If you're buying dressing at Mirror Glaze, it's one of two brands... PRO Products or Meguiar's.

If it is by the gallon, my money is on PRO because they're just not carrying many of the D-Line gallons (although they have a few - not many dressings though).

Maybe it's Meguiar's #40? Is it in a beige container?

I've seen the Michelin tire shine used and it does look pretty darn good, I'll give em credit.

I just bought the Armor All tire gel that comes with the applicator sponge, I put it on my truck, the wife's minivan and my trailer. after one day no slinging off onto the paint like some others do. Very nice shine. I will report back after a few days on the longevity of the product.

BTW don't be fooled when you apply this and it looks something like what makes babies:
See mayonnaise, ranch dressing or any **** movie and you'll understand.

I like it because it covers the tread on the sidewalls with ease. I always go back over with an Eagle One tire swipe to even it out and leave a nice matte finish. I always used it on my Camaro, and always received many compliments on the finish.

Pro Products...

It's a product called Prime Shine - I think. The older guy in there probably sold it to you.... he's the owner.

You buy this product by the gallon which, when diluted can make up to 4-gallons of matte-shine dressing. High-shine will yield 2-gallons.

I took RocKPicks advice a while back and bought some of this. I mix it 3 to 1and it looks perfect everytime. Not too shiny, more like a... I just bought the tires look. Easy to apply, very little sling, and very durable. I highly recommend it.

Armor All Gel update, 2 days out and it still shines like new, however I am starting to notice little black dots down both sides of my white truck, it still slings off the tire, while not as bad as others I have tried.

I used some about 3 weeks ago the last time I washed. It doesn't get driven a lot and hasn't been in the rain (we haven't had any to drive it in even if I wanted to) but has had about a tank of gas put through it since washing. I've wiped the braked dust off a couple of times and the shine is still there. Nowhere near the "black glass" look when originally applied but still a higher gloss than I normally shoot for.

All of my sling was taken care of on the first two drives. I think that was just because of the product accumulating in the side tread during application. If I had wiped that a little better I don't think I would have had any.

Meguairs Trim Shine is also great for wells too, applies a little thinner (resulting in less run off) to the surface as opposed to the tire specific shines.

Meguiars Hot Tires goes on the tires.

Wally Hell used to have it on the shelf but, I think they've dropped the line. Pep Boys doesn't have it (at least not here) and I know I've not seen it at any of the 'mart' parts stores (Advanced, Otter Zone, OReiley's).

Might be an order it only type of part...

Also, just to let anyone who is interested know....

I'm going to experiment with this product very soon...



I have a bottle sitting here and will report back once I've tried it.

I have seen the Michelin product either at WM or one of the big chain parts stores just in the last two weeks. In a couple of them actually.

I can't remember off the top of my head which ones.

Auto Zone I saw it there Yesterday. At least the shelf tag anyway. There wasn't any on the shelf. So I asked about it, and clerk said, they were sold out.

Must be some good stuff. There was a helluva lot of the other same type products.
