What do you all use for tire shine? I have been looking for a good one for a while now but have had bad luck in the past with dry rot induced in part by the products i used.
I've never heard of tire rot due to dressings but I can imagine it would happen.
I usually do it for the opposite reason, UV protection is an aspect of many of the coatings.
I think I'm the only one in my group of friends who likes a slick tire but I've used all sorts of them and my current go-to is the Griots Garage tire dressing offerings. I have the aerosol can because it was free but I plan on getting the gel version next to test.
I use Griots tire dressing. Not super slick looking, but you can apply more if that’s your cup of tea. It’s water based so it shouldn’t induce dry rot.
I used to use one from CDN tire...can't remember the name now but it had a foam applicator and a nice thick goo that didn't leave too much shine. I've found though with a white car it doesn't matter how much I scrub the tire, let the tire compound on to dry in the sun i still got 'flick' marks on the fender & door.. so i stopped using and just wash the brake dust off the tire. meh..
good enough for me i guess.
303 is good - they have a new product specifically for tires - I don't find it any better than there general protectant - its cheap though like 12 bucks. I would just by a gallon of the regular protectant and just use that though.
