done with tire shine lol
for years i've always sprayed it on a sponge and wiped it on the sidewall so it wouldnt get all over my truck...but i was in napa today and they had like this gallon jug of rubber/plastic protectant that said it doesnt harm tires. it's like $3 so i figure what the heck why not?
washed the truck-even cleaned the sidewalls off with some whitewall cleaner-and applied this stuff. it looks great! gives them a tiny bit of shine but without all the oily greasy nastiness :)
no more spray down the side of my white truck!

it's just napa brand haha. it just called rubber/plastic protectant. it's white it almost looks just like armor all but like i said not as greasy. and a whole fricken gallon!. i still used a sponge on the tires. everything else i just dumped on a microfiber. even used it on some of the black covers under the hood

another trick i randomly tried was this stuff i use on my quads. it's a spray on plastic shine-i believe its called sc-1 or something. made mirrors/caps look new on my truck. NOTE_DONT USE ON TIRES lol. just in case someone is dumb enough to do that.
i work at a tire store and some idiot asked of cooking oil would work as tire shine. WOW lol.

Ive been hooked on the new Meguires Natural Shine Interior Protectent with scotch guard.
the new stuff with the scotch guard works much better then the previous formula.
I use it for everything now. Tires, Interior, Tonneu cover, Flares, Bumpers.
my tires stay looking clean, dark, and brand new looking. not greasy and wet looking.
It repels dust and dirt, and anything that does stick rinses right away.

Update: Since my post from August, I have gotten tired of oil based shines. I have figured out the way to keep the shine from slinging, but it is nearly impossible to keep the tires from getting dust and such on them b/c the shine is so sticky.
I currently use Poorboys Bold and Bright. It is a water based shine that never slings and b/c it being water based no dust sticks to it. It is also a very dark and rich shine more than a mirror-like oily shine finish compared to the Meguiars stuff I used to use. The only drawback to this stuff is that it is only found online from what I can tell. The local autozone, o'reileys, and advance auto places do not carry it.
Overall it is just an issue of personal preference. I prefer the darker rich tone of a water based shine compared to the shiny oily look.
