What's the best Spray or Aeresol tire shine?

Hey there guys, another question as always :D

My sisters Ram has Toyo Open Country A/T 265/75/R15's all the way around, and they are NOT the easiest tires to care for. A good scrubbing with a degreaser or a wheel cleaner gets the dirt off and leaves the white letters nice and clean, but applying a dressing is a pain! They're too big to use my applicator pads on, and I can't think of anything else to use, so I've come to the conclusion that either a plastic spray bottle dressing or an aeresol can is the only solution to make these tires look good without too much effort.

I used to use the Turtle Wax Wet 'N Black for a while, and I liked the results, but there was a fairly large amount of sling. I just want something that will leave a wet, shiny finish that won't sling. I tried a can of that No Touch tire shine (I think that's what it was?) and it made them look good, but I know they can look better.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I use no touch in the wheel wells and in the engine compartment. I know your looking for an aerosol but you cant go wrong with poorboys BnB or Adams VRT. you will only spend about a minute tops dressing them. I find the aerosol on tires gets overspray when your spraying all over your paint and its a real hassle getting it off.

That's one reason I didn't want to use the aerosol, getting overspray all over everything...But it did the job for today at least...
I went ahead and bought a bottle of the Turtle Wax Wet 'N Black just to give it another shot. I think as long as I swipe the sidewalls with the sponges then I should have very minimal sling.

I'll be making a Poorboys order soon, and BnB is on my list. I just need to get down to the post office to get a money order :crazy
 
When I had more "rugged" looking tires with rougher sidewalls, I became a big fan of Teflon Tire Shine. One reason being is that you can spray it on and the sprayer they have it in works beautifully. You wind up with a very even application. There's also no sling. I'd say if you're giving OTC products a try, try the Teflon Tire Shine.

I second Jared's recommendation. The Dupont Teflon Tire Shine is the only OTC tire dressing I've found that can trully be sprayed on and doesn't look blotchy. It gets absorbed very well and it is water-based. I easily get 2+ weeks out of it even with some rain. It does not give that oily shine appearanace. If you are looking for a new tire black matte look this is the product.
 
look for waterbased dressings! the spread real easy and dry to the touch! i think instead of looking for an aerosal, id lookf or a different foam applicator. maybe spraying the tires with dressing and using a big sponge likes "adams dressing sponge" to spread it. i too vote for dupont teflon shine on the sprayer part. ive dressed my tires perfectly without having to spread producy, with no slinging! the sprayer sends product evenly without getting it all over the place.
 
Stoner's More Shine Less Time

I like using this one because it is FAST. Spray it on and walk away. If you're trying to work more efficiently then it will cut a few minutes from your detail time.

I also like the look. Not that ghetto glossy super shine, but a nice, flat, black matte look.

And the spray head doesn't cover a huge area, so overspray isn't a problem. I have forty series tires and they are less than three inches thick all around the wheel.

It's my favorite right now.
 
One more vote for the Dupont Teflon stuff. Spreads well, and covers perfect, lasts long for a WB dressing too.

Michelin is second, spreads better, but streaks and blotches, and washes off in the rain.

Who carries the Teflon spray? I think I'll have to pick up a bottle and try it out!

AutoZone & Wal-Mart have it 'round here. Any OTC place with car cleaning stuff should have it. I think it's around $5.99 or so.
