What Can You do?
If you have ever seen old dull tires on a nice shiny car, you know they can ruin the appearance and make the car look like a junker. But with so many options out there, what should you choose?
There are a few types of tire care products, so here it goes!
Spray-on
If you want easy, this is for you. Simply spray on wet or dry. The end! Many spray on tire products will clean and protect, some even have adjustable settings. Always make sure you hold the spray can a foot or so away to get even distribution of the spray, allowing for a smooth glossy finish. Be careful that you wipe off any overspray that gets on your paint or you will end up with greasy drips on your side. One way to prevent this is apply in the garage to avoid the wind.
Gel
Gel is a little harder to apply, but the results are usually better and almost always last longer. Some can stand up to rain and last for over a week. To apply, you must rub the gel over the tire as if you were painting it, make sure to stay in one direction. If you want let the gel dry for a few minutes and apply a second coat for a shiny gloss. One downside to gel is it often holds dirt and dust.
Foam
Foam spray is similar to the liquid spray, with the exception of better cleaning. Foams can often bubble away dirt and leave a better gloss with less work. If you want a quick touchup without washing your car, foam is the way to go.
How To Do It
Always follow the instructions on your tire shine product, but keep these general rules in mind. Even if you have a tire care product that claims to work on dirty or wet tires, clean and dry your tires and wheels before applying. Make sure to get any dirt out of the grooves and treads on the sidewalls.
Pay attention to the wells and grooves that your tires have. Apply your chosen tire shine product evenly on the side of the tires. Let it sit for a minute or two, and then wipe off the excess. If you dont wipe off the extra, it will fling all over your paint, making your tires look great, but your car look awful.
Conclusion
Making your tires look great is easy and will make you car POP. But if you want to get the best bang for your buck, and the best performance always seek a review. There are many great products out there, but really its your call. Having shiny clean tires will make your car look better, and make your tires last even longer.
