I have to admit, I am a big Armor All guy, even though I probably spelled it wrong. I love to shine up the tires and the dash/interior of my vehicles. BUT, I think the Boss is so Bad @$$ as it is, the shine might look too gaudy on the Boss. I use the matte finish Armor All on the interior and nothing on the tires.


What do you guys use, what do you think about the tires, shine or no shine?

Shine baby. Gotta let it shine

 

302 Protectant -- super stuff

 

I use what the dealer had put on mine when I bought it, found it at Jax Wax, called Shine All, which is water based...good stuff....Lasts a long time, but then I only drive it on nice days...to me a tire looks best with a nice matte finish....

 

I dilute Armor All 50% with distilled water. Gives protection without the sheen.

 

Armor All is terrible. You're ruining your interior and your tires. Use higher quality products that aren't petroleum based. There's a whole detail section on the forum that you should check out...

 

I shine em up but not too shiny!

 

Armor All is GARBAGE!
Don't use it, and get a higher quality products from AutoGeek.net .
Personally I usePinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel .
Make sure you use a gel product instead of a spray on, its more dense liquid that you apply with a sponge, it bonds with the rubber, so you don't get over spray allover your clean car while you drive off.
Armor all interior products are horrible, the smell, the texture the oily residue it leaves, its not how a proper clean car should look.

 

I Use red lion Insta clean. Sometimes the best products are not listed as a car care products. It provides everything that I'm loking for. You should try it.....Never Know

 

Thats why I like Shine All, first product I have used on my 40+ cars that doesn't fling down the side of the car....

Aerospace 303 Protectant leaves a matte finish, and can be used on interior, tires, and plastics. Also has great UV protection.
And since I'm a pilot, it makes sense to use an aerospace product.

 

I like the black, but not so much shine. Meguiars hot stuff I think. Whatever their spray on stuff is (as opposed to the gel).

 

Don't use shiny anything on the interior, you will cause sun to get caught between the shine and the interior and create a green house affect. On tire shine I have heard you want to use a liquid if your stationary and a gel if you plan to drive the car because the liquid can get on your car whereas the gel won't come off the tires as easily.

 

Are you talking about Cajun Shine All?

 

 

That stuff's expensive. I love Amazon.

 

I've been using Croftgate Tire Shine. If you spray it on and let it dry without wiping it leaves a nice shine. If you spray and wipe it is more matte and looks like a new tire. Either way it dries in minutes with zero sling or greasy feel/look. I tried it on my matte splitter and mudflaps a few days ago and they went from greyish to a nice rich black.

 

No, it is sold and manufactured by Jax Wax.....bought a gallon of it which will probably last me long after I am dead and gone...

 

I just use Mothers back to black - i do the plastics as well at the same time - nice matte finish - i dont like the pretty unicorn sparkly look

 

So... if you want a really good SHINE for tires ONLY, what would you use?

If you want a great matte protectant inside, which would you use?
