Sounds interesting. It's too bad you don't have photos to show the look of it.

Here's a few for you...

Slight sun

Thanks. It actually looks really good.

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

My first impression (besides that fact it smells like grape Kool-Aid) is it is easy and FUN to use!
The application was fast and the spray nozzle was very accurate with very little to no overspray.
I applied it yesterday and just felt it. It feels a little oily today but I don't think it's going to sling.

In Finish Prep my two biggest nemesis are:
A black tire dressing/coating that looks good and has lots of durability.
A trim coating that adds black, has longevity and has a hard dry finish.

I can't say on the durability of Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine but it's quick, easy & FUN to look at!

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

Thanks for the review and pics Merlin. Reflect doesn't seem to have the gaudy in your face result I was kind of expecting (which is a good thing!). Think I'll give it a shot as well.

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

Thanks for the review Merlin!

Maybe the pics don't do it justice but (whilst they look great) the tires don't seem to have any 'special effect' look to them, which is what I was lead to believe.

They just look like clean and nicely dressed tires to me!

The "Special Effect" is the way light reflects of the tires.
I'd bet (although I haven't tried) it looks kewl at night. (headlights reflecting off the tires etc.)

Thanks for the kind words about "clean and nicely dressed tires".

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

This is the best my iphone camera could pick up on the effect. What really surprised me is the longevity of this stuff. A week later of heavy highway/city driving with no garage and my tires still look excellent. Good product.

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

I like it!
Why?

I like it because Reflect "Does something"...rather than just another tire dressing.

Yes, I like products that "Do Something".
Yes, it feels a bit oily if you touch it. Yes, it's has a slight shine to it...but it's FUN!

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

Difference between Hot Shine Tire Foam and Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine?

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

After a week, I find the longevity and endurance to be the same as normal hot shine. I suspect they are virtually the same save for price and the added 'flakes' in Reflect.

Re: Hot Shine REFLECT Tire Shine

Features:

• NOT glitter or metal flake
• In direct sunlight, proprietary ingredient actually reflects light for an added "pop" of shine
• In shade, delivers a "Photo-shopped" like gloss
• At night, reflects headlights for a unique visual effect
• Size: 15 oz Aerosol

Details:

• Part #: G18715
• MSRP: $7.99

Excellent video!

From what I understand there is no "glitter" in the product.
The sparkle comes from a "proprietary ingredient" that sparkles.
I love this stuff for the "Saturday night out" reflections!

I think it turned out pretty good on my truck!
