| Stay away from Armor All, its junk and will turn your tires brown as you have seen already. The best stuff to use is water based tire shine, it doesnt last as long as the gels but it wont fuck your tires up either. Check out our vendor section, Perfect Auto Finish sells water based tire shine, they are in Roselle.

| i use "Tuf-shine" you have to buy it online.
its a tire clear coat. you can touch it and rub it less than 5 minutes after you put it on and it wont come off even on a white towel. its not cheap though. it comes with a tire pre-cleaner too. i found it because of this video on youtube that a lxforum member put up.
before that i was using turtle wax tire wax but they discontinued that product. tuf-shine is way better anyways. _________________  2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

| I use the Lucas tire shine that is water based but it doesnt last long at all. But it does look good for a few days and does not sling. I have to look into that Perfect Auto Finish stuff. |

Looks good, but it slings too much and will eventually turn your tires brown.
