Your tire shine/gel/coating recommended product.
What’s everyone using for tires. I’ve been using sonax And gyeon I prefer the sonax has better look. Shoot me a recommendation for a product maybe rate durability 1 low - 5 highest and shine 1 low -5 highest. I’m jones to try a new one because all my cars are coated (paint) and I’m trying not to top them and just wash em.

Why not try a tire coating if you want something that doesn’t require frequent maintenance?
I use CarPro PERL and I reapply every wash so as long as it’s great for a week I’m happy and it easily does that.

McKees 37 Gloss tire gel...gives me about 2 weeks.
Control the shine easily by varying number of coats

I daresay armor all spray on, goes on like a water based (Im assuming it is) intense shine for first day then fades to a nice black for about a week. Not the most durable but its like $5 for 30oz and locally available. I've been quite pleased so far.

Tuff Shine
- Durability/Longevity = 5
- Shine = 2/3 depending on coats (and tire composition it seems)
Not a fan of shiny tires, prefer clean look. Initial prep/application can be kinda arduous, especially if you've been previously laying on the tire dressings but once done, easy to keep up going forward. In NE Ohio, after initial application just give the tires a scrub in Spring, apply a coat or two and then no worries until next Spring. Tires start getting a little weak by winter but at that point, who cares...ride it thru winter, scrub/re-apply in Spring. Soap/water clean during washes. Been doing this since summer 2016 and tires always look fresh/clean.

I’ve been using the Armor All spray for convenience and you can hit the wheel wells too. But I still have some PERL, so I’m going to try that in a 1:1 mix next time.

Re: Your tire shine/gel/coating recommended product.
I really liked Duragloss 253. It worked pretty well on most tires, was easy to apply, and would last two or three weeks. The amount of shine could be adjusted by how many coats of the product you applied.
I'm using Optimum Tire Gel right now and not a fan. It looks OK when applied, but duribility is very short. If you apply it even slightly too heavy, it can get shiny pretty quickly. When I run out of the Optimum, I'm going to give PERL a try based on all the great reviews.

Duragloss #253 as well. Love the look. Lasts thru a few rains/car washes. And finally a tire product that DOES NOT SLING!! I am interested in the new Mc Kess 37 SiO2 Tire shine.

Perl is nice. It will last about as long as Optimum but to me Perl just looks better.
