Waxing your tires
I decided to wax my tires the other day and all I can say is WOW!!!! It looks way better than any tire shine I have tried- especially after using the buffer to finish em off. The tread on my tires looks like new. All was well till I did one of these

Custom Swirly Black- 2001 WS6 M6
Also curious how well it gets into the fine lines of the side wall. Nothing beats a spray that I've found.
What product was it?

I highly doubt anything made my Turtle Wax is water based.....
Meaning it would be oil based and could dry out the material if applications stopped.
I will stick to using Prima Nero for rubber, vinyl, and such. Works great on the dash and the tires.

You guys know I am jokin around right? I use Nero for the dash etc. - smells so good! Not overpowering though with a nice matte finish.
For tires Meguiars Hot Shine. Never slings. It's one of the only over the counter things I use.Last edited by LETHALxLS1; 06-17-2011 at 05:37 PM.

I hate paying a lot for products....
But by using the cheap stuff and then using something in the mid-range you quickly learn how much better a product can be.
There is NO turtle wax product that will touch any vehicle of mine.
The products I buy usually last much longer than the cheapo off-the-shelf stuff too. In the end, it costs about the same per use and works MUCH better.2008 Trailblazer SS
