  • Warning about Duplicolor tire shine.

    Found this on the Internet. This is why use should stay with Meguiars tire dressings.

    Thought I would give everyone a heads up on my recent experience with Dupli-Colors Tire Shine product. I'm super **** about my vehicles, so of course I taped off my wheels and covered the exposed body before applying the product. I applied 4 coats over a 30 minute period. I waited an addition 10 minutes before removing the tape on the wheels. Now the product applies with a fine oil consistency and runs very easy. Reminds me of applying silicone spray. The can states that if the product starts to run, wait 5 minutes and apply another coat. Once I removed the tape, I found 3 wheels which the product had actually contacted the wheel. I used rubbing alcohol and a grease and wax remover to try and remove the product as direct by the product. To my surprise, very little of the product actually came off! I was left with several brown stain like areas on my wheels. I have tried numerous products trying to make a dent in the stain, brake clean, rubbing compounds, Mr. Clean erase etc. with no success. I have emailed Sherman Williams which owns Dupli-Color with the pictures and my disappointment in the product. I'll let you know if they ever get back to me.

      It's called Duplicolor tire shine. It's been advertised on tv over the weekend. It looked like a great product until I read this online. The commercial only shows you a guy spraying it on the tires and running it thru a car wash. It's supposed to out last any other tire shine. But after reading this its not worth it.

          Lol, your disapointed in a "snake oil" product advertised on TV? I would never trust anything advertised like this. Most, if not all, detailing products advertised like this are crappp.
