Huge fan of shiny tires

I like a medium shine.I use ArmourAll Extreme shine in the trigger spray can. I doesn't fly off driving down the road.
 
I like shiny tires on my 350z. I put two coats of Meg's Endurance and it lasts a long time. On my SUV and minivan I like a medium shine/sheen. One coat of endurance does the trick. I don't like the natural look. Why have beautiful shiny paint and nicely polished rims only to have dull looking tires?

Natural doesn't mean dull. Natural means black without shine.

Undressed (100% clean):


Natural:


Satin:


Shiny: I don't have any pics of shiny.

Out of the 3. I'd pick the satin. (Just me)

Having a shiny picture would really compliment your portfolio. IMO and just saying.

Thanks for the pictures :xyxthumbs:

Thats very nice looking. only thing that draws me away from armourall tire shine is that it doesnt last long at all...thats just my own experience though. Are you getting much longevity out of it or just spraying often?
 
i like shiny but not at the max level. basically i want it to be obvious the tires have been dressed but like i said not an over the board type of way. i like one coat of cg vrp currently
 
I too enjoy a nice, shiny tire over a matte/satin look. In my arsenal right now is PERL and PB BnB. I also have Opti-Bond but I don't think it gives the look that I am after. Maybe layering it would achieve my desired level of shine but I know the PERL has done it superbly thus far.

Pockets: those pictures you posted is the best PB advertising EVER! Great look!
 
I like the matte or satin look. Having said that I understand why all the different products are produced and everyone can make their own choice. When I see clean natural tires, shiny tires, satin or matte tires I respect that the person takes pride and the effort to get them clean. One thing with natural tires you know they have them clean. Dressing can cover up a lot. One thing I don't like to look at is natural tires covered with filth and browning/blooming. I suppose one of these days the rubber tire color will match the car paint too.
 
Meh. It depends on the car. Super shiny tires remind me of Armour All. That being said, the look PB's Bold N Bright gives looks more refined to me. When the tires look "wet", they usually are with greasy goo.

Here is one I took tonight of my DD with Tuff Shine. Best part about TS, they stay looking like this through rain, snow, and washing:

Above tires the day I got them, no Tuff Shine:

I think this is BnB on my BMW:

I have to say SHINY. I like No Touch and Blue Magic (espically for 4 bucks a kit at big lots!). yea it slings a little, but like was said^ wipes off with QD real fast.

Clean...Yes.
Shiny...No.

I've noticed some tire brands' sidewall-designs tend to impart a "shiny look",
no matter the type of tire-dressing it wears.

All of my customers prefer the natural (no shine) look. My customers insist that if I am going to use anything shiny on their tires then don't put anything on at all.
 
I like just a satin type shine, I don't want to bring attention to the tires, wheels yes.
CG'S VRP has that shine I want, it shines but it doesn't have that wet look , and if you wipe off after applying it you only see rich ,dark looking tires that last.
