Back on July 4th I came across a product I decided to test. I think this product might have a place as an up charge service. This product is called Tuf-Shine and is a very long lasting tire shine. While testing it I had many clients and others ask me how I kept my tires looking great for so long. This product is like a sealant for tires. It is not a petrol based product, but rather water based. You must remove ALL previous tire shine products for this stuff to adhere; you get a great cleaner with the tire shine that will do the job VERY well.


Let me just say I’m not connected with this company in any way!


I have really tired to test this with many conditions. I did not wash the tires for 2weeks, I took my explorer on 20+ miles of 4x4 trails, and through several days of rainstorms it held up and looked great I even curbed my tires and scraped the shine off, I just did a quick re-apply and it’s very hard to tell. While the shine reduced some, it is very much still there. The only test I have yet to do is can it be topped with other products, but why would you do this??

I have this product on my mother in laws Honda Odyssey, my wife’s Odyssey and both of them are 3 weeks since application and its going great.

After a few more weeks of testing I’m going to “strip” it off and see how easy it is to remove………..why because some might not like the look. Most of the people seem to be willing to pay 20$ for this longer lasting tire shine.

I have taken several photos of the tests, including a video of the wash and wipe down after the 4x4 trail trip.









These photos are of the wheels after almost a month.







While this may not be for you the discerning Blissians, my clients are lining up after my simple tests are done to get this on their tires.

Cheers,
GREG

Definitely looks like a promising product Greg, I'll have to try it out myself.

Looks promising. Where do you get this product? What, did you just call us "Autopians?"

There's a thread on another board talking about long lasting shines being bad for tires. It could be FUD since the person stating it is a product mfg, but who knows.

looking to pick some up

Found their website. They also have a product called Black Restore for trim which they claim will "will permanently revitalize older, weathered looking surfaces." I have my doubt about that one, but it is worth a try, even if it lasts for a couple of months. Ok, so if anybody else gets this product, please post a review.

People were doubtful of Black Wow at first too, it's always worth a shot on a guinea pig car.

it is called tuf-shine. If I posted the actual web site I'm sure that would be taboo, so just google it.
