Default Best Tire shine?

I like my 992 tires shiny. I have tried several products but nothing lasts more than a few days. Does anybody have any recommendations? thanks

Chemical Guys has a really nice enhancer. I’ve used it on my powersport machine and truck. Lasts a long time and easy to apply.

There are a number of options that are good out there.

I like Gyeon Tire for a longer lasting dressing option. If you don't want a lot of shine, let it soak in for a few minutes then wipe away any excess to get a good, matte black finish.

If you want other options, the Obsessed Garage Tire Dressing and CarPro Perl both work well and leave a nice finish, though they don't last quite as long.

I use Maintex “Pro-Tex-All.” It works great!

I was impressed with this product on my truck tires.

Haven't used it on the Porsche yet but like that it doesnt rub off onto hands/clothing and wont spray up the side of the car either.

If you’re referring to VRP I agree.

The "wet look" will never last very long. That's just the nature of the tyre shine products.

+1 For Car Pro Perl, although it doesn’t give that shiny wet appearance if that’s what you’re into.

I looked at a lot of reviews and decided to give this a try. I have not used it yet.

Lots of the stuff being posted does not give a wet look. They are designed to make the tires look black and have a matte or satin look. If you want wet, I'd stick w/ the old fashioned Armor All, spray liberally onto the tires (use a big round template to block the rims) and it will give your tires a wet shiny look.

Yeah, and then you can get it all over the car as soon as you hit rain. Stuff like that always ends up slathered up the sides of the car.

That's generally true, but some - like the Adam's i posted - do have more of a gloss look. Nothing will be a shiny as the goop that grabs dust, lasts 3-4 days and sprays all over the body panels. But life is trade offs.

What I posted does maintain a shiny look…..





This was nearly a week AFTER washing my car (…washed Tuesday and these pics were taken Sunday).

+1 for PERL

You can get it a little bit towards shiny if you apply another coat about an hour or so after the first coat and don't wipe it off. It doesn't sling and lasts a little bit longer than the usual application.

I am a fan of Ammo Mud. Its not greasy, its more matte in terms of its finish, but still very nice. Zero sling.
