Whats the best tire dressing? As in most shine? I dont really care how long it last. I like to wash my car frequently. I have that Z-16 and I'm really not that impressed.
 
Hello!



You say shine, if you mean bling then you might be on the wrong forum! In general OEM, natural black but not shiney or glossy is what i would say a majority like.



Certantly Z16 is very popular as it looks good, but is expensive. You might prefer something like Meguiars Endurance High Gloss or the one that is the clear bottles.



Shine is often mostly found in the oil based wheel dressings (as opposed to the water based ones) and often the cheaper products give shiney look.

OTC products give a great bling, but sling pretty bad. I have not mud flaps, so that is a problem for me. If I had flaps, though, I would go with the Armor All Tire Foam, or maybe the Tire Gel. I haven't tried the Gel yet.
 
AA Extreme Tire Shine gel is easy to apply (comes with a grooved foam applicator), is really shiny, and has decent durability.
 
agreed ^ , i like to use both the AA tire foam and tire gel. it's easy to find, looks good and is inexpensive...

I highly approve of Zaino, but like steelwind said, it's not that super soaking wet look that you get with the Z16, more of a clean OEM look.
 
I have had a lot of good luck with MAG'S Hot Shine tire gel. What i like best is it will not sling off on the car.
 
I use EagleOne with the tire swipes they make and have served me well. The swipe minimizes or eliminates the "slinging" of the product. Even after a rain when it washes it off, the tire still looks good. As mentioned above, also easy to find and relatively cheap for the results
 
I recommend the Duragloss Wet Look tire dressing, although at $10 a bottle it's too expensive IMO. I love the product, but I most likely will not buy it again. I just don't want to spend that much for tire dressing and I'm sure there are alternatives that will work almost as well for half the cost. I'm not a high shine/bling tire person, but this dressing looks great and lasts awhile, once the initial shine goes away. Tire dressings vary from tire to tire so while it may look good on your tires, it might not be to your liking on another set of tires. I rate the DG Wet Look dressing higher in my book because in my experience it has worked more consistently across the board of different tire manufacturers.



AA Extreme Tire shine is on my list of items to eventually try out and it gets plenty of good recommendations on here. I'd try that first before buying a more expensive dressing.
 
I like the way 303 works on tires. I have had my problems with the AA gel, but I am going to put my bottle back into use and see how I like it this time.

after i apply and spread the tire dressing, i come back with the leaf blower and it not only dries it quicker, it helps rid of any dressing that may be in the left in the tread... :)
 
I like Meguiar's NXT Tech Insane Shine Tire Spray. Looks very wet & shiney. Lasts long, and does a decent job repelling dust. Very good at repelling water.



Meguiar's High Endurance, on the other hand, was like a dust magnet on my tires. It isn't shiney, either.
