Re: If you like a deep black matte finish on your tires--

FWIW, I am in love with Zaino Z16. Two very light coats, followed by a buff, and the matte black finish is outstanding...and quite durable. I still have Poorboy's BnB on the shelf as well, which offers very similar results with a moderate comparable hit to durability. The cool thing about either - if you're into the glossy look, skipping the buff offers great results without approaching the "gorilla snot" effect of many high-gloss dressings.
I used the Z16 for a few years but am trying to move away from Zaino products to more reasonably priced, but comparable products. The 3M Tire Restorer didn't require any wipe down after application. I cleaned the tires with Wesley's and applied the 3M--glossy when wet, but as it dried turned deep matte black.
