I have used Black Magic gel and think it`s far superior to all of the other brands out there that can be bought at a local auto-store. Is there a better product out there?

I find that the Meguiar`s works very well. I use the regular endurance stuff, not the hi-gloss. It lasted a full week despite there being a foot of snow on the ground. I`m fairly sure it`ll last longer once it isn`t so wet out.

What kind of shine are you looking for? Ultra-shiny or matte-black, natural looking?

I`ve used Eagle One Tire Gel before. It gives it a really shinny look and can be buffed down to a less reflective shine.
I have recently been using ProWax`s Premium Blue dressing. I apply it, let it sit for a few minutes, and then buff it down. Really makes the tires look nice.

The product(s) that is suggested really depends on what you would like the finish on your tires to look like.
Are you after the baby oil look, or a concours look? They are extremely different.
Can you be a little more specific in what your preference is?

As in very reflective.

Well, I`ve tried a lot of shiny tire dressings from Eagle One Wet gel to Black Magic, and I`m not too trilled from any of their results. The majority of them feel greasy and attract dust.
But if you like that high-gloss shine, check out Meguiar`s Endurance. It is still greasy though...

I`m a fan of One Grand E.R.V. dressing...gives the lowest sheen out of every product I have tried! :bow
