I use Adam's VRT, no wet shine. It's easy to use, and makes the tires look like new!

I won't use anything but Mequiar's "Endurance tire gel." They advertise it as "high gloss" but if you wipe it on with a terry wash cloth and then wipe it down while it's still wet, it leaves a great, non-glossy finish The real benefit is that it *lasts forever* (well, forever in tire dressing time.) Weeks, not days.

We offer many dressings for many users. Some are gel in design, and others are liquid. I have personally found Optimums Optibond to be about the best. Its water based, lasts quite a while, and is a nice high matte look for new and bold tires without shine. Heres a couple of the best :
Matte --- 303 Protectant (great UV protection too), Optimum Tire Shine
High Matte --- Optimums Optibond
Gloss --- Poorboys Bright/Bold, Megs Hyper Dressing, Stoners More Shine Less Time
Gel ---- Pinnacle or Wolfgang or DP
Longest Lasting -- Ultima Tire/Trim Guard

I use 303 Protectorant. It looks realistic. I don't like the high shine look - it appears too fake. I have a bottle of tire shine I used once sitting in the garage - which reminds me I need to throuw it away.

Just a light application of Aerospace 303 with a rag. Don't want it shiny and don't want it slinging onto the side of the car.
