wheel tire shine!
what are you guys using for wheel tire shine/dressing that's not too greasy/shiney or getting all over the wheels once they're clean thinking of maybe getting CG's http://www.chemicalguys.com/Hybrid_V...l_p/tvd808.htm
or something satin? http://www.chemicalguys.com/Natural_..._p/tvd_201.htm doesn't have to be typically CG but they sell 1 gallon sizes which is nice

I've been using Adam's VRT (Vinyl Rubber Tire) dressing for about ten years now. The absolute best there is. You can get it from www.detailersdomain.com
Recently tried Wolfgang's Black Diamond Tire Gel from AutoGeek, but the consistency is too watered-down and the shine is a bit much. I've been having to take an old towel to the tires shortly after application to mitigate the shininess.

I like Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance. Might be too shiny for some but it's not messy and lasts a long time.

I've used Meguiar's like forever but I don't recall that tire dressing? Probably too shiney tho?

I don't think it's too shiny. I doesn't look wet. It really brings out the black and does have a luster to it, but not that candy/reflecting shine that some tire dressings have.
I know some folks don't want any shine at all but I do like a little. |

I'm using Tuf Shine Tire Clearcoat. It's a little pricey but it's a sealant rather than a tire dressing. Much longer lasting than any of the dressings I have used. I applied it back in December and tires still look good even after driving through all the salt and mess of Michigan winters. Gives the tires a nice black look without being too shiny or greasy. Very happy with the results.

I think that one definitely is on the shiny side.

I really like the Wheel Wax Extreme Black tire dressing. It is water-based (so non-greasy) and applies evenly with an applicator sponge. The result is very black but not shiny nor slick. I've noticed that when you wash the tire the next time, the tire still looks good without adding more dressing. I've noticed other dressings, and particularly the ones that leave an oily film, tend to turn brown with age and seem to trap dirt. So far, Wheel Wax dressing does not do that.
Cheers.

I've been using Wheel Wax for about 15 years...... LOVE IT!!! I just use a duster to remove the brake dust. When I have to wash I don't need a special cleaner to remove the brake dust.

Personally I don't like the spray ones because its easy to overspray and smudge the paint. Applying it directly provides total control and provides an easy and uniform gloss. Good luck!

I have tried most. Gel, Spray & etc and keep coming back to Zaino.
It is water based, not too shiny and one bottle lasts for ever.

I have always been a big fan of Meguiar's Endurance® Tire Gel but it is a little shiny(which i like) but not over the top and a little goes a very long way.
But maybe something like Gyeon Q2 Tire would be something for you to consider

This is great as at least I'm getting feedback from products actually used and your guy's impressions
