Tire Shine. Use on a white vehicle?

[iono11200]

I'm about to take delivery of a 2016 White Tacoma. 4 years ago, I had an awful experience with an unknown brand of tire shine staining the paint on my then new 2012 White Tacoma. Can anyone tell me if they have had any experiences with this product and white vehicles, specifically in regard to overspray and staining of paint. I've read that this is a WATER based product with "SOME" silicone added. Can anyone be more specific as to what this really means?  Thank You.

I have 2 white cars,  a Vette and a Cadillac, and I use it on both vehicles.  Never had any problems with any sling or staining on either one.  Plus, on both vehicles I have the 3M tape protection behind both wheels (not the wheel wells) and it has never stained that either.

No problems with Tire Shine on my Oxford White F250 either. Love the Tire Shine from Adams.

You won't have a problem with our Tire Shine hurting your paint, for one if you apply correctly you won't have any over spray and if you did accidentally  get it on your paint you can use DS or WW to safely remove it.

As others have said, as long as you let the Tire Shine fully dry before driving, there should be no issue with it slinging onto the door panels. The key is that you do not want to let it pool up at the bottom of the rim edge of the wheel or in tread block grooves. Use a foam applicator block in these areas to remove excess Tire Shine, then let it dry and it will not even be greasy to the touch once dry!

 

I use it on my White Diamond Pearl Regal G.S. with no issues

I'd like to thank everyone for taking the time to reply. I'm feeling pretty confident now about giving this a try. Perhaps it's my OCD, but just one more question. When it rains, obviously this product "slings off" as one drives. Again, still easy to remove with a simple wash of the vehicle? Thank You Again.

I have never had it "sling" even in inclement weather. And if it did it would simply be washed off with the car wash or waterless wash.

It took a good 2-3 weeks with some rain and road puddles for Tire Shine to start breaking down. If you get your tires REALLY good and clean before you apply it, it'll last longer than what you'd expect from a tire dressing.

In my experience it won't "sling off" after a rain, I haven't seen any signs after its dry. The only way it'll sling is user error, apply to much or leave standing pools of it on your tread

Again, Thanks to everyone for your comments. I appreciate each and every one. Can't wait till spring to start detailing!

No issues here either! All good!

When I use the super glossy method hereknown as the slig method, I apply it, let it dry for 30min, use the tire block to remove excess and spread evenly and let it sit overnight.

 

It will be odd at first because it will be very oily to the touch even the next days but somehow it doesn't sling...

Congrats on the New Tacoma.  Got my Black 2016 Off Road on Jan 1st and I love it.

Adam's tire shine is fantastic. Best I've ever used. No sling at all.

[Audog]

Haven't tried Tire Shine yet, use VRT and like the look, but have been thinking of ordering some, and since everyone says it doesn't sling, think I will. Both of our vehicles are white.

[pirahnah3]

I applied yesterday to my white truck, didnt leave much dry time (maybe 10-15min at most) and no sling or anything, I didnt apply heavily but it still looks great. If you like the VRT you will love the TS.

Do you like banana pudding?  If yes, then you will love the Tire Shine!

Tire Shine is amazing! It is guaranteed 110% like the rest of the line!! remember a key that everyone on this forum knows, less is better so if small repeat applications are needed, than that must be the winning combination to prevent it.
