    I’m sure this has been posted before but which dressing have you guys found that looks wet and doesn’t sling?

    I was using “coverAll” but it’s an aerosol spray and even in the garage, I would find little dots all over the paint and would have to wipe her down 2-3 times before it subsided

    Wax addict but I think they change the formula so I don’t know if it’s better or not now.

    I also use wax addict. I've only used the new formula once or twice but didn't notice much difference vs. the old one.

    Good to know! Luckily I’ve got 3 1/2 bottles left LOL. But when the time comes I’m happy to hear it’s the same stuff.

    No but I do go to Havasu. Haven’t been in a while but I was a river rat for a long time.

    Gotcha. Still good times out here but a lot has changed since you’ve been, I’m guessing

    From what I've heard (no experience) that any tire shine you put on looks great for a little bit....but after that the dust and dirt gets attravatt to it and it makes the wheel look dirty? Anyone experience that?

    Yeah every time I go it looks different. I still love it out there though. I wouldn’t mind retiring there someday. My buddies have a couple places at the beachcomber on the island, right next to site 6. I think I haven’t been in five years. You know, now that I got a family LOL. I have been up to Parker a few times recently. That place hasn’t changed much.

    Not nearly enough room here!
    1012180846.jpg My favorite is Meguiar's Hot Shine in the spray cans. After spraying a good even coat on, I let it dry, then wipe it down to get any build-up off. Never slings for me, when I can let it dry long enough. Tried Car Guys Tire Dressing the other day, it's at least as good as Meg's, if not better.

    Adams Polishes makes some decent tire dressing. Lasts a week easy but needs to dry first.

    Waxaddict if applied properly, will not sling, but it’s not high gloss. It lasts a good while. It looks really great in my opinion, but you said you want a wet look. Waxaddict does not give you that.

    My wife and daughters do prefer the glossy wet look. For them, I use Meguair’s Tire Gel. It’s a great product. Lasts a long time, and doesn’t sling as long as you don’t over apply it. It’s available pretty much everywhere.
