Default Tire Shine!

I CAN'T STAND THE 'WET' LOOK ON TIRES. I've used everything under the sun, even made my own mix.. is there anyting out there that sinks in to give a deep 'flat' black? Thanks!!!

Onelowufo, glad to see someone else sees the value in the satin look, or Natural look. Most tire dressings found in auto supply stores are solvent based. Or pure silicone. In either case, solvent will break down rubber over time. PLus the "sling" will stain your finish. Their is no value to solvent dressings that I know of. (other than giving the tire an artificial look) Believe it or not, most dealerships tend to go with the solvent dressing because they think the high shine attracks customers. I only use a water based dressing, it will give you the look you are after, plus your tires will love you for it. You can find it on my web site. Gary

I agree with IRPT. Gary's dressing provides a very nice looking finish that does not look "wet". Very natural easy to put on.

And for what it is worth, try some of Gary's other items.
