what type of look?

Do you prefer a wet/glossy look, or a non-glossy/matte look for tires?

For tires? Interior trim? Something else?

I like a non-greasy satin sheen.

I want the black to stand out, but not look wet. A semi-gloss look is ok, but I mainly want the black to contrast with the color of the car.

With the shine and gloss of my finishes and highly polished chrome rims only a hi-gloss non-greasy tires appears detailed.

depends on what mood i am in, sometimes i like matte, sometimes I want to get a little more attention, and I go with glossy wet.
