I use Zano tire dressing and really like it. Now it doesn't give that wet shinny finish but rather a nice bright clean tire look. What I like about it is it will last for about 2 weeks and it does not collect dust and dirt as some of the more oily ones do. If you want that wet look then it may not be what you are looking for.

Maguires makes some good stuff too. It lasts for a couple weeks.

I just bought a bottle of the meguires gel tire dressing, and its very nice. Deep shine, really no sling-off from it.

I have the Mequir's product too. I rub it on with a cloth, as I don't like to just spray it on. It looks good.

I agree, but it depends on what type of tire you have. When I had the stock Pirelli's, the stuff would get caught up in the sidewall design. When I put on my new wheels and tires (the tires are 285/255 Nitto 555's), the stuff works great! I have a black car, and I've never used a tire dressing that would "out-shine" a freshly-waxed car until I tried that tire gel... : )

I tried Wolfgang Tire Gel, which looked great and I'd use it for show. But it would come off and get all over my front fenders and doors! Even after waiting over 24 hours before driving!
I'm now back to using Armorall.
i guess I should look into the Meguire's.
Can those recommending it please give the full name from the front of the bottle?

I'm friends with Armorall "Extreme Tire Gel" which is in an orange container and comes with one foam applicator. I've found it to be my favorite so far, although it doesn't have the most gloss it still works good.

My favorite tire shines are the ones that make the tires look soaking wet, but haven't actually found one that I can use yet like that.
