Whats everyones opinion on this stuff?iv been eyeing it up to replace my megiuars hot shine.

I am a big fan of Meguiars products and have used the Hot Shine twice ( didn't like it) but about a week ago I was in a local store O'Riely's and they had the Stoners More Shine on sale and out of curiosity I bought it, I used it on one of my personal cars ( I always do that before I use it on a customers car) but my car Accord has been in my garage for about a week, but I tell you, it looks really good, not a super overkill of shine , but just the right amount of shine, about durability? not sure of that, like I said its been in the garage, but I am impressed with it so far, especially at the price I got it $3.99 a can.

well after using hot shine for an entire year it cracked my tires and turned them brown.I had to scrub them everytime before i applied tireshine.It dries the rubber out and i was hoping that stoners doesnt turn the tires brown and doesnt dry the sidewalls out

alot of the glossy tire sprays use a silicone base which can degrade the coating on tires over time and cause them to brown. I believe the Stoners is water based, quite glossy, dries quickly, and lasts reasonable well unless heavy rain/puddles. It use to have a fine dedicated spray which meant no mess on rims, but I have used it in months.

I like these sprays for wheelwells only to brighten them between cleanings.

sounds like a good replacement to hotshine.I plan to pick up some pinnacle black onyx but i dont wanna use it all the time since its cost much more.I was looking for a cheap tire shine to use.

Pinnacle is a gel formula and has to be used sparingly to dry properly without sling. Sometimes a rewipe is needed. I rather like Poorboys Bright and Bold which is water based, relatively cheap, and nice and glossy. It is not an aerosol however.

From Stoners' web site:

"More Shine contains no surfactants or water so it lasts longer"

I do not know if this means it has some other carrier.


I have used Hot Shine as a wheel well dressing and it did not seem to have much capacity...much less than Armor All.

One rainstorm and it is gone and then you are left with nice dull brown tires.

This is what I was in fear of, the car I put it on has been in my garage for about a week, so I cant give a good opinion on durability yet, but it looks good just sitting in the garage..lol.......

I like these sprays for wheelwells only to brighten them between cleanings.:iagree: I've used a few aerosol products and don't like them, sprays everywhere especially if there is a breeze or wind, and hard to get a nice even coat. Worst was Megs Insane Shine, pos.

The sprays are good though for wheel weels, thats what I used them for. Except for Insane Shine, its a gummy/gluey mess and gunk and crap will get stuck to it.

I like the wolfgang black diamond tire gel. It has the rubeer conditioners in it. Sling is not bad. I dab by the letters w/a towel to get any excess off. It last a good amount of time.

This is all I use now, I use a yellow foam appt to spread it thin. I've never had sling and I have yet to need to go back and do a wipe down. I apply it thin and wait at least an hour before I use the car. That's it. It holds up to rain just fine for me.

I like using Stoners More Shine and No Touch. I grab which ever is cheaper. They both work extremely well and they have never browned nor cracked my tires. Very easy to apply.

I have used Stoner's More Shine for more than five years. Never once has it turned a tire brown and it is long lasting and durable. The only negative I have seen is using it in a breeze. Drifiting overspray will get on the surrounding areas so I do the tires & wheel wells first prior to washing/polishing/etc. Works very well on engine compartments also.
