Wet tire look... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I will post pics tomorrow, but this is the best wet tire product I've seen... my tires still look like they're extremely wet after 2 days of driving and rain. High gloss, and lasts longer than anything I've seen out there.
Also, I know a lot of people are against Turtle Wax, but I had to be the guinea pig and try this.

PICS are up
My car isn't the cleanest right now do to my work and the rain that's come though here... but this is after a few days and rain. Quite a bit of driving as well...
The box also stated not to wash your car for 3 days and let it set... for garage Camaros this is perfect, do it on a Monday and drive on the weekend? My Camaro is my daily driver and it's not the box that's kept me from washing, its work schedule and weather.

Does it Sling?

Theres nothing wrong with Turtle Wax. A lot of members are brainwashed that theres only 1 cleaning product good enough.

Not at all... box says to spray on and let sit for an hour before driving. I did it while I was at work. After an hour, it's dry to touch... not greasy or oily at all... totally dry. But doesn't look dry

Keep an eye out here for pics tomorrow, as it's almost midnight here and my camera sucks at night.

I don't have a problem with MOST turtle wax. HOWEVER, I will never buy any of their black box stuff. My friend tried the black box and its literally just a messy black wax.

If this works well in the long run I may try it. But glad you were brave enough to try first. I forget which tire black I use but it works well and makes my garage smell like grapes. Haha my detailer smells like cinnamon so maybe I like nice smelling products?

I bought the detailing spray they have for black cars... wasnt impressed. It was just black liquid in a bottle, lol. Left a mess on my matte stripes. Im just going to finish off the rest of the bottle and go back to buying the Turtle Wax Ice spray. I use Meguiar's Hot Shine on my tires and it lasts forever.

Thanks Slick, I use Mequires hot shine FOAM<-- the foam one is key and its pretty great but is slings a bit.
Will definitly try this one out

FL1CK · 02-24-2012, 09:30 AM

Everyone, I don't like the black box stuff either, had the same problems, but even though this is in a black box, it's not for your paint and it's not black... it's a clear polymer spray. Pics soon...

njmike · 02-24-2012, 09:40 AM

Zano tire shine is the best It does not what so ever sling up on the car and it smells like bubble gum

FL1CK · 02-24-2012, 10:17 AM

As I'm basically turning this into a review... I will post pics randomly through the next couple months so I can keep track. The box said reapply every 3-4 months, so I think that out lasts quite a few of the other wet look products out there. Stay tuned.

My neighbor's dog's keep my tires shining ! : It really last too.

scuba264 · 02-24-2012, 10:48 AM

How much was this stuff? Just pick it up at Advance Auto or something? Some people don't dig the wet look, I always did. Any time I wash I always use one of the spray on foams and they work well but never last. Interested...

FL1CK · 02-24-2012, 10:53 AM

About $12 for a can... (AutoZone is where I got mine) get about 2-3 applications from it. Like I said though, supposed to last 3-4 months per application so definitely worth it to me. I have always been a fan of the wet tire look.
