Tire shine?
Gel is REALLY, REALLY bad to use.
As was said, it coats your tires.. What do your tires do? Move.
Where does the tire slime go? On your paint.
I used to use it all the time, and eventually had huge problems with faded paint spots directly behind my wheels
Plus IMO gel looks cheap as hell, like an afro covered in grease.
I like crisp, clean, black tires and interior.. Not shiny oily

I've never used gel, I just use the eagle 1 stuff (can't remember the name) take my car for a spin then wash/wax, that way the "slinging" is kept to a minimum, some of you may laugh but it works!

Meguiars Gel all the way. My tires will still be shiny after I wash the car from the last time I shined them.

Sprayed the tire foam on, and after this rain, my side walls are brown. I'm kinda leary about the westleys stuff b/c i heard if it gets on your paint, it sucks to have that happen. What brands are you talking about zero signal? Thanks for your help guys.

I use TurtleWax Tire Wax. Doesn't seem to come off the tires since you apply it with a sponge, then again I usually let the car sit for a bit after putting it on.

bleeche white could possibly etch aluminimum wheels. it could also eat-up clear coat on painted wheels. the simple green is good stuff, but make sure to take a brush to it otherwise it looks streaky on the tire. meguiar's gold class rubber protector is good stuff. the results you get depends on how well you clean the tire itself. stoner more shine, less time is also the shiz.
if you don't have any money, but have some dish soap, like say lemon fresh joy, use it. the results are staggering.
