What is everyone using on their tires?

[Jrunr]

I am looking for a good tire dresing that is not too shiney, but leaves a nice, matte finish on the tires. It seems like most of the things you buy over the counter leave a silicone residue that attracts dirt like crazy!

What do you all suggest?

Thanks!

303 sounds like a good plan.

I am using the Meguiar's now, and I am getting that "dirty silicone" look after a coupe of days...

This is what i am trying to avoid.

Anything else?

Clean Tires

I use Tire Magic sometimes, but what really makes them look good is my high-pressure washer. I spray the tires with 409 or Fantastic and then clean the tires with the 1,800 psi pressure washer.

When I was running raised white letter tires, the letters looked brand new after a good pressure washing.

303 Aerospace Protectant. Good stuff.

303 Is good stuff. I personally use Poorboys Bold N Brite. I'm alway's looking for new stuff to try but have so far alway's came back to that.

I use Mother's FX tire shine. Not too shiney. I have 303, maybe I will try that.

Turtle Wax F21 Protectant.

Works great (glossy and then goes to a slightly less glossy look after a few days) and does not attract a whole lot of dust and such. I use it on my running boards as well. It can be used on a multitude of surfaces.

I've used a alot of stuff on my tires over the last 20 years but lately I've really liked the results from Meguire's Endurance tire gel. It's one of the few that seems to last a few weeks or more and even through a couple of rainstorms it holds up well.

I went off roading this past weekend and through a bunch of water/mud and rock rubbing the parts of my tires that escaped abuse still look dark and I did them over 10 days ago.

And it smells like grapes!!!

I've been using Zaino Z16 or Poorboys Bold N Brite. 303 is also a good choice.

Ive used their stuff to and its good, its just a pain in the arse to apply and then if/when you wash your tires before its all off, it makes a mess on the mitt

That's one of the reasons I switched to 303. Still trying to finish up some Meguiars NXT on the Camry.

take an empty spray bottle and put about 1/4 all purpose armor all and 3/4 water and shake it up and use that, it gives it a black finish thats not shiny.

i did this when i ran out of armor all, i would fill it with water and shake it to get the rest of the armor all out and then spray because i dont like the shiny sticky stuff either.

Meguiar's Endurance--doesn't wash away in the rain or when cleaning the rims.

UPDATE, I tried Finish care #108 work's well and hold's up well too. www.fk1usa.com

303 works for me

Applicators:

Recently I tried the "half moon" shaped applicator-sponge pads. I thought they were great. You get allot of product on your hands, but you totally avoid overspray.

oh, i got one of those when i bought some armor all extreme shine tire gel.

IT SUCKED!! biggest waste of my money, used it once and gave it to my cousin. Maybe it just sucks on my tires though, because i have white lettering out and it smudges black crap all over the white lettering.
