    Looking for a better tire dressing brand...

    I want to get a better tire dressing to use on my car. I`ve been using hyper dressing, but I`m not liking the gloss it leaves and how short it stays on. What I`m looking for is a good tire dressing that will leave a low gloss sheen that makes the tires look more `black` that will last a while. If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it
    Get your shine on!

    I really like Zaino`s tire coating. I have used it for three years now. No high gloss and no product sling.

    I LOVE Optimum Opti-Bond and Poorboy`s World Bold N Bright .. both work very well for me and I get pretty long lasting results from the Opti-Bond .. no sling and a pretty natural black tire .. hope that helps !!

    No Touch aerosol can, OTC. Spray / foam it on, wipe off. Not real glossy but makes tires look darker; doesn`t sling very much, really no sling at all if you let it dry for a while before driving.

    I`ll be honest .. never diluted it .. goes on perfect for me and looks great .. have used maybe 5 applications so far and barely made a dent in it so it should last a LONG while

    Opti Bond here. Used both ways, at full strength and 1:1. Currently using 1:1. See no reason not to. I apply it with the tire foam applicator from AG. Good stuff!

    I really like DP tire gel. It can also be used 1:1 and put in a spray bottle. AG has it on BOGO sometimes for a very great value. OPT tire shine is very nice also.

    Nero.

    Of course any brand will be satisfactory if you clean and redress the tires at every wash. For me that is weekly. Even NuVinyl looks good for a week!

    I use Poorboys Bold n Bright, Mothers Reflections, and Optimum Opti-Bond Gel and they all are in the low sheen category. PB`s has the most variable (seems to be thinner so you can build up the sheen). Opti Bond has what I call a dark wet look and Mothers is just more matte but again application technique plays a major factor.

    If you are looking for just nice black tires and no sheen what so ever and something that lasts for a long time, my vote goes to Dodo Juice Tyromania.

    I find OPT tire shine (new version) to be pretty shiney on most tires.

    It does last a pretty long time though , at least 2 weeks if not more.

    I have noticed you have suggested or used this many times. I originally picked some up 2 years ago for rubber seals on doors and such. But tonight I tried it out on one of our cars. So far it looks nice. I want to see it in the sun tomorrow before I make any decisions. Hopefully it doesn`t sling.... Thanks for another option Todd.
