My next question: what is the best, shiniest, longest-lasting tire wet that you know of?
It's worth pointing out that I am looking for that really obnoxious shine that I know some of you don't like (I grew up in Jersey, give me a break). I have tried pretty much every generic brand at the auto parts stores and am mostly unimpressed. I totally appreciate the deep black matte look but just prefer something way glossier. Does someone on the inside of the detailing or auto dealer industry have a source for me?
As a little kid, I remember my dad used to get his car washed at these super-sketchy car washes in inner city NJ, where all kinds of interesting people would swarm your car afterwards to dry it off and dress it. Anyway, one of those guys had a plastic milk jug with the side ripped off, with some really tasty looking brownish liquid sloshing around in there, and he would paint it on the tires with an old paintbrush. I don't know what that stuff was, but it lasted forever.
