-use products like that.  I've always used Armor All Tire Shine with the sponge applicator and the tires look shiny, but they have that greasy look they talk about.  If you could, maybe post a pic after you apply this.  I might get some when it gets closer to spring for my blazer.

i will try to get some pix today, is stated raining unexpectedly right after i got my blazer cleaned up so i had to put in the garage before i got a chance to take any pix. i have never liked armor all tire shine because of the super greasy look it has. i have used it on the interior some but like stp better. i dont know if i will try this new stuff on my interrior but i did use it on my mirriors, rear bumper and windshield cowl as welll as my tires

The rain just passed over here. I hope wave 2 is coming.
Yeah I got some Ibiz show car shine last year and I've been looking for some more. Its made for show cars, so it doesn't last as long as I would like, but it has a sealant type stuff in it and it keeps the letters from getting dingy and stuff when you put tire shine on. I've been using Eagle One lately, but I might get ahold of that Adam's stuff for christmas... for myself...

Meh...  Meguiars Endurance tire gel FTW! 

I don't touch Armor All even if its free.  Too greasy of a look for me.  I can't stand a shiny dash.

blznlowxtreme -> RE: found a new tire shine (11/25/2007 3:02:26 PM)

now i dont mind a shiny dash and interior,  but i dont like it so shiny that you can just see a layer of grease on the dash. i haven't used the meg. do you use it on your interior too?

I got told years ago by an old Hot Rodder to use Lemon Juice, the ones in the little plastic lemons or even the real lemon. I have used this on my interior parts for as long as I was told about it. Been through several vehicles and no problems as of yet. It is supposed to moisten the parts and after it dries on the dash when the sun hits it and the dash starts to to get warm it sets off a lemon scent(built in Air freshener.) Never tried it on my tires though.

That's because in the 'Old Days' before Armour All was invented we first used tire paint , then brake fluid was the tire dressing "of choice" but then the ultimate came along and that was Lemon Pledge ..
Armour All was a dream come true !! [:)]

I use Armor All Ultimate Shine Gel on the interior and it shines it real nice, but doesn't have the greasy look like the tires do.

I use the black magic tire wet gel, it leaves my tires shiny for about two weeks till i do it again. On the otherhand the gel does pick up alot of dust and dirt, but when the right amount is applied it doesn't fling everywhere!!!

i ahte gel becase it catches so much dirt and dust and it starts leaving a build up on your tires. getting just the right amount is what i got tired of with my eagle one. i will probably still use my eagle one from time to time but this new stuff will be my main tire shine

I quit using Armor All when I acquired my 91 Blazer 4X4 with factory alloy wheels and front wheel disc brakes.  If you get Armor All overspray on the front  alloy wheels the disc brake dust will combine with that tire dressing and form a cake-like material that is difficult to remove. I tried a car wash, lacquer thinner, acetone  and a stiff  bristle brush  and it did not budge.  Then I tried  Eagle 1 Etching Wheel Cleaner  and found that will dissolve the caked-on black disc brake residue. Eagle 1 Etching Wheel Cleaner has three types of acids and you should be careful when using it and don't get it in your eyes but I bare handed the etching cleaner with no problems.  Eagle 1  Etching Wheel Cleaner has phosphoric acid and that is used in Coca Cola.  Only leave Eagle 1 Etching Cleaner  on your alloy wheels about 30 seconds, then  brush them with a stiff bristle tire brush  and thoroughly wash the wheels with with water .   The brake dust/Armor All cake residue  will wash off easily and leave your alloy wheels bright and  shining.  A 15" trash can lid works to mask off the wheels if you insist on using Armor All.  The trash can lid will prevent the Armor All  tire dressing overspray from getting on your alloy wheels, collecting brake dust and forming the dreaded black substance again that is so difficult to remove.
