Best tire shine?

I normally use the foam spray can stuff and let it dry but I'm wondering if there'd some thing out there that doesn't sling and will hold up over time. I don't drive my car in the rain so that's not a real concern for me

Ultima tire and trim will be the most durable with no sling.

SCG pro like of tire shine won't sling but will probably be less durable.

Poorboys natural look is the cheapest and won't sling, but is the least durable.

This works good - http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-T-1.../dp/B006ZS28X8

Make sure you take care applying it or tape off rims and fender lips. Also make sure tires are clean - don't drive until completely dry. Feels like clear rubber when done.

Spam Nick@Adams inbox until he releases Black Out.

Until then, the best I've found is Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus

It depends on your definition of shine. CG VRP works very well to give your tires that dark clean look, but it's not shiny like some want. It holds up very well over time as well. I've noted my tires beading water a couple weeks after use. It works well on all vinyl, rubber, and plastic trims.

I'm a fan of Carpro PERL as well. Best look with no sling imo.

I use Meguiar's spray gel which gives a fantastic wet look to the tires,it just sucks that it slings off even after being left to dry overnight.I know it's off the counter stuff and shouldn't expect more of it,but damn after all that work it sucks because my truck is white.
