    Tire Dressings... So many choices... Geez!

    Wanted:
    1) I don`t like a spray - Prefer to wipe-on/off
    2) Low to medium shine
    3) Not a dust/dirt-collector
    4) No spin-off

    And I want a product that I can purchase off-the-shelf from my local auto store.

    Simple... Yes?

    Are you open to spraying an applicator or do you need a gel or liquid without a sprayer?

    Well, I have really turned on to Turtle Wax Graphene/Acrylic Tire "Coating." While it DOES come in a spray bottle, IME it should NOT be sprayed directly onto the tire, but a few sprays per tire onto an applicator sponge. It works SO MUCH better this way. All you have to do then is wipe the applicator around the tire a few times to get complete coverage, and I don`t find that any wipe off, is needed.

    It tends to dry/soak in on it`s own and DOES NOT spin off or sling. I have been using a single coat and it leaves more of a `clean black` look rather than a shine, and tires treated with it do not seem to get as dirty as they do with other tire shines. Plus it is available at most auto parts stores.

    Seem like it may be what you`re looking for.

    I have been using Car Pro Perl and Gyeon Quartz Q2 Tire with great results.

    I did just pick up a bottle of Kamikaze Kiwi Tire Dressing when it was on sale during Black Friday. I can`t wait to try it out!

    Non of those off the shelf.

    If OP is good to order I would take a look at CP DarkSide.

    Agree, if spray is ok. I gotta lol at a few of the recommendations here. The new TW stuff can only be beat by a true coating or Tufshine, it`s seriously durable. And by durable I don`t mean parked in your garage for six months. It`s drive several weeks with heavy rains mixed in durable. You tires will get dirty before it wears off.

    Depends on tires…. About 3 weeks were I thought it looked good (not to worried about weather/water).

    About a week on Michelins. It’s a good spray product though. I like Tacs Tire coating better but this is easier to get so probably my go to unless DarkSide stands out.

    Tacs is a lot like the TW graphene product. More of a dressing on steroids.
