Tire dressing please read!

I will save all of you money and time. I just got done waxing my E93 and applying a new tire dressing that i bought for my BMW wine tour trip. The product is called Titanium wet gel form Black magic. It comes with clear gel that you apply to a little sponge that is provided. I followed the directions and placed the product on the tires, not applying to much, because I did not want it to fly off the wheel. I let it dry overnight and took off on the road trip. To my amazment when I got to my first stop I noticed black spots like grease all over the car. I thought I ran over a oil rig I was pissed and imbarrased. Thank god I brought a microfiber cloth and Meguiers quick detailer spray for emergencys. It took some force to get the black goo off, but I got it all, and when I got home I had to get it off of my rims and the wheel wells. Never buy this piece of shit product, I should make Black Magic pay for my detail work. I have used Black magic spray tire dressing with no problems. I guess the gel was to good to be true. I love to take care of my fellow BMW brothers.

You probably put too much on. Shiny black tires look stupid anyway. They should be a satin black.

EDIT...fixed my spelling error.

I love Zainos tire shine. This stuff dries very quickly and is specifically made not to sling off. One coat has a matte sheen, and you can apply multiple coats if you want more shine. It also smells like pink bubble gum

this happens with MOST super shiny tire dressings...i havent applied tire shine for about 2 weeks now. as long as my rubber isnt brown I dont do it because it makes the rims and car so dirty within 5 minutes of driving. (EVEN if you let it dry)

The stuff you can buy at the dealer, although very expensive, is one of the best tire dressing products that I have ever used. I was very impressed, especially considering it was a "BMW" car care product.
