    Default Best tire dressing?

    What is the best tire dressing that one can buy at the stores? I saw one at the AJC car show that is a spray on, not foam, that doesnt leak and even when you rub your finger across it, it doesnt smear and you dont feel grease on your finger. anyone know which it could be?

    BLUE ICE...comes in a little tub and its a blue gel stuff you put on with a sponge....doesn't fling off, doesn't get wet and rinse off, lasts a good month or two depending on how ofter you drive (but you can scrub it off with a rag if you want)

    tire dressing is very detrimental to rubber..it acts as a baste and amplifies the suns rays and pulls all the moisture out of the tires and causing them to dry rot.

    tire shine ruined a set of my tires, sidewalls were all cracked...I use nothing now..

    Meguiars also has the Endurance in a spray can. It's expensive, but ultra easy to apply. The nozzle even can be adjusted to how wide or narrow you wanna spray.

    i'm trying to tell you guys, the blue ice stuff is the shit...i've used it on 1,000's of cars and NEVER had anything but perfect results, i put this stuff all over ferrari's, porsches, bmw's etc and would certianly trust it on anything else...if you are scared to ruin your tires but still like the tire shine look then get some of this stuff, i promise you will not be let down. its not a spray or anything though, its a gel, like spreading peanut butter on your tires but they shine wonderfully. i used this for a year of detailing and this is the only thing i ever use on my personal cars too.

    ok, my infomercial is over...but it just bugs me that people really still think that all tire shine just dries out your tires.

    ...and from just reading on this website this stuff is like suntan lotion too...lol, well not really but it says this: "Blue IceŽ contains UV inhibitors to protect against the sun’s harmful rays. S-67 Blue IceŽ Tire and Trim Gel may be applied on both wet and dry surfaces. Safe for all rubber, vinyl and plastic. Contains NO VOC’s."
