Default Question about Armor All Tire Shine....

Hey guys, I just joined this forum and there is alot of awesome info on here. I have a quick question about something I bought. I just went and got some Armor-All Extreme Tire Shine Gel. Does anybody else use this. I'm hoping this is a good product. I 've always heard good things about Armor All stuff so I think I'll be aright. At first I was just going to buy the Tire Shine for 6.99. But then I found the Gift Pack which included the Tire Shine, Powerwash Gel, Protectant Wipes, Glass Cleaner, Wheel Cleaner and a Micro-Fiber Wash Mitt. All for $10.00. I think thats a good deal. Anyway if anybody used these Armor All Products before I really wanna hear about how you liked them. Thanks so much guys.

Just so you guys know, and I know it makes your tires look great and everything, but that stuff eats your tires up. Seriously. It isn't good for them.

Armor all splatter all the time, after a quick ride, your inner fenders will be covered with those sticky stuff.
I recommend Meguiars hot tyre shine, they're proven good, no splatter and it gives the best wet look shine.

I use the armoral gel but as stated above you have to clean your tires well first so that it actually gets on the rubber not on top of dirt.

Its just like all my silly friends who's dash board is like dripping in arom all cause they never clean it. I use hot hot hot water to clean all rubber and plastic with a pinch of dishwashing soap for interior peices and some car wash for the outside peices and it works great.

Takes a bit longer but my shine lasts longer and they dont fell all slimey and what not.
