That is what I am using right now. It takes a while to apply, but it lasts. Stoners More Shine Less Time is very easy, but did not last for me. I have yet to try Mothers FX or Z16, but they are next on my list.

:2thumbs: my pick too !
I'am surprise alot of the hardcore detailers here still use Armour All, I find it yellows the rubber and you have to work in the product several times to get a decent shine, so is there a good hidden reason why you are using old skewl, cost, abundance of stock ?
I use Armour All or 2000 protectant for my wheel wells to get rid of my old stock ..LoL

Armor All EXtreme Shine Tire gel.
I got 50+ tires outta one bottle. Simply one of the best. Their tire foam is awesome for whell wells and larger tires.

I do the same thing but with a MF mitt. I wipe down the wheel wells too. 2.57 a can at Wal-Mart. I buy 10 a week.
Armor All Tire Foam on wheel wells and tires. Let sit for 10 mins and wipe down.

2nd that! 1st week tends to be a tad too glassy (maybe Im applying too thick?) but the matt look comes and stays on 2nd, 3rd and 4th week....

I just tried the No Touch Tire Foam and it's still going at 10 days. Not super-shiney, which is a good thing. It leaves the tires with a nice deep, satiny finish.
I also tried it on my Father-In-Law's tires and used a tire swipe to spread it since the tires are SUV sized and I didn't like the way they came out. I figured it was because I wiped off too much too soon instead of letting it penetrate for a while. I resprayed it and left it alone. Not sure how it turned out because I turned the truck back over to him right after.
Still for <$3 and available locally, I'm happy with it!

Another vote for Mothers F/X!! I've used the same bottle for over a year now and I still have a bunch of it left. I would say I've done close to 50 tires with it, and I've even used it some in my wheelwells! A little goes a long way with F/X, and it looks awesome.
Michelin Tire Shine is a close second. I did at least 50 tires out of one bottle. I've also used it on my exterior plastics and even in the interior. It too looks great IMO.
I got a can of Hot Shine in a detailing kit last Christmas. I hated it at first because I thought it was too shiny, but the look of it kinda grew on me. It seems to last pretty well also.

I'm puttin' the flame suit on because Teflon doesn't have a great rep around here for there car care products, but lately I'm really liking their Tire Shine product. Its not pretoleum based, but rather a water based product (I think). Spray on, wipe off any overspray, walk away. Available OTC in many stores, as well.
