Have you tried the Meguiar's gold class high endurance tire shine?
The Nxt tire shine is good too neither of the two splatter too much.
I personally dont like a shiny look, so i use the Meguiar's natural shine.
Use a foam applicator that always helps

if you want a really wet look, Meguiars Insane Tire Shine is hard to beat.

I use Meguires Gold. Its a spray on, very easy. Only thing is you have to wipe down your wheels afterwards. Looks AWESOME if you apply it and then wash it.

so Meguires seems to be winning. I'll have to try that applicator b/c i always get over spray on the wheels, and have to wipe them.

I use WD40.... works ok............













j/k I use to like a lot the "Armor All Detailers Advantage" it did work great and lasted a long time with very little product application, its no longer available and I've searched for it! Maybe it was one of those products too good to be true....

i just hate how some tire shines leave that gunky build up on the tires after you use it. then you have to clean that off to reshine them to look good. its probably not the shine that does it, more the dirt that sticks to it, but i still hate it.

Pretty much. Everything but their gold class leather cleaner, the one in the spray bottle, the turtle wax leather cleaner is MUCH better!
