What is the best tire dressing in your opionion? I can't find any that I really like...picked up some turtle wax wet and black yesterday which I really didn't like.

I have been using and really liking Mothers FX Tire Dressing.
 
best otc tire dressings are:

mothers fx-mothers have only been able to find at pepboys

michellin tie shine-michellin only at autozone

dupont teflon tire shine-and dupont has always been seen at advance auto


they're all sooooooo easy to use and for being waterbased tend to really last a lot. except after rainstorms.

I like this too.

Believe it or not, I also like the look that Formula 2001 gives
 
I know I must sound strange...but I really like NXT Protectant. I clean the tires well with a GPC..rinse... let almost totally air dry, then spray on the NXT and leave it alone!! No rubbing....leave it for about 1/2 hour, then wipe off the residue with an old towel. For some reason, this gives me the look I like..a nice, black sheen...not super wet plasticy look. Amazingly, my tires still look great a week later...even driving in the rain. Whenever I see the Protectant on sale, I grab a couple of bottles.

a good detail friend of mine (co-workers husband) is what iw ould a call a good carwasher in the sense that hes not a total idiot and has common sense (i wouldnt call him a detailer tho) and one of the products he uses on his tires is formula 2001. his wifes 530i's tires look awesome and last for days. only thing stopping me is the fear of the petroleum based product brownign my tires.

only waterbased for ME
 
OTC i like the megs high endurance. Alot of people complain about it browning your tires but if you properly clean and dress them it won't happen. As far as pro detail line i like Detailers Choice Solventbased.
 
I like megs Hot Shine Tire Spray in the trigger bottle. It lasts a really long time and I have no browning at all. It isn't too shiney either, which I like too.

I agree. Megs HE is the best. It's available OTC which makes it easy to get. I also like that it's a gel so there's no chance of staining the driveway with it. I apply it with EO Tire Swipes and have never experienced browning or sling. I agree that it's important to clean your tires occasionally. Don't just throw the dressing on over a dirty tire.

As a versatile product that will dress tires from a matted to super wet look PB B-n-B is a great product...I like shinny tires so I apply this one with a natural sea sponge slightly wet and then sprayed with B-n-B wipe tires let dry and repeat for super wet look....It last about a week or more depending in the weather conditions..you can also use this product on vinyl, plastics and all sorts of surfaces.
 
Dave, I like shiny tires too! Have you tried the Wipe N Shine that P&S makes? It usually takes one application to get that really wet look, and it dries evenly without blotching too. sometimes it takes a second coat on truck/suv tires but it works great, a gallon goes a long ways.

(Sory for the hi-jack)

A gallon's lasted you a year? Lol, you must really like BNB, I'll have to try some if I ever make a PB order
And yes, we do need to get together sometime! Every time we try and put something together I usually end up doing something else, but now that it's winter it might be eaiser .

(Sorry for yet another hi-jack)
