Are you using the Meguiar's Endurance tire shine? If so, apply one light coat, let it setup for about 15 minutes, then hit it again with another moderate coat. I advise you to wait at least an hour before driving, otherwise you will spin tire shine all over your car.

sxygrlracer, post a pic and I'll give you more info. J/K, check out zaino at http://www.zainostore.com -- it's a fully synthetic paint protectant, not a wax. Check out the gallery for some seriously shiny rides. Excellent stuff, I recommend it to everyone I know who actually enjoys taking care of their car's finish.

I am going to Zaino my wheels on my next Zaino day, before my local car show. I've had Meguiar's on those wheels before. The tire shine that Zaino makes is awesome. I haven't seen it fade yet and it's been almost 2 weeks since I've applied 2 coats on. One coat doesn't make it bling blingy (I also don't like the tires too shiny). Their tire shine even makes dirt and sand repel, since they formulated some antistatic stuff in there. Oh yea...Zaino really smells good too, the carwash is something you'd wanna drink!

I had to shrink them to be put on the forums. The originals are 1600x1200.

I used Black Magic's Tire Wet on my tires. I like Meguiars Endurance..but can't find it anymore around here.

Here are the links to the 1600x1200 pics

Yeah it's like liquid candy. The Meguiar's Endurance Gel smells like grape candy too. How is it that these companies can create products that LOOK and SMELL like candy but are highly toxic, while there's still a law that says you can't make clear windshield wiper fluid??

I agree Meguiar's Endurance gel is great it doesnt really run on spin off. I was using black magic but it would coat my enkies with black **** and spin off all over the car.

Yeah the endurance gel will only run if you GOB it on there. It's also not black so it won't show up as easily. It tends to collect on your paint behind the wheels.
