Tire Dressing

Whats the best tire dressing you guys have used. Something that obvioulsly looks great, and lasts a long time. I know about all of the Zaino products and that theirs is probably a good one, but what is a good one I can just pick up at like an auto zone?

Stoner's "More Shine, Less Time" is very good. Also works good on the black plastic around the bottom of the windshield.

I've been using Meguire's Endurance for a while... good shine, decent longevity, minimal 'slinging'...

I used and liked the original Meguiar's Endurance, but they changed it. If it hadn't been changed, I'd still be using it.

I guess Meguiar's Endurance is that purple crap? If it is, that's what I use. I'm pleased with it. Lasts a good time, looks good, but slings a little bit. Definatley better that Wet and Black, a clear liquid (by Turtle Wax i think) that takes coats upon coats and needs to be applied constantly, I hated that stuff.

Meguires Endurance and Meguires Endurance High Gloss are two very different formulas. The original Meguires Endurance (non-high gloss) contains no silicone or anything else that will prematurely age your tires, make them turn brown, crack, fade, sling up on your paint, etc as 95% of the other tire dressings on the market will do... one of those 95% is the "High Gloss" form of Meguires High Endurance. I'm not sure why they decided to change their formula for their new glossier product (maybe because it's cheaper and easier to make a tire look like a glazed donut by using silicone?), but it sucks.

Personally I prefer 303 Aerospace protectant. It makes the tire look new, nothing more, nothing less. And it protects it better than anything else on the market. Which is all I care about.

If a product makes the tire look wet or dripping, then I am not a fan of the product. I dont care for any of the gels on tires with ribs or lots of lettering. Actually the only gel I liked was and is the cheapest, the Turtle Wax Tire Wax.

I prefer Zaino Z-16, 303, or Meguiars number 40 I think it is...
More of a concours look, natural sheen...

I use the eagle one wet tire gloss spray, its just a clear bottle with a clear liquid inside it. I spray it on the applicator and then wipe it on the tire, im really impressed with it.
