i seriously dont believe you guys are saying that they dont sling off and get all over your car but i will take your words for it and try the products... which one leaves the most shine so its basically wet but doesnt attract dust like the wax products i currently use on my tires

I've used 303 for years and think everyone should run out and buy a bottle because it's the best.

Adams vrt does not sling a drop. It dries instantly . Love the stuff. It dark and not shinny. I hate the wet look .

I did exactly that... and after two days up on my roof top test panel, the 303 failed miserably. if it comes in contact with any rain, its gone. Like I reported , I bought it because everyone had good things to say about it. Its a great product for inside the car, but even outside when there is no rain, it last less than three days. Where as Zaino and endurance can handle multiple rain storms and still look good for weeks.

For my money, Zaino leather in a Bottle blows away 303 for the inside of the car. It looks as nice, but the + is the smell. nothing smell like a new car but Zaino's leather in a bottle is about as close as you can get.
If you could find it in your neighborhood Pep Boys, Auto Zone, or Advanced auto, Napa, it would put all the others out of business.

On a side note, for those who are skeptical about the validity of products that people claim do not sling. Slinging occurs when the tire has a wax like preexisting condition. If your tires have any release agent, anything you put on top of it will sling off. So before you " Test " any products for its ability to stay on, make sure you wash and dry your tires with soap and water. Once you find a product that works for you, you wont have to wash and dry the tires each time you apply that same product

Its impossible to prove it otherwise. I guess you are better off selecting a product based on your feelings about what certain people have to say, and their honesty, and then try them for yourself.

Typically, people try a product and run here claiming its the best thing since sliced bread. I've probably tried 30 to 40 different tire products over the last 50 years, even going to commercial detailing stores, that only sell to detailers. With the right story, you can open an account with them. Ill still stick by Zaino tire shine, Leather in a Bottle and Maguire's Endurance for a go to the local store product..

It was this exact issue that put me on a search for a product that would NOT sling off. My search ended once I tried Zaino Tire Shine.

If you try Zaino Tire Shine.... Make sure you FULLY clean the crap off your tires first. Start with a clean tire.

Neither do I. I have not washed my car since summer of 2004.
It has not seen water since then either.
