Does anyone know of the kind of stuff they use at the car wash where they actually paint on the grease..because there stuff always looks better and lasts longer than my spray on stuff
I could care less if my tires shine.. Now my wheel's, those have to be nice and cleanlarchmont said:Do most of y'all actually do anything to the tire?
thats pretty much what the applicator does just with less hassle.robert_tsxgeek said:I have read some guy pour the tire shine stuff out of the spray & keep in container.
And he'd use a brush to "paint" the stuff on the tires after he cleans the wheels.- no spraying.
Yes, it's only to gloss-up the black for visual purposes. Tyres without shine applied loses lustre over time through element exposure particularly from sunlight. While there is no improvement or adverse effects when using tyre shine, if anything it is a hazard which can cause slip or loss of traction when cornering.larchmont said:Still nobody has said.....What is this kinda stuff FOR????
Soooooo......this doesn't bother anybody? :donno:CL9 K24a said:Yes, it's only to gloss-up the black for visual purposes.

I highlight the key phrase because the general consensus would agree they simply shake the bottle and spray the tyrewalls to their hearts content. Should you have mentioned you use an application, that'll be a different story.tony4311 said:actually I apply plenty. Just because you can't use it withough patches or flinging problems doesn't mean I can't. Spray it on the applicator then put it on.
It specifically states not to put it on the tread. It's just for sidewall. What you mean about "gravity"? it just dries up unless you put too much on. then it can drip down.larchmont said:Yup, that's basically what I'm talking about too.
So I guess you just put it on the sidewall.....
But what about "gravity"? Plus people not knowing what they're doing.
