Best Tire Shine

Went out and picked up the new michelin 3 step wheel and tire care program, i plan on doing a good right up with pics later on in the year :xyxthumbs From the looks of things, it's looks to be a good system and got my money's worth
 
Mothers FX looks good and doesn't sling-lasts about a week $6/Tropicare Non Silicone Tire Dressing has a nice matte sheen and lasts about 4 weeks and costs $13-it doesn't wash off either
 
Z-16 is the only dressing my tires have ever had (my gallery has pictures of my Mazda Tribute.) Surely expensive at $12.95 for a bottle of 16 ounces, but tires are a lot more expensive.



I clean before hand with Eimann Fabrik Hi_intensity diluted 1:1 with water and a tire brush from TOL.
 
I used to always use either 303 or Autoglym Bumper Care, but recently I've been using Stoner's More Shine Less Time. So far, it's my favorite tire shine product. Extremely easy... just spray on. No wiping around, no messy overspray. I've had it on for over a week and it still looks like I just sprayed it on.

NXT Insane Shine and ToL's Grape tire shine are both very good. I'll have to pick up some of the Mother's and give that a try as well.

NXT insane tire shine is terrible. I purchased a can, sprayed it on the tires and WOW, This car now belongs in the circus. The shine is way to bright.

Hi-Temp's Grape Tire dressing fits all of your criteria. The only problem is that it is solvent based, and can only be shipped to certain states.
 
I'm using the Poorboys Bold N Bright right now. I'd like a little more shine, like NXT, but I like it. It applies well with an applicator pad and it stays on for a few days as long as it doesn't rain. I haven't put on multiple layers yet though. I'm guessing I could get it brighter.
 
Well, I might still one of the oldies in tire shine, but I prefer Armor All 10:1. And also, there's one that I used to get in Puerto Rico called "Kit" and it was around $3.00 per 16oz bottle
 
Another vote for Poorboys BnB. What I like about it is the versatility. It can give you different looks depending on how you apply it.



For a low shine matte look: two sprays per tire and wipe down with moderate pressure using MF.



For shinier look: 1) use tire swipe or 2) do above but after that, spray tire again and wipe with MF using very light pressure (takes a bit of practice)



For (IMO) horrible shiny jelly like look: spray and don't touch (just wipe drips on rim when they appear. *not* recommended. :p



BnB is great on all-season interior mats and mud-guards as well.

Turtle Wax Tire Wax is my favorite OTC, but I haven't seen it in a while. It was on their website last I checked, but can't find it in stores.

My local O'Reilly has it on the shelf right now. Is it worth trying?
