[Fe Maiden]

whatever you call it. Any recommendations?

I use Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Spray...or if you want a gel they have a hot shine tire gel kit..you can get these at walmart or any auto store

I'm really pleased with the Meguiars Endurance tire gel. Just get a foam applicator and your set.

I don't like anything in a spray bottle, it gets messy.

I've been using this for a few years:

Apply that and then spray some undercarriage spray to top it off:

Are you looking for stupid shiny or matte? Theres quite a few. I'd recommend water-based dressings since the silicone ones brown out your tire. Sure the water ones aren't as durable but I like not using an APC to clean off the brown gunk from the silicone one. So which one is it?

Black Magic tire foam best that I have used.

I for sure do not want something to "brown out" the tires!

For you guys I'd recommend something water based. Finish Kare #108, Swissvax Pneu, Zaino Z16 come to mind. I use FK108 and it lasts just as long as Swissvax and Zaino. Another option is ShowroomFX "White Pearl"

So far only the straight week of rains in SoCal have dented a fresh layer of FK108. They're a nice super dark matte black now

So where do you get this FK108? And, yeah, the rains have been brutal this week!

Hot Shine is silicone or oil based too. Its still beading water on my driveway after 6 months as well



I like to experiment with stuff. Best use for Hot Shine is to spray my wheel wells on the street. Before I did that, well, the results are on the driveway

I like gels over the sprays.

^^Use a tire applicator when using sprays. No overspray on rims and also no sling since its a light layer
