Default Tire Shine Product Help

I have been using Armor All's Extreme Tire Shine Gel. After several applications I found that the gel ends up mixing with dirt and brake dust and ultimately turns into a shinny black tar mess that WILL NOT wash off with soap and water!!! I had to use industrial use orange oil to wash my tires and still some tar residue remained.

So what products do you recommend? I like my tire to have a very high gloss.

Thanks for the help. But off the subject, I just have to ask about that sticker; It's great! Is it on your car? And if so, where did you get it?

Not on my car just yet, I found this picture surfing the web and going to present to a guy down here to possibly have him make me some. If I do, I'll let you and the whole board know.

A great sticker none-the-less.

+1 on this. I recently got hooked up w/ this product and am seriously considering just chucking the rest of my tire shine products right in the trash.
