Anybody see this stuff yet. Saw it at Discount Auto - goes on like tire gel, but has pretty green, red, or yellow glitter that stays on the tire. Oh boy, I hope the riced out pink Hyundai Excel down the street tries some - I'll try to have my camera ready. How many ponies might this stuff be good for?

At least 50+, that is if he has a K&N drop in :p

haha i got some as a gift, and i might try it, dont make fun! :rolleyes:

i use silver on my car, you can hardly see the color. Red might look good on a red car, green on green etc. but otherwise it would look bad. I think it's nice, i have taken pics but none show enough detail. The color is subtle, however, you'll never get the glitter permanently off your tire. It was worth the $6 but I don't know if I'll use it regularly.

I think I'll buy some of that stuff and put a ton of coats on my roommate's K-car while he's out of town.. Just one tire. I think it'd make the car look pretty good.

Reminds me of a time in high school when we whitewalled a kid's tire (just one) with white spray paint. He was pretty pissed, but we all thought it was funny!

ROTFLMFAO i thought it was funny

So YOU'RE the one!

i use the blue tire tint and it works reasonably well if u put on a clear coat when you are down...i used some enamel and that kept it on for a few days

Trust me, stay away from this product. I bought the red about 2 months ago and tried it on the car. First off you'll never to get it to look as good as what it is on the box. Second it takes many applications to get to where it's seen. To me it looked better in the garage without much light verse outside at high noon.

Now the bad part. It never truly dries and remains gummy so after a week I had this pasty road grime all over the tires. Quite frankly it was a ***** to get off. I tried just about every kind of soap and brush to get the red off the tire and it's still slightly there.

I could see myself using it for a one time use again but I'd make sure I remove it at the end of the day. Here's a pic to see what it does look like though. The first on top is with Turtle Wax Tire Wax and the bottom 2 with the Black Magic.

try blue one looks GREAT!
