Good job on this thread mygreengt. Everybody has their own opinions but I must say that I like the spray better than foam or gel. Right now im using turtle wax gel in a green bottle. Only using it because it was a free so I'm still on the look out. I think I'm going w/ Eagle 1 next go around.

Hey wytstang, Would you willing to trade away Some of your Wolfgang Tire Gel?

I have CG VRP If you wanna make a trade. I can be Generous with the VRP :angel4:

Don't need any more tire dressing but I do have some stuff taking up space that I have never used. Do you have any Ziano products? Interested in some Z2 Pro if you have any (only lsp I'm interested in right now [over stocked as is]). Pm me if you have any non CG products you wouldn't mind trading away.

aerosol BS here....looking for a GOOD water based tire dressing. I HATE the orange tires a week after i put tire shine on. How do y'all clean your tires before applying tire dressing? I want to get all the silicon shit off and put something decent on.

mygreengt · Oct 7, 2010

i found out that dawn dish soap and a stiff bristle brush works really good for me

Dalamar · Oct 7, 2010

stiff bristle brush is key.
if soap doesn't work, a good degreaser and some umph.

SRT Handz · Oct 7, 2010

I was actually outside cleaning my wheels and tire right now.

To get the tires clean, I always use APC with a stiff bristle brush. This gives clean surface for the tire wet to grab to!!

Sinned83 · Oct 8, 2010

Handz which AP do you use? Is it the green CG that can clean a million different things?

So I just tried Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Shine while washing my car for the weekend.

Pretty Good Stuff. VERY Glossy. It went on kinda weird, It was very milky and I thought it would end up drying Matte looking, But it ended up Drying WET. I think i like the Look!!!

I use either Meguires Hot Tire Shine aerosol or CG Silk Shine Dressing depending on my mood. The Meguires aerosol is a little wetter, but the CG Silk Shine gives a really nice semi-wet look. Very clean.

I find everyone likes their own tire shine. Guess there are too many out there, huh?

I use hooker spit. Works everytime.

mygreengt · Oct 10, 2010

It is a bit weird when drying. and it lasts a good 3-4 weeks.

I like that it leaves very little residue :thumbsup:
