Ok so I recently got some red walls for my T. When they where put on I was told I could not use any tyre shine that is silicone based as it can remove the paint and was told to only use water based.

The problem is I cannot for the damn life of me find any water based tyre shine, every company I have phoned or read at auto shops is silicone based. The staff at these shops would not even no what a bloody tyre is let alone what im after.

Does anyone no any brands and the product name that sell water based tyre shine???

Did you ask the place that sold you the tyres, they may know of a brand.

Had my tyres done as well and was told the same thing. But, couldn't live without shiny tyres so looked around for a product without silicon and stuff. As I was already using some of the CHEMICAL GUYS products (which are brilliant), I ordered their Black Forever Gel which is a water based product. Not as shiny as the silicon stuff, but rather gives the tyres a "as new" satin look which kinda looks awesome. Seems to last pretty well between applications (using a foam applicator) and I hope it will be "soft" on the red walls over time.
