Every tire shine i've tried i absolutely hated. most oil based made a huge mess and just attracted dirt. I stumbled across this on your tube from ChrisFix's review and I had to try it:

https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-T...70334915&sr=8-1&keywords=turtle+wax+jet+black

I just put 2 coats on, AMAZING look. This pic was taken about 2 hours after I put it on, i'll update in a week or so. it's suppose to last like 3-4+ months. we will see....

I have been using that Turtle Wax on my tires for years. My cars are garaged when parked and one application has lasted over 6 months. You can find it at Walmart and most auto stores.:cheers:

I tried it in January this year, it worked well for 2 months. I still have some left so I will reapply and see if it lasts longer this time.

Recently converted to Adams Super VRT. No sling, not greasy (goes on almost dry!) and leaves a nice dark look.

been using this stuff, leaves tires shinny for several weeks and then just a deep black after that. I apply a new coat around once a month.

I live on a short (couple hundred feet) gravel road and no dust sticks to it either since it doesn't leave a film or greesy mess. Nothing flings up off them either since it dries in minutes.

A friend of mine told me about the Turtle Wax JB tire coat at a car meet one night. I picked up a box shortly thereafter and it's the only product I use now.

It doesn't leave a super glossy shine for me, but rather, it's like a semi-gloss new tire kind of look. I love it. It will last me for about 3-4 weeks, goes on very easily, dries super quickly, and doesn't sling down the side of the car.

As long as Turtle Wax is making this product, I won't be using anything else!

I use Meguiar's Endurance gel. It's hit and miss on how long it lasts, but I love the look. The first application it's pretty glossy, which looks sweet against my PP black wheels. But, the heavy gloss is gone in a couple days and keeps a nice slightly shiny, clean and black tire look. It doesn't attract dirt. At the moment it's been about 2 weeks and the tires still look good. That's about as long as I've got it to last. As long as it's looking good I don't wash the tires or spray them directly. I just wash the wheels and whatever water hits the tires is fine. When they start to fade (tires look much dirtier with black wheels) I go ahead and hit them with Bleche White and a brush, then dry and a new application of gel.

The stuff may last longer under different conditions, but I drive my car every day (even in the rain unless it's freshly washed and forecast calls for high percentage of rain for multiple days) and have a 70 mile round trip commute. It's also kept outside day to day unless I don't plan on driving it for a few days, in which case I swap it out with my truck for some carport time. If it was garaged nightly, staying out of water, pollen, road dust, etc, it would probably last at least 4 weeks.

I just realized you werent looking for a new shine. just posting one you found. i'd be blown away if that lasts more than a few weeks. how can the stuff not wash off after multiple months when the tire is getting sprayed via car washing regularly?

It sprays on from an aerosol can. It forms like a clear coat paint on your tires. It works:headbang:

303 protectant works great also. Makes my tires black again without the oily/greasy effect.
