Hey guys so far ZAINO has been a miracle on my car. I am almost finished with Zaino's tire primer. It is good BUT it lacks the "shine" where all the other oil-based primer give off. I know I have to make a sacrifice if I don't want all that oil crap on the side of my car.

Anyone know any other tire shiner that gives off a brilliant shine W/O leaving all that crap at the side of the wheelwell? I think pretty much 99% of the primer that we see in stores are made of oil .

thanks.

Richie

Please be carefull with oil based tire products.
Oil dissolves rubber. It can damage your tire.

D-MAN63

Yeah, luckily I was aware of that. I found that out by my Zaino dealer. Unfortunately 99% of the primers are full of oil . There gotta be some thing out there that has no oil and leaves a brilliant shine. I can't take either, or.

Richie

I work in a car parts shop. I know we have something but I don't know what the brand is. I'll check it for you and get back to you about it.

D-man,

I use ArmorAll Tire Foam Spray. A nice shine, but not super ghetto shine....there may be 'oil' in it, silicone I think. I've never had any problems with any of the tires on which I've used it...and, nothing gets thrown up on the sides of my car.

Richie

Again I would like to warn every one that oil and rubber don't mix.
Oil will attack rubber and will weaken it. You won't see it in the beginning, but under presure you can get a tire failure.
Please be carefull.
Also I would not advise a silicone based product.

I wonder what does the dealer use ? The cars in the showroom have a great shine on there tires.

I'll have to remember to ask next time i go .

Whatever it is, it'll end up all over the side of your car. For years, I've specified "no tire shine" when I've taken in my ride for service. Doesn't matter if it stays on all day to dry. I've had them wipe off as much as possible when it's been accidentally applied........even then, I'm washing it off the sides a couple of days later. Yuck.

there are all kinds of products out there to use that shouldn't contain any petro products or oils; I found a ton when doing some research on detailing products

carcareonline has a few
griots
meguiars

for me, its just convenient to pick up a can of stuff that has always worked well for me at Wally World....

Dieselman, I forgot to check it today.
Sorry man, I'll check it tomorrow.

WATER

to bad it doesn't last

Richie, thanks for the help man !



Lexusrules, yeah man, water looks the BEST. But too bad it lasts 5 minutes.

I am using Eagle 1 right now, and it looks great on the tire, stays on nicely too. I've also used Turtle Wax and Meguire's tire gel - these two are good products. I don't believe either of them contan petrolium products. They protect against your tires turning brown. Like Dexter I pick them up at Wal-Mart, or K-Mart, etc.

WET Tire is the best.....no problems

Maguires last the longest.....

D-MAN63

LexRx, CSHFLW, I too thought meguiars tire gel was the best and last the longest. It does as a matter of fact BUT unfortunately that thing is FULL of oil ! . The more oil you got in the product the shinier it will become.
