  • Glossy Tires

    Are the insane shine tire spray suppose to give a glossy tire finish of matt finish.

    I tried it on my tires, but it did not give the glossy finish i was expecting. Did i do something wrong or is there any product that gives the glossy finish.

    It is suppose to be a "Insane Shine", something like this:



    Did you try a second coat?

        Oh, By the way, there is a tire cleaner that should be used first.

        Get a tire swipe such as the Meguiar's or the Eagle One and spray the tires with water. Then spray on the cleaner. Please note teh clearner foams. NOw scrubb the tire a lot use lots of agitation then rinse it off and possibly repeat.

        Your tire will look new or almost new. Now dry the tire.


        Now, you can get the Insane Shine Tire Spray and spray it on the tire.

        Just wait until it drys before spraying a second coat. I tend to spray insane shine lightly on all tired to prevent runs.

        If I need it to shine more, I will go back around the car again and spray a second coat. You will get a shine like the picture above if your tires are clean and you put on enough coats.

        Try to think of Insane Shine as a clear paint. It really does dry and have solvents... IT is very good stuff.

            Try Meguiar's Natural Shine.

            It is intended for dash boards and stuff like that. Still, that actually looks good, IMO.

            However, it is your opinion that counts not mine.

              agreed. for a more matte finish, i use less product and spread it around more evenly, as oppose to just spraying it on thick and walking away for a more glossy finish.
