Sick of tire shine products

[sf5211]

Thank you for all the suggestions guys. I am going to try them one at a time before I give up. (even though I said I give up).
The Jeep looks so much better after a cleaning with the wet look.
Chocolate Thunder, I'm going to try your way first being the product is completely dry when finished.
Thank you CT and all my other friends!

I used to detail vehicles. The Tuf Shine is a great product. So many clients were thrilled when this option came around. A big key is thoroughly cleaning them before applying the clear coat.

On another note, for all of you guys who are dead set against having your Jeeps look their best, what’s the deal with that? I’m seriously asking. Is it a “Jeep thing” to not want it to look nice? It’s a brand new vehicle, not a rat rod. Are y’all the guy sitting at the next table over from me in an upscale restaurant wearing the mustard stained Judas Priest ‘83 world tour t-shirt, cutoffs, and flip-flops with the 5 day stubble? I take my Jeep off-road whenever I can. But then I clean it up afterwards until it’s time to get it filthy again.

I use a foam cleaner to get the brown off and that’s it, I quit using any dressing months and months ago

I use Adam’s polishes. Literally soak the tires and let them sit overnight. Very minimal to no sling at all depending on how long it sits. You could always wipe off the excess as well after it’s applied. That goes for any brand.

Life is too short to shine tires.

Just not that dapper either.

I love the patina of a light coat of dirt on the tires. Maybe some beach sand on the nerf bars to complete the look.

Bro I have to agree...... I love taking mine off road just love it... but.... when I am on the road, just got to look good as it can...... just frustrated now I had to relocate to Atlanta right after coming back from South Dakota and I have all kind of pinstripes I just have to get off just doesn't look right on the road.... she needs to be shiny and pretty.... ..... but it is very expensive to keep the tires sprayed up so most times I just clean them....

tires should be clean, not shiny.

when i bought my jeep the dealer sent it to the shop to get the floor mats installed while we finished the paperwork. came out to drive away and the tires were all sparkly in the sunlight. i made them wipe it all off.

I’ve tried Gels, I’ve tried foam and all kinds of tire wet sprays. Even if I put them on and park the Jeep for the night so it can completely dry I still get that annoying sling on my rear fenders.
I’m not putting on anything anymore. Unless someone knows of a product that doesn’t sling.

I don't tire shine the Jeep, but on other cars there is a sponge applicator I use after the foam spray. It seems to get the excess and spread it evenly.

Doesn't sling last months not weeks. As expected mud and off-road driving shortens its life.

I've recently got some seriously hard to remove kentucky mud on them so I'm looking forward to seeing if I can return them to this state.

When I was younger, the same pattern repeated each time I purchased a vehicle, new car or used, I’d baby the paint and buy detailing products. After about year the obsession wore off.

At the current stage of life I feel that time is more important than money and I’ll pay someone else to detail my vehicles from time to time. If the sports sedan or family hauler is soiled, then it doesn’t feel right to me. When the Jeep is soiled it still looks OK because of its intended function.

When I bought the Jeep I purchased some fancy ceramic coating product. The shrink wrap on the packaging is still in place. These days I keep it simple: drive through touchless car wash. Clay bar if the forest fire ashes are coating the paint. Detail once a year, maybe. Vacuum regularly.

Cover All found at Oreillys is the best stuff I’ve used.

I also use Adams polishes VRT and a sponge applicator on the rare occasion I get around to it. No issues with it slinging off.

I agree 100% with this^. I’ll take my Jeep off road, come home park it in the garage dirty but before I take my next trip, including a 1 mile drive to the supermarket, I have to clean it. Later for that “it’s a Jeep thing”,, I paid too much, take too much pride and love it too much to just leave it filthy. I’ll start before sunrise and have it looking like new by 8AM. Funny too because my wife will come out in her robe, say “you’re obsessed “ and just walk back inside while I laugh.
The only way I ever leave it dirty is if there’s rain in the forecast on a day I know I’ll be using it.

I’m not a shinny wheel fan personally. Is there a cleaner you like best that takes the brown off?
