I used BLACKFIRE All-In-One Trim & Tire Protectant for the first time yesterday.

It is very nice product. It did an AWESOME job on the mirrors of my D.D.HHR. Very nice!

I went over the tires about 3 times. The tires looked really nice at first,but over time they dried to a really matte and satin finish. It is the most matte finish of anything I have ever used.

The finish left is ok,but I prefer a little more gloss. Nothing super shiny though. I may have to top the tires with something.

The tires were pretty dirty. It had been at least a month or more since they had been cleaned due to rainy and cold weather. These particular tires shine up really nicely normally after a cleaning,and with whatever protectant I use.

Pics from others of their results have had better gloss than mine.

As I said before,It rocks on trim though.
 
BlackFire AIO Trim & Tire is a fantastic product in that it allows you to clean and protect exterior rubber and plastic in one easy step. It is very useful during a water less/rinse less routine in that you can clean up and protect these areas without the need for a hose.

It also works great on engine bay plastics.


I don't think you will get much more shine than what you are already achieving. If you are looking for more shine, perhaps adding a coat of a dedicated tire product such as BlackFire Total Eclipse Tire Gel will add the gloss you are looking for.

I like the product. It does save a step or two compared to using an APC and scrubbing. I have used Mothers Back-to-Black Tire Renew in the past and I liked it as well. The Blackfire does add some protection on top of the one step cleaning.

I have not used it on an engine bay yet. I have used rinseless wash with either UTTG or Stoner's Trim Shine with great results. I am out of UTTG,and I mainly use the Stoner's for the honeycomb grills on my wife's G8.

I will definitely give it a shot in engine bays.
