Default Has anyone tried Black Magic Titanium Tire shine

Saw this on the internet and was wondering if any of you guys have tried it. It claims not to sling off the tires on to therest of the car. I mostly use 303 on my tires but was thinking about trying something new.

Thoughts...warnings...testimonials

I have not used that particular product, I personally use Mequiars Hot shine tire gel. Easy application and coverage, long lasting and no slinging onto sides of cars.

No tire dressing will sling if you just go back over it with a cotton towel.

rub it on, let it sit, buff it...
and then if you want do it again.
and as gpwhites2kftw said its the final buff that keeps the slinging down.


btw, if its a motorcycle, also keep the product away from the tread (if you go too far onto the tread, its not slinging thats the issue- instead its "tire slippage")

I used other Black magic tire shine and it feels like honey. Extremely sticky and slings terribly. I dont recommend their brand of products for tires, however I have not tried the one in questions. Meguiars NXT or Hot Shine for me. 303 is a close 2nd as I do like the matte finish it leaves.

I like Adam's VRT, but Zaino makes a good protectant as well (Z16?). Both give the matte finish if you use a foam applicator and buff it off.

I currently picked up the product and love it. I simply let the product dry and haven't had any problems with slinging.

Stoner "More Shine, Less Time" for me. No slinging, and it's a nice in between - kind of shiny, but not that used car lot look either. And, I can readily find it at Pep Boys and Autozone.
