Tire Shine
Purchased new BFG Wrangler for my Ford F250, 2004 Harley. Looking for good tire shine, etc. I read that silicone base products will harm rubber, etc. any products that are not silicone based?

Invisible glass has a new product out called "More Shine" that works great. One coat gives it a flat look, adding a second gives the tires a wet look. Auto Zone and prolly others carry it. Megiuars is another recommended product.
No silicone! Silicone will strip the clear coat paint finish off, so you don't want to spray any silicone near the paint...also stay far away from any silicone based waxes.

It depends on how shiny you want them. I have taken a liking to mothers duration tire care recently. It doesn't spray up on the fender like the ultra shiny eagle one, but it is much duller.
For the good stuff, check with the show car people. Zainos, Mothers and Meguires.

I use silicone based dressing for longer lasting and glossier shine and water based for a matte finish.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have an inherited 78 that has sat for some time. The tires are so dry that even all the tire dressings I've used keep getting washed off; even after proper preparation. I will grab me some of that and take it for a spin.

Thanks rsylvstr, I should have started taking pictures when I got her from the farm. I have done several restoration projects already that would have made a decent gallery.
No time like the present to get started with a small gallery.

I like this stuff, its called Black Magic Tire Wet, its spray on and no wipe, and it looks great, I also use it under the hood on plastics and rubber, and even on the inside on my dash and door trim, and the no wipe thing makes it super easy and user friendly. Comes out super glossy and my last time i did it was 30 days ago or so and its still shining on the inside under the hood and inside.
