Tire Shine and Armor All on Rims

[carwasher714]

Hello Everyone,

Using the Simoniz Tire Shiner and having an issue with it leaving chemical on rims that stick out as far as the tire does. I high pressured the pads and adjusted the PSI on each pad to about 19, with an injection of the chemical of 2 seconds per car. There are no rips in the pads, and were using Black Magic tire shine.

Any other suggestions to avoid this headache? I know these machines can be a real pain.

Thank you!

“Any other suggestions to avoid this headache?”

A water-based product that leaves dark satin finish would eliminate slop problem.

Otherwise, as long as you continue to use slime shine, I would say no that’s the nature of the beast.

Reason is black magic contains light mineral oil and silicone to create shine.

I don't see how it's possible to have a machine apply TS and cover 100% of all the different size tires and not touch the rim.

When it comes to "Shine" I don't think a "Satin Finish" offers the needed attraction.

Agree with all the above and that's why its nature of the beast - you need slime for shine and 100 percent is not possible.

try tuning the chemical down a bit. we run ours at 1 second per car to avoid over application, and we still end up with a bit of slop.
