Tire dressing...what do you use?

[MyHoe]

Ok guy's WTF kind of tire dressing do you use, and how do you apply it?? This is kind of a poll...thanks. :fight:

[Y2k+1 Z71]

303 Protectant. Has UV protection, gives a mild shine with almost no residue, has stuff to recondition the tires natural oils.

You can find it at boat and Marine stores (it's also the best for fibreglass).

I use Eagle One and use their custom applicator thing. I have used Black Majik-smells really good. Both work about the same, but Eagle One is cheaper. My friend uses Meguiars and swears by that crap, but I don't see enough difference between mine and his to justify the price difference. They all wear off after a short while anyway.
One thing that I have noticed using this stuff is a light brown ring about 1 1/2" wide from the tread down. I believe this crap causes it, but I have no proof. If I apply some more, it is not noticeable though.
Don't use armor all tire foam---doesn't work at all

I use High Endurance with the applicator thingie, it last a few weeks even after the rain.:thumbup:

Thanks guy's...keep the opinions coming. Could someone move this post to the general discussion for me, I f'ed up.

Thanks in advance,

Years back I used to use armorall, eagle one. Now I use any of the cleaner/dressing combo. I made a shield the diameter of the wheel (with cardboard & get this DUCT TAPE!) to protect it from the chemicals. Just spray it on and presto.. Those things last well enough until the next wash, has UV protection, and give a mild shine with hardly any residue, just like Y2k+1 Z71 said. And best you have less hassle to deal with. :read:

May be I just getting too old to deal with that crap, but it works;)

ORIGINAL Armorall and a sponge really wet, let sit for a couple minutes and wipe w/ damp sponge. Black as night!;) :cool:

I use Whestle's(sp) Wheel Bleach or something like that. It cleans the raised white letters back to white if you use a brush on them. I usually dont user tire dressing.

Meguiar's High Endurance. Smells like grapes and lasts for a couple of weeks even after driving in the rain. :)

I use black Krylon paint, stays black for months!

j/k I use the High Endurance stuff on my Hoe with the applicator thingy and the foam on the Z, since it would take a whole bottle of High Endurance to shine 1 of my 35's:wow:

[slammedchevy01]

I ue Eagle One and applyit with a terry cloth. May try Mcguiar's cause I have a whole garage full of all the rest of there products!Hey Mark how does the applicator pad work on the 275/45's?the Eagle one is too big. Thanxs , Adam

I use different stuff for different tires. On the Vette (which I sold) which had BFG tires - regular Armor All applied with a sponge seemed to work best. On my wife's car ('01 Olds Intrigue with Goodyears) - Armor All foam applied with a sponge. On the truck (Bridgestones) - Zaino Perfect Trire Gloss applied with an Eagle One contour applicator.

The Zaino is expensive (which is why I don't use it on the wife's car), but the Armor All Foam looks like crap on the truck tires. Can't seem to figure that one out.
