What is the best long lasting tire dressing? 303 works great inside the car and on the seals around the door but it just doesn`t give that shine on the tires or last that long against heat and rain. All opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

Eagle One Concours and Zaino Tire dressing. They have the perfect gloss for me and last 2 weeks instead of 2 days.

Z16 is the longest lasting I ever tried. It has a low gloss though. For a high gloss, I like 2001 tire gel by turtle wax in the green bottle. It is hard to find now.....



Both go on with no mess, and last.

Vinylex for a medium gloss. Black Opal for a higher gloss. They both last at least a week.

Z16 by Zaino. Lasts a long time and easy to use. Need to apply very little. Bottle should last for months!!

I hear that Zaino Z16 is the best one available today.

I hear Griot`s Garage tire dressing is used by Concours winners. Zaino is similar to Griots but a bit glossier. I use them both.

You will find that the durability of the Z-16 far surpasses that of the 303. 303 has it`s place, but it just cannot compare to the Z-16. The Z-16 is also great for exterior trim, EPDM rubber, etc. Love it!

As many others said, Z-16 rocks! Lasts long, has a perfect shine.

My top choice is Z-16 for my Honda`s and 300M and EF Black Opal on the F-250 SD. Just like anything else, tire surface prep is so important to get a good, lasting shine. I clean the tires with a brush and EF Hi-Intensity before application.

My preference is Griot`s. Not too shiny and not too flat. And as Griot says, "A little goes a long way."



Have not tried the Z16 though.

Z16 -- easy on, lasts, and nice matte shine.

Looks like it will be EO Concourse, Z16, or Griots. Thanks for your help.
