Anyone try Sonax Tire Gloss Gel?

[Jertronic]

Looks like the best one that's available from Amazon Prime.

Haven't tried that one yet. I use the Sonax wheel cleaner and that stuff works great. I use Adam's VRT for my tires, plastic trim, and rubber parts with great results. You should be able to purchase either one from @DetailersDomain as they're a forum sponsor and they have a 15% coupon right now.

This is what use, Stay Fresh Tire Shine. It's cheaper, lasts longer, and you have full control on how flat/shiny you want your tire to look.

Yes, wipe off any excess with a sponge/towel you don't care about use only for the purpose of spreading/cleaning up the tire shine.

Ah, because normally the spray will do that.

I usually use just a cheap meguiars tire gel (I know CHEAP) but it actually works really well and keeps the tires shiny for a good amount of time.

I'm always looking for other tire gels to use and will probably try out the sonax in the near future.

Have not tried their tire gloss, but I buy Sonax wheel cleaner by the gallon... its the best stuff I've used. With a pressure washer, you don't need to even touch the wheels. My Hawk HP+ pads dust like CRAZY, this is the only cleaner I've found to remove it effortlessly.

I use Aerospace 303 on my tires/rubber/plastic trim

I used only little to apply yesterday car wash.
i checked mine out after driving today and there is almost no sling.

Tried it once after an hour of city driving, I noticed some tire dressing sling in my fender and doors. You may want to try Autohaus tire shine it gives the same shine and protection but with out the sling.

Stay Fresh Tire Shine does not sling or attract dirt. Simply apply and it is dry to the touch.

Whats also cool is you can control the shine. Add more layers for extra shine

I like the Meguiars gel. I wipe on with a sponge, and usually let the car sit in the garage over night for it to soak in. If I plan on driving the car shortly after washing, I wipe on with a sponge, then use a clean (crappy) microfiber to wipe off excess. I've never had any sling with either of those methods. I find the Meguiars still to be cheap, easily accessible, and lasts long (that last part most likely because I try not to drive it in the rain).
