I use Adams stuff. The vrt stuff is great for a natural black rubber look that doesn't sling at all. Their actal tire shine does give you a nice shine, does take more time to dry and keep from slinging.
I prefer water based dressings ...often they take more than a coat in order to get "shiny". They don't use low grade silicones which can damage and bloom the casing of tires. I find Optimums Opti-bond and Carpro's Perl to be great ones. I am also working with our newest formula Pinnacle Onyx Tire Dressing which is designed like a lotion for easier application.
I 2nd Opti-Bond....Hard to beat.A little goes a LONG way...
Lol. Lemon Pledge. Same basic stuff as most other tire dressing. Meet using it for 15 years and have no reason to change.
Russ, that really brings back memories. I used pledge on my '69 Z-28 -- in 1969!!! That's one of the few things we had back in the day before tire products were available.
I too tried them all until I hit upon Stoner's More Shine Less Time.
Once around for matte finish and twice around for shiney finish. No sling and lasts several weeks. I prefer the shiney finish. Sold at O'Reilly stores or order directly from Stoner website.
Good luck.
I started using C Magic tire dressing about a year or so ago. I don't drive my car in the rain or wash it, so it holds up forever. I was at a car show this past weekend and lightly wiped down the sidewalls and treads with a slightly damp towel. Even though I haven't put any tire dressing on in several weeks, it looked like I had just put some on.

This:
Spray it on an applicator, apply to the tires, and you'll get a satin sheen that lasts longer than anything else I've ever used and I've tried just about all of them. Does not sling off at all.
