Default Tire shine

Do any of you use any tire shine on your tires and if so what seems to be the best

I just use an old white athletic sock soaked in Armoral and wipe the sidewalls after every wash. Tire shine costs twice as much and loses its shine twice as fast.
If you are nuts about it ... you can get Armoral in a small sized spray bottle and do it whenever you have a moment of needing to Pimp.

I prefer the "No Touch" brand. I get it at Walmart. Cheap and seems to have some staying power.I prefer the Satin finish can. It makes the tires look new, NOT shiny. Jmo, they dont look right shiny.

I always put tire shine on my car... it just makes the car to have shiney tires on it. I use the Meguiars Hot Shine in the spray bottle and a rag... and I don't have a problem with mine slining all over the car either.

Meguiars has another one now called "Insane Tire Shine". that stuff is pretty impressive and really seems to last long.

I tried the Armor All brand tire shine, was not impressed. Will have to try something else next time.

I used to use the Armor All Tire Shine on a previous car, but stopped when it ate through the protective clearcoat on the rims and I got that white corrosion on the aluminum. Had to get all four rims re-finished at a local wheel place.

I was told to apply the tire shine to a rag, then apply to the tire being careful not to get any on your rim.
