Super Blue Tire Gloss.

Has anyone used this stuff? My uncle puts it on all of his old hot rods and swears by it. It doesn't leave a wet gloss like the silicone based products, it is more of a new tire shine.

Not much you can really say. It looks descent, but the site just smells of BS. Try it, but be aware that there are OBVIOUSLY better products out there. You gotta order it online anyway, so please look into something a bit nicer (Z16, Meguairs Hyperdressing, CG VRT, ect).

I love how they recommend to just spray on the sidewall and walk away. That sounds like a sling fest to me. Although it would probably look and work better using an applicator and buffing off excess.

Like I said my uncle uses the stuff, all of his tires look like they are brand new and some of them are 10-15 years old. He buys it from the Pomona Hot Rod swap meet. The stuff smells kinda like a cross between kerosene and gasoline. He sprays it on a sponge and wipes it on the tire.

I posted it just to see if anyone had tried it, while it may be a "county fair miracle product" but I think the end result looks really good.

As far as the rest of the products go I have no idea.

ipes it on the tire.

With tire products, its pretty hard to go wrong as long as you apply the right way. Its a solvent based dressing so the smell you described fits right in. Try it, what can you lose?

Interesting how on the website they show before pics with very dirty wheels and the after pics with clean wheels. I personally like Aerospace 303...

Aerospace is a little too expensive to use on tires imo. I think most tire shine products work well as long as you wipe off the excess. I need to order some megs hyperdressing as I hear good things about it.

Fminus- I would not be surprised for one minute if the stuff was non-VOC compliant.
