i used to use the colored tire gel that black magic puts out, but here lately i haven't been able to find it in any of the local parts houses i've been in. does anyone know if they are still making it, and where the best place to look is? seriously, i've been to AutoZone, NAPA, Advance, Pep Boys....you name it i've been there.

 

I have the same problem. I haven't been able to find it for about a year. I've got about one application left.

 

its been discontinued. I bought one to try out when they were marked down to $1 last year, still havn't taken it out of the box.

 

Yeah, I picked up a jar a couple months ago in the clearance rack at Schucks.

 

the ArmorAll tire shine gel works much better, lasts for weeks, and comes with an applicator sponge. i have used it on my car with great results

 

 

Black Magic is the only gel I've ever used that doesn't spin off all over the paint, and no I don't use too much.

 

does the armorall gel that you're talking about have different color options?? i've seen the regular tire gel stuff that they have, but it's more like a "wet shine".

 

not sure, I honestly didn't even know they made "colored" tire shine, until I read this thread...

 

They did sell it with colors. My sister got purple before, haha. The gel just had purple flakes in it. Actually looked kind of cool when the sun hit it.

I've heard good things about Meguairs high endurance tire gel (the purple stuff).

 

why would you want your tires to have a colored gel on them? seems tacky to me

 

Different strokes for different folks. If everyone liked the same thing, and had the same taste, things would be boreing with everything.

 

still, its considered tacky to someone with good taste

lol

 

Opinions are something that cannot be argued. There is no true answer.

 

Ive only had luck with meguairs tire shine, the purple stuff. It seems to last decent and doesnt fly up over the paint(which i hate the most) but its not that shiny. Doesnt have a "wet" appearance.

Opinions are like buttholes...everybody has one, LOL!!

 

gotta say meguiars on this.. since my dad is the meguiars distributor for maui.. you know what that means.. FREE EVERYTHING

 

I have seen this turn tires brown before.

 

Yeah grover me too.
I use blue ice, a detailing tire dressing by auto magic. Its a liquid and it makes ya tires look really wet 4 a long time bout 2 weeks. and u can spray it it on the plastic in the fender well and it all looks new!!

 

doesnt make my tires brown!

 

You must have special tires.

 

you must live in a special environment
