Croftgate tire shine

I absolutely love, love, love my Croftgate tire shine and didn't find a single Con you experienced. The tire shine is no sling, shines and reconditions rubber and plastics. Its the only product I will use on my tires, interior and exterior plastics.

Croftgate tire shine dries fast and no oily residue on my cars or customers cars. I certainly won't be one of those Croftgate users that will say this is the only product and nothing else. Ha ha ha.

It has been working amazing for me, my customers love how it looks and feels so if it ain't broke why fix it. Lol
I have used other tire shine and plastic shines and by far Croftgate is top notch. ��

I must admit that whenever I see the Croftgate guys/gals,
(walking around and hawking their wares at Car Shows), starting to approach me and my vehicle...the onset of extraordinary, near-metamorphosis changes to my persona begins to takes place.

Among those changes:
The hair on the back of my neck stands up; my eyes become like fiery orbs; my breathing becomes shallow and quick-paced; my hands starts doubling into fists; I find my feet have automatically taken a Boxer's-stance; etc.
True story!!

Speaking of stand:
The main thing that stands out about the Croftgate tire shine to me is: that it imparts the Crispy Creme glazed doughnut look...The look that I so do not like. :eek:

Those Crispy Creme donuts are the best. Ha ha ha. I would have to agree on that glazed look that it gives the tires. For me personnelly, I love that look on a tire. Lol. I really like that wet, deep, glazed rich look to tires and plastics.

So you really can't stand the reps at the shows? Lol
 
Glad to hear some feedbacks after several months quiet. Let us know your experience whether it's good or not. Just make this thread more active.

Plus you can use it on the wheels. Love this stuff !!
 
I always spray it on a junky microfiber first, then apply it to the tire. That way it gives a nice deep matte black finish, without the horrible glazed donut appearance.

A great option to apply it like that. I am guilty of loving the glazed donut look. Lol.
 
I'm very intrigued about this item. I know, why over think it. Just by and try. Thank you self. Better be good!

Peace,

I really do not prefer an over glossed tire. Just slightly more than rich black like if you restored trim. Optimum opti bind gives me this. Supposedly 303 aerospace is also able to be applied to rubber and it looks healthy and not overdone
 
Just bought 4 bottles which on sales with less than half price. Better use a sponge as an applicator to apply the last coat for glossy shine look.
 
Seems the Croftgate product was not quite popular on the market especially in Canada.
Just tried their Multi-Clean on the wheels and tires cause it's on sale at our local store. Quite positive. It's much better than their Tire Shine. The look of the liquid was like clear water. It would completely dry and no need to rinse. Not sticky. Leave a glossy clean dry look on the wheels and tires even don't use the Tire Shine dressing. Much better than only using their Tire Shine which would leave sticky oil on the wheels.
Even on the Tire Shine instruction also recommend to first use Multi-Clean for heavy dirty cleaning.
So i now use the Multi-Clean for cleaning first then apply the Tire Shine for dressing. It's perfect match.

Amen!!! Or spray on a tire applicator first, then spread on the tire. I do this both ways and like the look. It's water based, so if it rains, it won't last real long, but looks great on my wheels and tires for the car show.
