I got the Armor All Extreme Tire Shine in a spray-squirt bottle, and this stuff is amazing. I spray it on the whole tire, wipe off any overspray, then take a rag and just smooth out the Tire liquid and it stayed a deep black/wet look for weeks!! even after it rained 3 times on them it impressed me.

I've found that if you let the product sit on the tires, at least overnight, before you drive, it tends to last a little longer, it won't get slung all over your truck. While it won't have the "wet" look when you first apply it for when you hit the streets, it still looks pretty good.

I put it on and let it bake on in the sun and then a second thin coat. The tires suck it up a little bit sittin in the sun and it shines for a good 7-10 days. I use meguires endurance Gel in a bottle.

I have used Meguiars Hot Shine and just wipe a bit off let it dry some and reapply. I tend to leave it overnight to ensure I don't sling it all over like me brain6531 said. If I can't wait then I usually won't apply it without wiping some of it off first. So which product did you end up going with?

The Truck U show on TV just showed something from Dupli-Color that is supposed to last 5 times longer than regular tire shine. Looked pretty good.

I recently switched to the same. It has lasted quite a while and longer than pro dressings I usually use. It also does not sling as much as other dressings. Probably the best 'consumer' brand dressing I've ever used over the years. It's pretty cool watching it transform in about 8 minutes from a streaked gel to a very wet looking shine.

Ordered a can of this from Summit. Good stuff. Tires still look good after a week.
