anyone else use this?? i just picked up a bottle today, and its works awsome!

i was wondering if anyone knows how long this stuff lasts?

Aredross

I used it and it is awesome
unfortunately it doesnt last long
well not in my dirt back yard at least
It stays shiny for a while if you let it sit
but once the dirt and debris starts flying its pretty much over
so when your driving somewhere
stop a block short and spray it on
then drive up all cool like

Lol....

I used to use Eagle One wet shine...its lasted for driving about a week, but after that it was done

Quick6

I would think all tire shine of any brand would wear off after about a week of driving, is this not the case? Is one better?

megaracerx

i'll let ya know after a week of driving with the black magic

but the eagle one looks better when 1st applied.

ive had good experiances with maguires tire gel that stuff will last through rain sometimes...

Gel huh? I'll have to look for this next time I'm at the parts store. I really hate the way Black Magic sprays all over your car after you apply it, and drive.

the black magic stuff is thick enough to be considered gel.....the good thing is that it can last alot longer than eagle, but just follow the directions. You gotta apply a good coat and then let it sit for 10 minutes before applying one more coat. Use a spongebrush to really work it into the rubber and then let it sit til it dries (to prevent spray on the car). Ive had it last a long time

I use the STP son of a gun.

*ducks!*

But it works pretty well, is easy to control, (foam) and does not sling all over the car like the liquid stuff. Lasts a while and is fairly cheap, too!

megaracerx

also, there a generic brand, called like "tuff stuff" of somthing that works nice, but doesnt shine as well

I like the black as night look, but not shiny.

I use the Black magic, sprayed onto a dish sponge. The "tire shine" sponges always get too ragged. Once it's been on for about 20 minutes, I take a dry rag and wipe the tires down as much as possible.

That look lasts quite a while, but if you like it shiny, then I don't really know how long it'll last.

I LOVE the Black Magic stuff. Here's why:
1. It's gel so you don't get it all over your rims
2. unlike most gels it doesn't spin off and leave the bottom of your car and you rims covered in little black smudges
3. It lasts until I wash it off ( very slight fading )

Yeah thats what I use also, its pretty thick!

Tire Wet gel here, works great and lasts much longer than the spray!

redraif

Smells good too! That is what i have use! Gel is the best. Spray makes too much mess on the rims and paint.

Im gonna start using the gel.

Spdfrk1990

Gel is much better and it doesnt run onto the rims.

CaysE

The foam spray you're using is better for plastic, so keep doing what you're doing. But as far as tires go, the gel is what you want.

I used the turtle wax tire shiner spray can.They sell em at the zone and kragen for like $7.00 but target has em for like 4 bucks.

Ill put in another vote for McGuiers, that stuff is amazing, last for about 2 weeks unless you put it in mud all the time...

RebelRacer

my vote is going to black magic!

Okay guys, looks like you never used anything else than black magic...

PLEASE, do yourself a favor and go buy some Meguiar's endurance gel, and you won't buy these other crap again...

ll-84camaro-ll

ill agree with that when i first got my car i thought black magic whas this shizznit but then it would wear off after a day and i got tired of always aplying it everytime i wanted to go out for a cruize so i picked up a bottle of meguiar's endurance gel and ill never go back to black magic
