Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Coating (Aerosol)

 Zero to Shine in less than 60 seconds!

   Meguiar's new Hot Shine Aerosol Tire Spray is a winner! We saw mock-ups of this product in November of 2002 at SEMA, the auto industry's aftermarket trade show and have been anxiously awaiting it arrival.

    Three features peaked my interest in this product:

1. It's the first product I've ever seen with an adjustable, 3-way, aerosol spray head. The settings of wide, medium and narrow allow you to adjust the spray pattern to fit the profile of your tire.
2. Meguiar's claimed a high gloss finish with just one application. We offer other aerosol tire shine products but they require a second spray to create a uniform gloss.
3. A claimed treatment of 50 tires per can! With other aerosol tire shine products, you're lucky to get 12 to 15 tires per can.

    Now that I've had an opportunity to actually use this product, I'm pleased to report it's as good as claimed. In fact it's better!

    The adjustable, 3-way spray head really works. My Audi came with low profile  tires and I was constantly spraying product on the wheels when using other aerosol dressings. With the spray head set at "narrow", I was able to obtain a uniform coating with minimum over spray.

    Was I able to create a uniform gloss with one coating? Yes! I didn't feel the need to apply a second coating.

    Meguiar's prints "High Gloss" on the can which had me concerned. I'm not a fan of glossy, plastic-looking tires. I would not characterize this as a high gloss product. On my tires, the finish was deep and black, a look that compliments my car. I didn't find it overly shiny.

    Will a can treat 50 tires? I don't know. I sprayed the tires on three vehicles and the can still felt mostly full. With the other aerosol product I had been using, after 12 tires the can was approaching empty. Even if Hot Shine only treated 25 to 30 tires, it would be a bargain!
