Tire shine that lasts?

I`m not huge on using tire shine. Usually I`ll clean them and throw some CG silk shine on them to give them the clean look but every once in a while I`ll use some gel to give it an actual tire shine. The stuff that I use is CG trim and tire gel but it doesn`t last long. What are yalls preferences on something that lasts and is easy to use and not insanely messy?

Evan, the product from OPT (Opti-bond?) certainly lasts a few washes. Meguiar`s "Endurance" also lasts for a couple wet/dry cycles.

This is a good tire product. Decent longevity and does last a little longer than a water based tire gel.

I would add McKee`s 37 Tire Coating to the mix. Lasts much longer than Gyeon tire coat or any other tire gel. Leaves a nice satin type finish.
 
I use Tuf Shine on mine.

Here is what they looked like right after coating just before I mounted them on wheels for the summer.

Here is a pic of them late July just cleaned.

Here is a shot of how they looked just before I took them off and put on some all-season tires for winter in mid-late Oct. In late Aug I rubbed a curb with the right front and at that time i added another coat to them which other than washing with soap and water is all I have done. My rims are also coated with WG Uber coating

I only put around 5K on them but they did hold up well.

A better test will be how my winter setup holds up. Here is what they looked like just before I mounted them.

another vote for tuf shine. Ive been using it for a while now, it will easily last 6+ months and make washing tires much easier

When I saw ancients tires in the summer I do have to say I was impressed

I also use the TUF SHINE tire coating kit. If you do not rub on curbs 6 months is easy. I can wash my rims(McKee`s 37 coating) and tires (Tuf Shine) with ONR even if they are really dirty and they will look new again. No hose needed! Coatings are are great for daily drivers.
 
I might have to get some gyeon tire for my reg. customers so it`s easy for me to wash their cars lol

Another vote for Wolfgang here. Used I for the first time this year and I`m surprised at how well it holds up. Looks great, not too shiny or too dull.

Are most Tire Coatings as shiny as the Tuf Shine appears?

The initial gloss you get with Tuf Shine dies back after 2-3 washes, and it`s much less glossier..
While I Hate anything water based these days, and converted to coating almost everything on the car.....just for ease of cleanliness, maintenance, etc, I still love/miss Z16
 
mobiledynamics- Heh heh...it`s like you read my mind! I`ve been wondering what I`ll replace my old Z16 with once I run out. But that`ll take a while as I have (literally) gallons of Griot`s and Pinnacle Tire Slime that I`m gradually using up (saving the Z16 for...oh, I dunno...I guess the S8). I used the Pinnacle (and it`s *OLD*, like..`90s-old) on the Tahoe`s Michelins the other day and was simply floored by how great it looked on them, the *exact* level of sheen I want.Gee, you and I are sure on the same wavelength regarding Detailing Products today! This makes, what?..three threads in a row where we`re discussing stuff that most people never think of.
