That is what I use and have never had it coat the side of the car after application.

Any brand will not flik off provided you apply them properly. I use a tire applicator pad that applies it evenly without touching the rim. got mine at Autozone

Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel
http://www.autogeek.net/opti-bond-gel.html
Best tire gel ever. I mix it 10:1 in a spray bottle for larger tires and underhood.

Go to the Dollar Store and buy a can of cheap spray furniture polish. Works great, leaves a more "natural" finish to the tire instead of being overly "shiney". Spray it on. Leave it set a minute. Then wipe it off.

I use the same product for all vinyl, plastic and rubber -303 Aerospace Protectant. Wipe it on the tires, leaves a natural look and seems to last. I use it on interior vinyl, weatherstrip, and under hood.

Zaino Tire Shine is amazing as it "dries on" and does not fling off.
I recommend cleaning your tires well before putting this on. Get all the dirt off your tire, then put on the Zaino....
I put the Zaino on these type of sponges and wipe on my tires.

If I am in a hurry and will be driving soon, I use old-skool Armor All. Doesn't leave the sidewalls very glossy or last long, but blackens them up nicely and dries quickly.
If I am detailing the car for a show or cruise the next day, and there will be time to dry, I use Black Magic Tire Wet. Glossy and greasy, I let it cure overnight. I always use a clean cloth and give the sidewalls a final dry wipe before driving, too. Regardless of what product is used, I think that is the key to keeping stuff from flinging off the tires.
