    Tire Finish that Lasts??

    Is there a Tire Finish that Lasts made by any company? I've tried so many it's ridiculous! My last is the Blackfire SiO2 Tire Finnish. I really like it overall. Great finish, easy to apply, dries quick, lasts pretty good in dry weather but..... if it gets even just a little wet, it's gone! This is the similar problem I've had with most. Drive in any rain and it's done. I've tried multiple coats and even put a light coat of Pinnacle SiOs sealant on tires. Didn't help. I can't believe with the technology advancements in auto car products there isn't something that lasts? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Blackfire doesn't offer a product called "SiO2 Tire Finnish" Are you referring to the Blackfire Multi-Surface Dressing Concentrate or Blackfire Tire Gel? McKee's 37 & Gyeon both offer SiO2 Tire Dressings. The Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 Spray should only be used on your painted surfaces and glass.

    It sounds like you're looking for a tire coating. Tire coatings last a long time. McKee's 37, Optimum and Tuff Shine offer excellent tire coatings.

    So what IYO is the longest lasting tire coating?

    Tufshine. It's been around a long time, maybe 10 years, for good reason. It works if you do the prep work correctly. If you don't want to prep, AA Extreme Gel is the longest lasting stuff that doesn't require prep.

    I can also vouch for Tuff Shine. I applied it to my wife’s Buick on New Years Eve and it is still effective today. I just clean the tires with car soap and they are still black. Over the last 4 months we have had a lot of snow and rain.

    I haven't tried the new Optimum Tire Protectant & Coating yet, but the McKee's 37 and Tuff Shine both last a long time.

    Mckee’s > Tuf Shine in my experience.
