I use Zaino tire gloss...it rocks!!! Isn't the Armour All stuff silicone based??? If so, it's bad for the rubber....

Poursha is infamous around these parts
My problem with most tire products is the glossy finish--looks like it belongs on a '75 Caddy.

I use 303 Protectant. Keeps the tires nice and black, with a matte finish, and lasts several washes--usually until the next time you wax.

wax test is an old test.


Zaino was number 1
P21S was # 2.

If you have a specific wax you use and want me to check on let me know


in all honesty the report is a GREAT read and can be found at www.gurureports.com

Where the hell is P21S wheel cleaner? That is actually Porsche's recommendation. It is mild yet effective for delicate finishes.

their "Special Performance Gel Concentrate Wheel Cleaner" came in 14th

the "Hi-Performance wheel cleaner" came in 22nd

They said both were good but on the mild side, good for someone whose car is basically always clean. Very good for delicate wheels.

Zaino is not glossy if applied sparingly...just makes it black.
I agree...just tried 303...Excellent...Use it on all plastic engine parts and hoses...also on the window rubber trim...great stuff!!!

When I run out of Zaino, I will probably use 303 on the tires
