Tyre shine overspray safe on painted satin black rims?
Discussion
Washed my car earlier and decided to use some tyre shine as they were looking a bit grey against the nice clean rims.
However, just wondering now whether it's ok on my painted rims?
You'd think that something which is inevitably going to overspray onto the rims would be designed to be paint safe, and it's not a cleaner or anything (surely just similar to a sealant).
But thought better ask anyway. I'm sure there are alternatives which can be applied by cloth if need be. The stuff I used was some cheapish Carplan spray which I think I bought at a service station or Halfords.

Any thought on here about using old school black shoe polish (the wax in a can), I used to use it all the time will no ill effects in exactly the way you would buff a shoe, it gives you the shine you want depending on the time you spend buffing it, it always seemed to work the best when not applied thickly

k the tyres as silicon degrades the plasticisers in the rubber compound. Micro cracking is the problem.
