That is the worst product I have ever used.
They are right about one thing though, it last weeks (even months)
I put that crap on my tires, and almost instantly the tires turned a brownish yellow, and 3 months later , despite all kinds of washing them, that color still remained.
Finally here it is 6 months later, and the tires are back to being black.
You can keep that junk.

The tires were cleaned prior to using the product.
I use another product from Meguiar's that works a lot better than that gel.
It is a spray on called hot shine.

Huh. Sorry to hear about that. It's been a while since I used the product, but I don't recall ever having that issue. The biggest issue I had was having the excess sling off the tire, but I learned to let it soak for a bit and then wipe off the excess.

I usually get the 303 online when buying other car cleaning supplies, but I believe you can find it at Marine stores. It's pretty popular in those circles too.

And speaking of Stoner's, their Invisible Glass is the only thing I use on car windows. That and an old terry cloth towel, no fabric softener when washing the towel.

You guys are tempting me to try this 303 product, and sounds like online is about my only option even though I never bought cleaning type products online.
What is a Marine Store?

Well I was actually thinking on the lines what you stated at first. I was thinking maybe it was like Army Navy store, lol

I live near 3 lakes you would think there would be plenty of 'Marine' stores.
Mostly we have Bait & Tackle shops or maybe that is what 'marine stores are called around here.
There is a Bass Pro Shop nearby Ill look there or try google the product with a major city nearby name.

I just feel that a good tire shine is needed for a clean vehicle.

Best product I ever used. (Used to use it on outdoor hot-tub covers and car bras). I had to get it mail-order. Not cheap, but works very well.
I appreciate recommendation on this Aerospace. I have used this product over a month, with a few rain showers and this stuff still have my tires shining.
Except the edge of tires that have encounter red mud, small touch up for that the next wash.
You guys where not kidding this stuff is pricey, but wow this stuff holds worth the price.
I use applicator to apply so I really only using a small amount I can see this one bottle lasting me a couple of years.
