Well, what you want is Black Magics Titanium Matte Tire Finish
http://www.blackmagicshine.com/produ...te-tire-finish
Restores the deep black to the tire, has -->NO SLING<--, doesnt sit on your rim like some glossy chap stick collecting dirt, and is easy to apply.

Considering how many companies make "tire wet" products, I would hardly say they are "gay." In the end, it boils down to preference. I agree with those that say that without a freshly washed car doesn't look complete.

What you really want is Hyper Dressing. Do a search for it you will love it and never look back

It depends on how much dust you want to stick to your tires........

I personally like 'tire shine' i use it after I wash the truck, every time. But like someone else said... use it then wait 2-3 minutes and wipe away so you have the clean look but not the glazed donut look.

I might get flamed & banned for this, Flame suit is on!

am not a hardcore fan of super shiny wet looky tires (well I used to but not anymore) I like the Matte clean Deep black look more, but maybe that's me,

Anyway, I use Duragloss Non Silicone Tire Dressing, which I think is Ok, It gives a Deep shiny look after wash and after few days It will turn to matte black (no sticky gel) & would last for few weeks (in good weather) which i think is great!

After wash






Ignore this bullet in the tire

Definitely a little less shiny, stick to flat/matte.
