Check out detailyourcar.com. They have everything you could need and there Blue Ice tire dressing works great. Don't over pay for name brand.

Chemical Guys G6 Hypercoat is what I am using on my tires right now. Love it!!!

When i want an even more wet finish, I use CG VRT.

I just bought some C6. Once my summer wheels get back on the car, those things are getting coated with that.

Handz what do you polish your wheels with?

The nice thing about the products at detailyourcar.com is you can buy just about anything. Alot of it is a comparable alternative to any other bulk product. If you want ultimate shine on those tires then get some magic tire dressing and a tire dressing applicator sponge!!!

For almost everything, I don't care much for ArmorAll products. But I started using their Extreme Shine Tire Gel some months back, and man does it look good! I use it on the exterior vinyl as well. One time, I only did the driver side of the car. A whole month later, sitting out in the rain, snow, sun, everything else, you could still see the exact line where I stopped using it on the front piece of vinyl under the windshield wipers. And it still looked good!

I'm sure all those other products listed work just fine, but if they are actually a measurable amount better than the ArmorAll gel that I use, then it is badass!

G6 Hypercoat is one of our most popular dressings. Its gives an OEM shine that is smooth and classy. Its a great choice for a smooth look.

If you guys are looking for a very WET tire shine that is thick and can also work on Interior and Exterior surfaces, Try out VRP. Our new formula of VRP is designed to be water proof and last even longer.

Grab a 16oz and give it a try!!

I'm sure this has been covered but if you can, try and buy a tire shine product that doesnt have any petroleum distiliates in it. I know your not in AZ like me and a few others here, but it accelerates the aging process of a tire ( slang term= dry rot/weather checking on the tires) Ive seen tires completely wasted in a lil over a year from tire shine products with cracks so wide in the sidewalls that you could fit a quarter into. That shouldnt happen for ATLEAST 5 years or older out here. Just my $.02
