I like a lot of shine on my tires but I do not like the goop that most silicon based tire shines have and not to mention they attract dirt worse that a magnet, what are the best high shine water based tire shine products out there? Need somme suggestions have to make an order soon.
 
I like 1z-einszett's Vinyl and Rubber Protector, for a shine I think you probably need 2 coats. Another good choice is Optimum Opti-Bond.
 
For a high shine water bases tire dressing I can only think of Poorboys Bold and Bright. There are others but its just not coming to mind right now. Tropi care/ShowroomFx v2 is another one but you might need two or so applications.
 
I also like Zaino Z-16.



If you like hi-shine though, go for Megs Hotshine or Wolfgang Tire Gel. I don't believe its water based but its nice and shiney (you can always wipe down to reduce the shine to a desirable level), doesn't attract much dirt, and keeps a matte black tire once the shine wears off for weeks.
 
Go to your local Autozone and pick up the Eagle One No Drip Tire Shine Gel. It costs about 4 or 5 dollars and is water based. It's not really liquid it's a gel and is very high gloss and no drips. I have been using this for about a year now and it's my favorite now. I used to use Mothers FX Tire Shine but I can't find it locally any more so I switched to the Eagle One.
 
Bold & Bright is good but I've recently come to like Meg's Hyperdressing. One thing about it s you can dilute it to suit your preference on shine. I use it 1 part ot 3 of water and it gives a nice finish. 1 to 1 would be very shiny. It dries to the touch after a while so it doesn't attract dust.
 
right around $6 and one bottle will last a long time. this and also the EO1 no drip tire shine gel have worked well IME...

I just got some of the new Optimum tire gel, and it's amazing. It's water-based, but after the first application I drove it through two rainstorms and it didn't seem to come off at all. It looks like more of a cream than a gel, and goes on very easy. Great stuff.

not IME, compared to all the other tire gel dressings and it's water based so it doesn't create and leave a mess to clean up. this is easily one of the the best OTC tire gel dressings out, and it's reasonably priced as well. one bottle lasts quite a while...

i use showroom fx stuff, i love it 2 coats give a nice deep mat look three or more bumps up the gloss it lasts like 3 weeks, and is right around 30 a gallon cant beat it plus they have a new apc thats 10 beans a gallon to justify your shipping charges!
 
Meg's Hyper Dressing is about the most-versatile water based dressing. I like it at 3:1



OptiBond is also good. Lasts a little longer than most water based dressings. I dilute it 1:1 and buff it off with a mf "brick" applicator. It seems to take differently to different tires; some tires it looks really "Black" on, while others it just kinda sits there for a while.



Meg's Natural Shine really shocked me, it does great on certain tires. (BFG and Continental).



PB BoldNBright is a lot like Chem. Guys Silk-Shine Sprayable; they both look 99.999% the same to me (feel/application/final look).
 
I've tried a lot of tire dressings and these are my four favorites one ...



Zaino Z-16- great product, need two coats for maximum gloss.



Duragloss 253- I can't tell the difference between Z-16 and 253. I have noticed that the 253 last a little bit longer though. CarQuest carries the DG line. 251 is the same product, but in a 8oz bottle.



Surf City Beyond Black Tire Pro- recently became an OTC product. Pep Boys, Napa, and Advance Auto Parts should be carrying it.



Showroom FX (Tropi-Care) White Pearl- excellent tire dressing that lasts a long time. Great matte finish with one application.
