Shining Monkey Tire Shine

Hey all

I'm a bit skeptical about this claim from Shining Monkey,

Shining monkey doesn't spit up on your car, it doesn't fling, sling or get messy on your freshly cleaned paint. Notice our competitors products. They are greasy, spotty and runny, our revolutionary formula gets sprayed on the tires and stays there! Just where it was intended to shine, also giving protection. Put us to the test!!

So I was wondering if anyone used it as yet? I tried too many s*** in the pass to get another product that doesn't work.

let me know if n e 1 used it b 4.

thanx

I have never used that, but I am very happy with the Meguires spray, it makes the tires look nice and wet and yet is dry to the touch. Not sure what it is called when I go home for lunch I can get the name, used to use their gel but it was a pain to out on and if you touched the tire it left a nasty black crap on you.

I use turtle wax tire wax and it doesn't fling off. It does leave nasty black crap on you if you touch it though.

you get less of the black crap if you scub the tires 1st with a tire cleaner and a good brush, then spray the tire wet look stuff on, and this is key now, allow it to dry for an hour or so.

hEY gUYS Why should ANYONE have to wait an hour to drive their car??!! What are you nuts? hehehe... I use Shining Monkey.... Lemme just tell you... when u clean your car and wash your tires... spray this stuff on and BAHM, you are done. by the time you roll up the hose and jump in the car you can haul *** down the street without hesitation.

Im very skeptical myself Evolgirl but i tried it at a show in Miami and it spoke for itself... and im not even jokin.. give it a try and give the "monkey" a chance to proove itself ;-)

Johnjon I dont think you used the shining monkey product properly. It is just as shiney if not more so than anything on the market PLUS it stays on your tires for weeks not days and doesnt spit up on the paint..the monkey is cute too.
