Zaino Z16, so far so good, but I might look at Endurance since Z16 is running low and endurance can be bought locally....

I used to use Meguiars hot shine tire gel and still do on occasions(only because I got like half a bottle left), but I've been using Armorall extreme tire shine spray lately(mostly cause its less of a mess to apply) it looks good, however I've been looking into getting something that doesn't sling the shine all over the car. I've heard good stuff about Adams.

I searched for a while for a product that DOES NOT collect dirt, and DOES NOT fling crap down the side of my car.
I find that Zaino Z16 Tire Shine is amazing stuff.
It goes on as a liquid and dries on there.
Its not a high gloss look. Its more a semi gloss/matt look.
Gives the tire a VERY clean look to it.
Wipe it on with Eagle 1 pads.
I just CRINGE when i see people "spraying" crap on their tires...

Go to the Dollar Store and buy a can of dollar store spray furniture wax. Spray it on your tires, wipe it off. Leaves a more natural "matte" look to the rubber instead of that fake looking shine.

I know it has a bad impression on here, but I still use the original Armor All.
I wipe it on and once it dries it leaves a clean surface to the touch and does not sling anything. After it dries in an hour or so it is a low gloss finish that is more black than the gray tire color. It also seems to stay clean and a nice appearance for quite a while.
I don't know what brands were used, but the previous owner of my '99 used something that left the tire with a black gooey slime. A slight touch would leave pants, hands, car covers, etc a black gooey mess too. I hated it! Never had that problem with Armor All. I also had some body work done on my '94 and they put a similar tire dressing on when they finished before delivery to me. It looked black and wet, but it was a similar slime. On both of them I wound up having to clean them off with chemicals so I could start over.

I have used many products and thought Zaino was the best until I used Endurance. Both have about the same look but the Endurance lasts longer and has a perfect non shiny look. Like others have said you can get it at most Auto parts stores.
