What did you use for product? I've been using perl straight for the past year or so and like the look. Nice car too!

Now, I'm not talking greasy, patchy Armor All tires, but shiny. Just shiny.

Sure is! I just watch that movie the other night so that scene came to mind, lol.

Of the over the counter tire shines, I think endurance gel is my favorite, but I found perl and really liked how it was dry in a few minutes and gave a nice amount of gloss.

I was picking up dinner for the family tonight and I came across this white jeep that had more gloss on the tires than it did on the paint. I should have taken a picture.

I did the same thing, but went back to Pinnacle this weekend. I cannot stop dressing tires !!

We should have our own shiny tire group!

There's lots of great shiny tire dressings but few that don't sling.

I'm the same way Kevin!!! I love shiny tires and I mainly use Meguiar's Hyper Dressing @ 2:1.

I've recently started using PERL @ full strength too.

Well, you know...there's all this talk and promotion of matte finishes for tires. It's all good, and the matte finish does look great. But the SHINE! Love it!

Which do you prefer? PERL is almost double the price, but I have also been using it at various dilutions for different areas on my cars. Once I burn through my PERL (still have quite a bit left) I may pick up a gallon of HyperDressing. I love everything else form the Meg Detailer line so I am sure I will love HD too.

This thread is slowly becoming TSJA(Tire Shine Junkies Anonymous)

Step 1: Admitting we have a problem.
Step 2: Trying to convince our better half that we really needed to by that new tire shine because the other 8 that we have just don't get the job done.
