Yeah, I agree with Must See, and make sure you aren't using too much tire shine.

it'll be alright anywho. one or two times of a lot of tire shine on paint and gloss won't damage it. just clean it well after it slings. :]

You need to use less product and allow it to dry longer. I found one of the best products for tire shine and little sling is Meguires tire gel its purple and works great. Just do not use a lot of the product.

Ya done gone put too much of that **** on ther boy.

Use a foam applicator to put it on, and rub it in hard (naughty). Should take no more than 30 minutes to dry.

On a side note, Kmart has all kinds of **** on clearance and I picked up 3 mother's clay bar kits for $8 each and another tub of meguiar's gold class paste wax for $5.00. Suck it

I haven't used mother's paste wax yet, only wax of theirs I've used is the cleaner wax and that doesn't last very long. I'm satisfied with Meguiar's for an over-the-counter product. But once I'm out I'm going to start order my waxes.
