wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I cant remember where you live. How much do you have left? Can it be picked up at advance auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Meguiars Hot Shot is what I've been using. Good stuff, non-foaming, but still tends to fling onto the car if it's put on too generously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I cant remember where you live. How much do you have left? Can it be picked up at advance auto? i forget and im not at home...like half a bottle maybe a bit more and yea it can be picked up at any auto store...its not too expensive and this stuff is non foaming, it doesnt fling anywhere, it doesnt pick up dirt and shit....its hard to apply on tires with a lot of little lines in them or anything, its thick like a gel http://www.autogeek.net/golclasenhig.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Ive enjoyed this Armorall stuff so far... doesnt really fling off at all, and I like it better than the endurance as that stuff was too much... would start to get gunky on the tire, as I only use car soap to clean rims... wouldnt get it off between useages. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/wcsstore/CVWEB/staticproductimage//N3308/large/7030049_arm_77960_pri_larg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I still use the old silicone based Black Magic, looks good and lasts a few car washes. Car doesn't see rain to know how well that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 This is what I used until I ran out but it didnt seem to last very long. Gives a decent shine. After a few aplications, it seemed to last much longer, but I'm sure there's better stuff out there. It doesn't fling off up the side of the car though.

The front runners on the truck are at least 10 years old now, and were Armorall'ed every time the truck was washed. Still look new. Same with the rears. Dad's 92 Vette had original Goodyears on it until 2008. Shined every time it was washed, still had great sidewalls when they were finally replaced. I think otherwise well maintained vehicles are fine shining their rubbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 all i'm saying is if you want to come back at the tire manufacture about dry rot because your 80k mile tires are leaking outta the sidewalls don't use tire shine. I'm sure you aren't asking for any mileage rating out of skinnies or vette tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I have never seen a tire that wasnt left to rot, actually rot out the sidewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
