Default Might be too shiny...

I was at the FLAPS today and saw a new Meguiar's product. It's called NXT Insane tire shine. comes in a spray bottle. I've had good luck with Meguiar's stuff in the past so I thought I'd try it.

This stuff might actually be too shiny. The pics I took here are with it on for over an hour, not freshly sprayed. Typically the can stuff doesn't last as long as the silicone stuff, but I'll let you all know how it looks after a few days. Pic includes a can shot if anybody wants to give it a shot.

That's extremely shiny!! It looks good though and will probably look good going down the road. I've used some stuff in a can before and it never looked that good. Even the spray bottle stuff doesn't stay that glossy for long. I think it looks good; very classy.

I really like tire shine but it seems like to me it attracts and dirt and dust and with mud or anything makes it super duper hard to get it off of your tires. I think that's why my mud tires look all stained.

I've never had a problem getting it off the tires, just keeping everything out of the gel. I am curious as to whether those chemicals do anything to the rubber itself.
