Anyone knows how to gloss tires like these?

[swanicyouth]

For that look I would try some Mobil 10W30.

 

[FUNX650]

Wouldn't a good tire dressing make it easier and with better results?

Are you saying this method makes for a tire dressing?:doh:

What is your definition of good tire dressings?

Many car-care products have some glycerin...and a whole lot of water,
and silicone emulsions ("water-based" and "solvent-based")...

The OP did say he wanted a tire dressing that will make tires "glysten".

I really like DP Gloss Tire Gel. 2 coats and it is very shiny. I don't like shiny tires so a quick buff with an old terry cloth and you can control how much shine all the way to a matte natural rubber look. It repels water very good and lasts a long time. Oh yea, and no sling at all. A little goes a long way so it's pretty economical too.

My definition of a good tire dressing?

Well I want a dressing that will last at least a week or until my next wash.
A dressing that I can control the shine.
Easy to apply.
Easy to remove before applying my next application after a wash.
Water based.
One that I can dilute without losing good results
Some UV protection.

-Does your tire dressing meet all of the above criteria?
Please share it's name/product ID. Thanks.

-If it's water-based: does it have any silicones (think emulsion)?

-Any glycerin in it?

-Why just settle for "some UV protection".
And, as far as that goes: UV-protection from which UV-rays?

Many, many "water-based" tire dressings will not have much difficulty in meeting the other factors you listed as defining what you say constitutes "good tire dressings".

That might not be tire shine but a tire coating like Dupli-Color's stuff. It's like clear coat you just spray on. I've seen it a lot on trucks.

 

[Pureshine]

One question why?

 

[CowboyTruckn]

That is how I like mine to look, just dripping wet.... (drool)

 

[geekdout]

When looking at that picture keep in mind that the tire pictured is brand spanking new, never even seen a bit of dirt. If you look closely you can still see the tire manufactures sticker on the tread.

I like the Meg's Hyper dressing, love the look and uniform look.
I have this coating that's not easily found, it's a foam, once I protect it I maintain it using the Hyper.
Really not a big deal either way, I mean we are talking about tires, not paint.
Does the Hyper have silicone in it?
You know I never read that much into it,again we're talking about tires, if they look good to me than I'm happy with that and move on:dblthumb2:

Definitely tire appearance is a case of to each their own...

Oily, greasy, wet tire dressings are messy. When you wash your "vehicle" if you get your wash mitt next to or on the tire it turns you wash mitt all black with goopy stuf. If you touch it with your hands or clothes they get black.

Everyone that sees my tires likes them. Dark black, dry to the touch. Easy to maintain, no sling, no dust attraction.

Posted this yesterday, heck with the pictures, look what he said...

TUF Shine on Tommy's Tires


But yeah... gooey wet-look tires are a "look" some people like and if that's the look you're going for check out the areosol Meguiar's Insane Shine. Keep in mind, the end results all start with a surgically clean surface.



Best darn tire cleaning brush I've ever used!

[video=youtube_share;cxO6u2xSbIo"]Machine Scrubbing Monster Tires - YouTube[/video]​

Yep, the Porter Cable with a Cyclo brush mounted to it instead of the backing plate! Takes ALL the elbow grease out of getting old, slimy tire dressings off, blooming, (the brown residue that builds-up when antiozonants meet ozone in the air), and deteriorated dead rubber.

Here's the tires I need to clean. They have some type of slimy tire dressing on them and the white letters look kind of brownish...

I'm going to apply Tuf Shine and the directions for Tuf Shine state that all previously applied dressings need to be removed in order for the Tuf Shine Clearcoat. I started out using the Tuf Shine Brush and it as well as any good tire brush will get the job done but ding dang scrubbing tires surgically clean is a LOT of work and it's awkward because the tires are low to the ground and vertical faced.


First I sprayed on the Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner...

Then I let the machine do the work... now I'll let the pictures do the talking...

After scrubbing the tires clean I moved the Monte Carlo back into the studio to get the paint polished but here's how the tires look now, perfectly clean and ready for application of the Tuf Shine Clearcoat.

Let the machine do the work...
So if you already own a Porter Cable, Meguiar's G110v2 or Griot's Garage DA Polisher, then add a Cyclo brush or to and anytime you have any brush cleaning to do, let the machine do the work for you.

This is the Grey Ultra Soft Upholstery Brush...

Action shot!

There are 4 different brushes available so you can choose the aggressiveness of the brush bristles for your scrubbing job...

Mike,

Are you not concerned that your advice might kill someone? I was always taught not to mix water & electricity

 

[FUNX650]

Does the Hyper have silicone in it?
You know I never read that much into it,
again we're talking about tires,

if they look good to me than I'm happy with that and move on:dblthumb2:

Sorry...But IMHO:
Vehicle tires are a big deal.
Peoples lives are riding on them.

Regardless of what tire dressing product that is considered to make tires look good ("in the eye of the beholder"), they may actually contain chemicals that can have adverse affects on tires' structural integrity during their service-life.
Not good for folks to have the service-life of their vehicles' tires possibly be: catastrophically-shortened.

JMHO.

I thought the same thing and back in 2010 Meguiar's introduced their Unigrit Sanding Discs for use with their G110v2 dual action polisher for machine wetsanding.

There is a certain amount of common sense needed for operations like this but point well taken as common sense seems to becoming more and more rare.


For anyone reading this, use common sense and keep water away from any electrical tool and always use a GFI or Ground Fault Interrupter when using electrical tools. If your electrical outlets do not offer GFI then you can get a dedicated GFI at any hardware store.

Looks and works like this...

For the last few years I've been showing a lot of people how to take their electric dual action polishers and turn them into machine wet sanders as well as how to take their Porter Cable, Griot's Garage and Meguiar's G110v2 dual action polishers and turn them into machine scrubbers for rubber, vinyl, non-skid decks on boats, etc.


Wet Test
There are no electric tools that will pass the wet test. That's where an electrical tool is tested by blasting it with water.


Common Sense
I've never been electrocuted when machine sanding or machine scrubbing tires but I also use common sense when using any tools anywhere.

Your saying the wrong tire shine can shorten your tire's life or blow it up?

Don't you think that is a little paranoid?

 

[hernandez.art13]

^ So if the tire dressing makes your tires "blow up." Then you would really be bringing out the pop ?

 

[FUNX650]

No, I really don't.


But evidently you do:
Is a tire that undergoes a "blow-out"...
the same as a tire that experiences getting "blown up"?

"This little light of mine: I'm gonna let it shine..."

I was driving along and all of a sudden


Boom!!!

(Used wrong tire shine)

I'm just kidding you Bob.

I know that...
I always enjoy a lively discussion.
Even when I blow things up, way out of proportion.

turtle wax black tire coat is pretty insane, and it lasts for what seems like forever. however, do not apply it in any type of wind as its an aerosol and a pain to get off your paint and windows

No offence but IMO that is the worst product ive ever used for any detailing purpose.... Its basically a can of clear coat spray paint that is nearly impossible to remove once it starts to fade into a rainbow effect. On top of that the over spray will cover your entire car including the windows which will create a blinding effect when the sun hits it. Absolute junk.
