CHEAP VS EXPENSIVE: COVERALL TIRE SHINE VS MEGUIARS INSANE TIRE SHINE COATING

[@TOM-rj4fc]

Used both they both do well, that said I think a better test would simply be to leave them on a tire sitting outside over time (days/weeks) and monitor how they last, rather than trying to wash/scrub the coating itself off. I think that's what I've noticed that Coverall does better than most, a couple weeks after I apply it the tires still seem to retain their deep black color better. They are not super shiny, but I don't like that look anyway so even after I apply the product I wipe it off to get a more dark black matte look.

[@larrycricketruss1738]

I use CoverAll with no problem. I spray the tire at the beginning of the detail and by the time I’m done it’s fully cured to the tire, no slinging

[@Unknown2024-esq]

Yes I use both when I can’t find one or the other they both exceptional, cover all I use for interior to does an exceptional job on interior to…

[@victorgarza5292]

I have been using Cover All for the last year on all plastic and tires on my vehicles. Inexpensive and available in a gallon for more coverage on plastics. I use the silicone based, not the California and shines great, stays on for several washes and smells great too. I’m a frequent O’Reilly’s customer now purchasing the other Superior products by the gallon and I am not a detailer, just a vehicle owner who has a little bit of time in his hands.

[@stevenlengyel9701]

I really like the maguires tire shine "reflect". Great shine and longevity. Give it some time to cure and few hrs and I didnt get any sling.

[@paulatteberry3165]

I would like to see how it holds up on the tire drive around for a couple day and then see which one still looks the best. I was painting my tire a long time ago because it lasted for a least 2 weeks or longer.

I’ve used the reg. Coverall a lot and it’s never failed me! lasts for about 2 months in my area.

[@sinal0a__c916]

I used to just keep buying different tire shines for years looking for the right one and never was saticfied with any result until I found California cover all best shine ever and it lasts me for at least 2 weeks until next apply, p.s not a sponsor😛

[@RJC-ps6wc]

I have used the Insane Shine Ultimate Tire Shine and am very happy with it. It works very well on my winter tires because an aerosol does a better job getting into all the grooves on the sidewall. Using it indoors in the garage out of the wind will minimize the overspray. I checked my O'Reilly's and at least my local store does keep the Cover All in stock. So I may have to try it some time!

[@anthonyscott16]

This was really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put it together for us.

[@wayniac34]

Have used both. My preferred in no particular order: Optimum Opti-Bond Optimum Tire Coating Tac Systems Tire Coat Angelwax Elixir CarPro Perl I believe two of these may be made by the same formulator though. Will be trimming this down to two products for 2020.

[@tonymattisson6158]

Is it the Tac System Tire Coat and Carpro PERL that feels like the same product? Have used Tac System Tire Coat and is very happy with it. I don't need to be aggitate it during the summer months but maybe every other month. And gives me the new tire look which I like a lot. How is the durability of Tac vs PERL for you? I have PERL but have not used it on the tires yet as I'm so satisfied with the Tac Tire Coat. Have been interested in the AW Elixir but it seems so like the PERL. Is it so in your experience with the elixir and PERL? Think Angelwax Enigma Elixir is out now too. It's ceramic infused now in this version.

[@wayniac34]

@@tonymattisson6158 Yes those two. Similar durability between TC and Perl. TC would have the edge if I'm splitting hairs. I hate TC's distribution on top of it being the most expensive option I've listed. Elixir is my personal favorite. Shine and durability above and beyond Perl and TC. The two Optimum products I use as part of my detailing services. They are really good as well.

[@wayniac34]

@@tonymattisson6158 Just watched a video on another TAC product. In the comments someone stated CarPro is TAC but branched off. Low and behold TAC replied to that comment and i quote: " We are not CarPro, TAC System of Korea invented CarPro. They branched off in 2010." I haven't been able to find much info on this other than an email from some exec at TAC that stated this as well. In that email the exec stated they were formulators for CarPro and Gy_ _n. Of course I can not confirm the authenticity of the email I saw but you get the idea.

[@tonymattisson6158]

@@wayniac34 absolutely I know of the Tac System was the formulators and they do the chemicals at there too. They where makeing the chemical products for Carpro and think for Gyeon too. Then as I have heard Tac System decided to release their own line of products and stopped the formulation for other companies but still make some of the chemical products at with their formulation. Actually the Quartz Max is said to be the first formulation of Carpro Reload that was so liked. But when Carpro got cut off they needed to be doing a new formula for the Reload and that didn't go well to say the least LOL. Though now Reload has a decent formula after a couple of bad ones. And even if the new formula has been out for almost a couple of years. The bad experience with the 2nd and 3rd IIRC reload versions still is remembered and some stay away from it. What the Tac System rep mentioned that they did break away from Carpro as early as 2010 sounds to long ago. Thinking more like 2014-2015 when Tac System launched their own line of products is more closer to the truth. TS was very early with doing ceramic coating formulation and manufacturing those IIRC in 2006 or 2008. Of cause this is rumors that has been taking from the asian scene of detailing products. So I have not have a confirm on this. But it has been out for many years now these rumors so some truth to it I think it is LOL. The difference that I don't think that the TC and PERL is the same is. That the TC claims to be an acrylic resin based tire coating while PERL claims to be a SiO2 based one. Sure they can be very simualar as I think most water based tire dressing and tire coating is. Just some slightly difference between them in the durability as in how much solids it has and think it's not much of different addetives they can play with in these kind of products. Just a guess though LOL.

[@wayniac34]

@@tonymattisson6158 Thanks for the info as well as the back and forth. Much appreciated! Like I mentioned earlier I'll be moving on from TC due to availability/pricing. If you get a chance to check out Elixir I'd be interested in your experience/thoughts. Thanks again...take care!

[@Lordblackfair]

Ive used armor all extreme, and it only last days and not weeks like it say that it does. I have heard that cover all works well. I have also use meguires products and i didnt like the outcome.

Cover all is the better product. When I detail I spray it on top of the tire as well. Let it bake in the sun. The coverall stays on longer than the other one. In the rain no slip at all. Nj 80 mph wet roads beautiful . No sling if you Let it dry for 3hrs in the sun. Very little sling after 20 mins. I'm running All terrain tires and its pretty hard to fine a product to shine up Good without being Sling all over the place .

I can really appreciate a fantastic shiny paint job but can't stand tires that look like glass. I'll take the water based inexpensive satin to flat tire sheen anytime.

[@Anonymous_________]

These are great, unless you have a gust of wind, then it throws over spray on the car. You can notice it on darker mica style paints.

[@donaldgreen9292]

I rarely use tire shine. My only experience is with Meguiar's tire gel. Yes, it did sling. On the back it said it could be used on trim, I probably didn't apply it right. When it rained, it made a mess. I did find out recently Turtle Wax's Seal and Shine makes a great trim clean and shine. I got some deep cleaning to do on my truck this Spring, like removing trim panels to clean them and under them. Far as shine level I like it with very little shine on tires.

[@clow242]

I spray the cover all on a tire applicator pad and then put it on the tire so it won’t sling. You lose some of the shine but the protection is there.

[@jazzyboy7784]

Spray the tire first and then wipe it down with the applicator pad...think you'll get better results...IMHO.

[@alcarocci532]

I use Thompson water seal for decks..works great top that

[@dextec49]

I use Superior Tire Shine. It last and also use it on the trim too. I buy it at O’Reilly. Great video as also.

[@jazzyboy7784]

That's the exact same thing as ...Cover All...it's made by Superior Products...

[@v.i.p.detailing8930]

So....one thing I've noticed about the Meguires product (compared to almost every other silicone based tire dressing) is that the Meguire's acts differently. When applying, you can tell it REALLY sticks to the tire. When you're leveling it, or "knocking it down", you can feel almost a sticky-friction on your applicator pad. And it's music to my ears because with most silicone based dressings, you either have to soak the tire in order to cover it all, or when you're knocking it down, it starts evaporating off the tire leaving uneven spots. That doesn't happen with the Meg's. I have not yet tried cover-all though.

[@kylefeilmeier7261]

Coverall for me slinged a little, my last step in a detail is wiping in the cover all with a applicator to give it as much time to cure as I can before wiping it in

How do you avoid over spray when using them on your tires?

[@faceLoLROFL360]

When i do mine personally i’ve yet to find a way to prevent overspray but since then ive switched to Meguiar’s tire shine gel and use a foam applicator block to dress it personally i got better results from doing so

[@theconnectedchris305]

i used a piece of yarn tied to a pen on one end and a nail on the other. centered the nail on cardboard and then drew a perfect circle measuring each wheel diameter and cut out the cardboard with a razor knife. i dont have a foolproof method for holding it on the wheel while i spray but this helps with overspray and runs tremendously.

SOS pad or steel wool with APC. The only thing about that is as soon as you apply the steel wool or SOS pad you clean it right off or it’ll leave residue behind. The steel wool also works great on metal bumpers etc.

I remember I used to use Bleach White when I had white walls and raised white letters on my tires in the 80s and 90s.Not sure if its still available.I also used to use a white tire pen as well.

Meguiars Endurance Tire Shine is the best I’ve ever used.

[@missayawk]

Me too David.I would recommend putting it on 1st before drying your car.Wear gloves, put a silver dollar amount on an applicator for use on 2 tires.You dont need much.By the time you finish drying your car its will have absorbed well into the tire.

Ive bought two meguiars reflect tire shine. And both have fail on me. The nozzle ends up not spraying out for some reason and it’s a full Can to the garbage.

[@Nyjetsfan1289]

The Meguiar’s insane is the best tire spray IMO. Only problem I noticed, a lot of the cans are duds and have zero pressure so they won’t spray. But you cannot beat the gloss on it. It has terrible TERRIBLE sling when driving and even when spraying it, it tends to get everywhere all over the car. Meguiar’s makes something called “endurance gel” and it’s basically the same thing only in gel form
