    Whatever tireshine you bu, be sure not to spray too much of it onto your wheels...BECAUSE WHEN YOU DRIVE IT WILL BE THROWN ONTO YOUR FENDERS. I usually spray some onto a cloth, and then wipe my wheels with it. Ill then let it dry for about 10 minutes, and then apply another coat. After that, i then let it dry for about 20 minutes. Its always good to make sure you lets that stuff dry, because it will leave nice lovely grease spots all on your fenders :P

    Yup Megs does a really nice job at complimenting the tires, Clean tires seems to always make the car stand out so much better than dirty ones. Always remember to clean your tires first!!! :D

    I've always used Eagle One Wet Tire Shine with great results.

    I've also used a product called Zep Tireless Shine. It gets used up quick, but works great.

    The reason your tires are brown is because you still have too much dirt on the tires. You need to scrub those tires with a good solution, then I would also recommend using the Meguiars in the spray bottle. And buy the Eagle One sponge wipes, they're pretty much just a gray sponge that works great. Applies better than a towel and doesnt soak up all your "tire shine" like a towel does. Try that...

    Just use one of those sponges that you clean your dishes with, you wont get your wheels ever again.

    x2 i use this stuff. it works great, lasts a long time, is easy to apply, and its inexpensive.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    I use this stuff:



    Has a dial to adjust the spray nozzle for either high/medium/low profile tire to spray the tire shine accurately and not getting it on the wheel or fenders. I let my sit for a bit and drive the car and doesn't splatter on the fenders. The shine lasts for awhile too...I applied the stuff on my fiance's Endeavor about 2 weeks ago and the tires are still shiny.
