I have used Meguier's Endurance tire gloss gel and it worked very well in not slinging and lasting a long time. However, I had a problem with build up aroung the lettering on my tires requiring a workout with a stiff brush every car wash to get this build up off. Other people have good luck with Black Magic products, but my vote goes to Zanio Z-16 tire dressing. It is not a High gloss product, but more of a satin black finish. It goes on easy since it is a liguid, not a gel, and and there is no sling, plus lasts a long time with no build up. You may want to try a couple of different things and see what works best for you.

Eagle 1 Wet tire shine...spray a little every couple inches aorund the tire and then go over it with a tire applicator...you can get it at any auto parts store. I do it 2-3 times per tire and it really shines.

I use the Zaino Z-16, it isn't as wet looking as some, which I prefer. It doesn't sling off either.

Zaino Z16 is my #1 choice, mainly because it does NOT sling and leaves good protection for tires and other rubber surfaces.

I would like to try Meguiar's new High Gloss Endurance sometime, but I can't find it anywhere...:( Sometimes I like low/natural gloss on the tires, other times I seem to like more shine.
