i have used them all and the best so far is the zaino tire shine. its more of a matte finish tho not super glossy but still shing and it dont come off like all the others do.

Isn't that kinda expensive these days?



I recommend Armor All Detailers Advantage Tire Shine, comes in aerosol form. A professional detailer recommended the stuff to me...and I immediately understood why. Very easy to apply and control depth, you don't have to brush it, but you can if you want more uniformity, and best of all, it doesn't fling all over your paint.
