Tire dressing

What do you recommend for tire dressing. I'm looking for something that doesn't sling, if thats possible.

I use a gel that spreads on with a sponge. No slinging. It is easy to apply, too. I think most gels will work.

Black Magic with a sponge applicator. Never have a problem with slinging as long as you wipe off the excess.

I use Poorboys Bold N Bright tire dressing. Not a huge fan of the goop.

Stoner's More Shine Less Time. Spray on applicator and apply (can also be sprayed directly on tire). Does not "sling" off and lasts for weeks.

Consider our new Blackfire Tire Gel. The product dries quickly and does not spit. Its water based and safe on tires. One coat is matte and second coat is a bit glossy. Lasts for weeks.

Found this out by accident on my new van when I didn't have anything else available. Leaves tires clean and black (well, they were clean before I applied it), but, as stated , a nice matte finish.

Otherwise my favorite has been Stoners More Shine Less Time, sprayed directly on tires, quick and easy.

I've tried all kinds of different stuff over the years, and just back to plain regular Armor All now. Maybe doesn't last long as others, but quick and easy to apply. I just pick up the large jug, and refill small spray bottles.

OP..

They all sling. But you can reduce the slinging quite easily. If the tires are dirty use soap and water or even bleach white that will clean black tires also. Now before you wash the car apply the gel/dressing. You will notice the tires stay slick without all the mess on the side of the car once you drive it.
