I'm gettin frustrated! I've narrowed my desired products down to "More Shine, Less Time" spray or Meguiar's "Gold Class Endurance High Gloss". With MSLT, I get overspray and end up detailing the whole car again unless I do the tires before cleaning the car. I can only do that if the car doesn't need a wash. If I use the Meguiars, I get spin off even if I rewipe the tires again the next day. Anybody have any suggestions or does everyone put up with the same crap?

Apparently the NXT tire shine is amazing.

i've never gotten spin off. u must be using alot. i put a pretty small amount on the applicator and dab around the tire and run the applicator around the tire. its just enough to get a low black shine. i hate glossy sidewalls and spray on stuff. or try spraying onto the applicator first

I've tried Armor-all wet shine spray, and gel (gets stuck in sidewall pattern). Use the spray with a foam applicator to spread it and voila. I've also used turtlewax wet shine,( not as good), meguairs HOT SHINE (not as bright), Black Magic (best of both worlds).

gel of anything and spray. just let it sit on there over night and there will be no spin off. dont apply and then go redline the car in every gear. also apply to a tire applicator .dont spray it on.

I think this is what I have. It leaves a deep black look, rather than wet look right?
It also smells so good. I would enjoy spraying tires all night
I love it, always park my car for the night and every few days just spray those tires and wheel wells down so liberally since I get cans real cheap from work. Always keeps my car looking sharp

werd. Just a bit more than a dime-size dab on the applicator and work it all the way around the tire.
