Heijneker Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I can't seem to find anything on Optimum Tire Shine, so I thought I'd share some results. I spray it on using a Taiwan trigger sprayer, which is the same as I got with the spray polishes, works perfectly. More to follow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 That looks super shinny...not my thing...I prefer more matt, original look hence why I use Opti bond and Carpro PERL mostly. How long does Tire shine last? I am thinking a week?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I am almost, almost done with my bottle of Tire Shine so I can switch over to Opti-Bond. I'm with A&J, I prefer more matte, plus Opti-Bond is completely non-greasy, which always boggles my mind. Of course, on my other vehicle I have my ersatz Optimum Tire Coating (Gel Coat Restorer), which is crazy shiny when you put two coats on. Jury still out on whether it dims down over time.

Heijneker Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yeah the name doesn't lie haha! I don't like shiny tires either, but Tire Shine is so easy to apply and more consistent. With the white car, the Tire Shine had around 36hr indoors to soak in, and I actually loved the look on that particular car. Had a bit of a Wow-moment when I first saw it this morning, that's why I started this topic 😝. And this one without close-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&J Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yeah ok...that is kinda normal. It does depend on the weather circumstances a lot...for example I applied Carpro perl on over the weekend after a tyre and rims cleaning session and I gotta tell you that Perl only lasts 75km driven in one waterfall. Opti bond is the same...drive it in the rain and it disapears like its in a magician act 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heijneker Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Two weeks is fine for me! That's about 4 washes 😛 Love it when a magician unveils an undressed..... tire..... Weird thing I found, dressings last significantly longer on my front wheels. Tires are all the same age and installed at the same time.

A&J Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 yeah but your back brake pads are worn out more and thus it produces more brake dust that clings to the tyre...I am just guessing! I have no idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
