Default Armor All Tire Shine

Wow. The new Armor All tire shine works awesome. Comes with an applicator pad and goes on without that annoying overspray. I applied it last weekend and the tires still look like I just wiped it on!

A truly killer combo is AA foam on the tires first. Let it set in and wipe off any excess. Then put the AA gel over top of it to seal it in. Both products are waterbased, so they dont attract dust. Looks killer.

Yep, superfly shiny. It was a pita to do for me, so now I just use the foaming pimp spray. Not as shiny as the armorall, but a lot faster to apply.

Nope, that's the AA gel in the orange (I think) bottle applied to a well scrubbed tire. The foam is about half that shiny.

What about armor all spray? I know you use it for your interior, but can it double and be used on the tires as well? I currently use Dupont Teflon tire spray, I love it. I did just buy a HUGE bottle of AA. I am worried that it would sling all over the place and leave my trucks underskirt a bit of a greasy mess.

I use to use regular aa on my tires just wipe runs and excess off and you won't have to worry about sling.I now like the foam stuff spray on and that's it.

It doesn't foam all over your rims? do you have kinda do more than 1 coat, such as to cover the entire tire? i just dont' like cleaning out each individual crevice when i apply the tire shine.

Yeah, that is what I have used, they are excellent, especially after you spent the past hours washing your truck, you dont' want to have to keep doing little touchups. Alrighty, I will look into the foam when my teflon spray is gone. Thanks.

This stuff is hands down better than AA, only issue is it's expensive but much better for tire shine! The cleaner does go quickly but melts the brake dust away really nice! You get free shipping on orders over 50.00 bucks and it's like 3 day delivery! If ya try it order more bottles of Cleaner than 3-N-Shine! I like this product only draw back is cost, but it makes my Michelins really look nice!
