Black Magic Tire Gel

This is a gel thats applied to the sidewalls using a sponge. It shines very well however after a day or so dust seems to stick to the gel and after a while its clumpy and disgusting. my friends would never touch my tires cuz this stuff is nasty and black. you'd have to get a coarse brush to brush it all off and i was too lazy and just bought some new tires.

so anyway the tire gel shines good but is not worth the shine it offers. i'm going back to armorall tire foam.

I've used it, and never had a problem, and some of the dirty places my car has been would make you shudder... maybe you just had too much gooped on there, as you said.

imported_Sincere is an unknown quantity at this point
I haven't found one tire shine product that doesnt do that exact thing to me every single time.

Use westleys white wall tire cleaner, it will clean all of that junk off and it is very inexpensive.

what i heard to do from a friend. is apply the fluid. whatever one you want to use. it all does the same thing. (we use this stuff at work. it's a pain bendin to put tire dressing on 70 different cars!!) anyway after applying it, use a cloth or paper towel and wipe it down. you still have a shiney tire, but most of the dirt-clingant is removed when you wipe it down. and there ya go! dressed tires without the fuss of oil grimey results

armor all is the worst thing you can do to your tires, we used to get alot of leaking tires on the sidewall from dry rot in less than a year the owners all used armor all
