Hello all I'm a bit OCD when it comes to detailing. I'm searching for a tire shine that DOESN'T get streaky, attract dirt or spray up onto the car. I've tried many different brands but CG works best for me. VRP is shiny af but doesn't last, G6 the shines meh unless you soak the tires and leave it overnight it doesn't sling up onto car but doesn't shine more than a few days, the v07 is great but once its wet its gone and all the cheap shit I've tried will shine for 2 days and attracts every bit of dirt until I thoroughly clean the wheels. I just ordered silk shine from CG does anyone have any recommendations possibly from another brand?
thanks

The adams, the meguirs endurance and the chemical guys are the top rated, I have used the CM and Meguiars and are good but my go to is the Meguiars hot shine, the one with the blue cap, its a quick spray that doesn’t stain my garage, driveway or my wheels and it last pretty long.

Im finishing up a bottle of VRP but will switch to Carpro Perl soon.


1:1 for tires
1:5 for interior trim


Doesn't leave a slimy film, super dark shine.

EDIT: I detailed cars through college at a new car dealership that had a pretty high standard for detailing and try to stay relevant today on products. Having clean and try tires (scrub with suds until the suds are white and clean) is the most important part.

I use 303 tire balm and protectant because you can get the clean satin look or the super shiny greasy look depending on how many coats you use. I don't like the shiny greasy look, so one coat works well for me. It also plays nice with the felt type finish some of the Michelin tires have.

I use turtle wax foam, because it’s cheap, works good and is easy to apply.

This. I was a big fan of this stuff when I tried it. I've always used Hot Shine in the past and currently. When I used the Turtle Wax foam I made a cardboard cutout of my wheel so I wouldnt get overspray on it. But the foam leaves the tries with a hard shell coating which feels really nice and sheds water/dirt off for a while and keeps it looking wet for a while
