Tire Gloss Gel

Great tire shine, last for awhile

I'm reasonably compulsive about keeping my car clean, inside and out, the exterior polished and waxed to near-perfection, or as near as possible given my daily driver is now two decades old. Over the years I have tried many, many tire treatment products - spray on liquids and foams and creams from all the usual suspects like Armor All, 3M, Meguiars, Eagle One, Griot's... on and on. The sprays are a pain - you have lots of cleaning up to do after each application. The wipe on treatments I've tried before seem to leave way too much sticky residue and are prone to getting thrown around the first time you drive away. And no matter what I've tried, nothing seems to be very durable - I would have to treat my tires every few days to maintain the look I want, and often I can't get around to doing that.Holy cow, as Scooter would say -- why didn't I try this stuff before? It's a gel, it's concentrated and it really does the job. Apply it with a clean rag, or with one of those curved foam applicators you will see here on amazon (look at the Eagle One applicators that amazon sells in two packs - you can get a dozen for less than a ten spot). I put a small amount on a rag and massage it into the sidewall of a clean, dry tire. Let it sit overnight. Wipe it with another cloth to remove any excess - there won't be much -- and to buff it to a bit more of a shine. You will have a nice smooth surface on your tires -- sort of a semi-gloss finish like a new tire. You will not have tire gel thrown onto your rims, wheel wells and paint when you drive off. And you will have clean, semi-glossy tires for quite a long time. I last applied Sonax to my Pilot Super Sports two weeks ago, and we have had more than our share of rain (and hail!). The tires still look pretty darned nice, after three or four washes and a good bit of foul weather driving.In short, this is the best tire treatment I've ever used. It may seem pricey, but a little goes a long way, and I don't think the cost per application is more than the competition. It's GREAT.

Great product! This product is in gel form; you wipe it onto your tire with a sponge. Unlike some other tire glossers, you won't have to worry about spraying the stuff all over or leaving residue on your garage floor. Unlike a lot of other tire products I've used, this stuff lasts (provided you follow the instructions)! I recommend wiping your tires with this product at the end of the day, and leaving it for a night. I've fount that the product works best this way. It won't sling, and it'll last for weeks (as long as it doesn't rain)! Clean tires and wheels really help the car look new and in pristine condition, so I couldn't recommend this product more!

I really love the wet gloss show finish and goes well with my glossy glass black car. If applied when tires are dry you won’t get it splashed on the side of your vehicle. If not wet lasts for 3-4 days before it gets dull. If rained on it will strip some gloss but you still have a nice matte black.Only complain it’s pricey and don’t like how the tube applicator slides out this leaves some to drip at base of cap when flipping on its side when applying. I normally wear latex gloves so not a big deal but has left a little mess on shelve.

If you like super glossy tires, this product is for you! Very impressed on how glossy it is & how glossy it stays. The trick is to apply it in light coats. It will tack off and actually stay on the tire. I’m not sure how it reacts as far as on a daily driver…..but I’m impressed with it on my truck that I show.

Okay, I've used brands that leaves a foam, brands that are sprayed on, brands that tell you to sponge it on, and every one of them had something less than desirable. This is more like a goo, with a viscosity slightly thicker than a cooking oil; which most people should be familiar with. The goo actually stays on the tire and wasn't all over the side of the car when you drive away, some of you might know what I'm talking about if you happened to use some watery dressings in the past. The shine on it seems to last longer and it really does give it a showroom shine, which is a shame given the scratches, road rashes, and dents in the alloy rim; one curb too many. If you're looking for your next favorite tire dressing, this is it, just don't try and cook with it or put it on a salad. Though the blue goo looks like it'd be a nice popsicle this is best served on your tires.

Huge Sonax Fan and I use only their polishes and window cleaners . I bought this hoping it was like their other products but this did not meet my expectations. It claims to be no sling but it does sling, the shine is not as high as expected. I am loyal to Sonax and will continue to use all their other products but there tire shine needs some work

Easy to use although a bit sticky but great look!
