    i scouted around for tire dressing available in the market. i've taken out the regular tire black from my options and left with the following:

    turtle wax wet n black - 404.75
    turtle wax tire wax (no spin off) - around 300-350
    Armor-All Extreme Tire Shine - 289.75
    pennzoil tire shine - 230
    EO wet tire shine - 519.75

    i solicited good reviews on EO from this forum. i would just like to get opinions on other sutffs to get me better options.

    any comparative comments especially with TW tire wax?

    thanks.

    Which wont make the tire color fade thru time? I heard kasi tire black or some other brand makes the original color fade later on..

    Thats why i dont use any of this stuff on my tires..

    sir theveed/blackmagic,
    care to share what tire dressing you use in bigberts?

    jacorb_88,
    you can also add to your list the polyglaze Tire Black. It's a water-based "paint" unlike the other petro-based tire blacks. I'll be buying it. I'll just use the EO wet tire shine for maintenance.

    I'd recommend against getting it.

    got a can, used it once and never applied it to my tires again ever. absolutely regretted it.

    yep nagkaroon nga ng film sa tires and nababakbak sya eventually. ang panget tingnan sa gulong.. PITA to apply, PITA to remove sa hands and nails kung mapunta man dun.

    dehadista,
    thanks for that feedback. buti na lng...
    baka kaya makapal lang yung application? or kahit manipis eh, nag flake pa rin?

    mukhang PB bold n bright na lang ako...

    kahit gaano kanipis, same principle: apply a thin film to coat the tire. nagbabakbak pa din. great initial look but it wears down significantly in a short span of time.. and when it wears down, sobra sa flakes..

    Medyo messy nga ang Tire Gel like from Black Magic at sandali lang naka-kapit kaagad ang dumi.

    I highly recommend these two products...
    303 protectant-very costly pero it will retain your tire color, BLACK
    Some other tire shine products will turn your tires brownish in color specially those foam spray cans, just stay away from those. At ang 303 is semi gloss and not greasy shiny.

    Another good product is from Dupont Teflon. It wont hurt your paint kahit ma-over spray. You know how Teflon works no need to explain here.

    im using Formula 1 now. spray on.
    medyo mas matagal ang buhay nya compared to the usual tire blocks. i just normally apply it after washing the car, once a week. the shine lasts for a week or so...

    Whatever you do, don't ever get Armor All. Nakakatuyo yan ng rubber/vinyl.

    Also when applying, let it sit for a few minutes. Wag mo itakbo kagad. Tatalsik lang yon sa katawan ng sasakyan.

    try Mothers, I use it regularly and it doesn't produce flaking or significant discolorization sa tyre wall. Pahid lang using a rug so you can control the application so in the long run it's cheaper. Formula 1 din ay tried and tested by pros but I prefer the blackness of the latter.

    what brand of tire black can you use for the engine plastics?

    read somewhere that WATER based ones are best for engine plastics....

    Yung pinagpapa-carwash namin malapit sa bahay ginagamit na bote ay C2.

    Nung tinanong namin pinapa-chemist pa daw yon. Hmmm...
