What kind of tire-shine product doesn't splash up onto the car?

MLMike25 · 02-20-2005, 06:11 PM

I'm currently using something to shine my tires (I think its Mothers tire shine or something like that) which LOOKS good, BUT the stuff kicks up on to my car door when driving. I love my car, but I do get tired of having to wipe the doors (not willing to buy splash guards).

I used to use some foam tire spray by Armor All. It didn't kick up onto my doors, but after about 3 weeks of once a week washing the can is empty.

Anyone have any suggestions on something that lasts a pretty long time but DOESN'T kick up onto the doors?

Original ArmorAll doesnt splash up, spray it on a applicator pad and wipe it on the tires. Keep wiping until it is rubbed in.

I like the Meguires Hot Shine, but again I rub it in with an applicator pad.

Any tire shine product sprayed on the tire will splash up on the doors and behind the rear wheels because it doesn't soak in. It always gets on your rims too, and it collects dust on your rims.

Meguires Endurance. It's what I use. It lasts a good while and smells fantastic!

Zaino Z17 is also a good tire product. It's really watery but works well if you let it dry a few minutes before driving. Gives the tire a clean look. Not shiny, just flat black and clean.
