Feedback -tire shine

[Kickerz71]

Love the product however when I spray it on my BF All terrains I find the dye from the spray will make the white letters turn yellowish. I usually will spray, let set then wipe off the excess.

I too have white lettering on my truck tires, I spray on the foam block then wipe on the tires. When done I take the clean edge of the foam and wipe the white letters off.

I recently picked up a bottle of tire shine at Summit..its been a LONG time since i have been that impressed with a car product. BRAVO

You can always follow up with using a MF utility towel to wipe off from the lettering. Avoiding the lettering the best you can will probably help as well

Something to keep in mind - often time discoloration on white lettering isn't the product, its transfer from the vulcanized (black) rubber and the antiozonant as you wipe the product over the surface. White lettering should always be avoided when applying a dressing. Spray onto the applicator and spread without crossing the whites as much as possible.

I will always clean the tire and scrub the letter using a brush. I usually spray the tire shine, allow to dry a little then wipe off excess.

I'll try to spray the sponge first and avoid the white lettering.

Agreed, but I do not have any issue using SVRT on my white letter tires, maybe because of the white pigment in the SVRT. I will have to agree with Kickerz71, using Tireshine does discolor the white lettering if not wiped off. I have now switched to SVRT on my truck and all oter vehicles get Tireshine. Both great products !!

I must be missing something. If I had to rank my least favorite products it would be a tie between tire shine and old glass cleaner for the simple fact that at the price point there seem to be better options that last longer at the big box stores

I would add the undercarriage spray to the list. The staining that results from that product keep me from ever reusing it. While I know there are a number of steps that need to be done in precaution (paper towels on floor, using block sponges to get excess, ect.) it just isn't worth the risk on my brand new floors. The smell is the only pleasant thing about the product IMHO.
