I have to disagree with you. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but I used it three times, let it dry overnight each time and all three times I'd wind up with black sticky stuff all over my car. Switched back to the Armour All foam and very happy with it.

Actually the best thing I have found to work is Formula 2000 and pour about 3 ounces of meguiars tire gel in it and shake it up good before each application, use a cotton wax applicator to apply it to the tires, for some reason that cotton applicator makes it have a deaper shine and best of all eliminates it getting everywhere if you spray it on the tire directly, tip of advise, the more you rub it in the better the shine,

I have been using this and love it. It seems to hold up very well between washes, too. I see they also sell a spray, I'll have to give that a try as well. I've never seen it in the stores.

Awesome stuff! It doesn't turn tires brown, doesn't attract a bunch of dust and last a long time.

I always wipe the tire after I spray it on though because I like the deep satin look instead of super shinny look.

Can't believe how many of you guys use the ultra greasy, oil slick, dressings... I've just never been a fan of that look. Personal preference I guess, but I never like my tires to outshine my wheels LOL

+1 trillion.

This many posts and only one VRT recommendation? Step up to the big leagues guys. VRT makes tires look the way they should, deep and black.

Heck... I don't care if they necessarily use our stuff (I'd prefer they did, but lets be honest here)... I just really don't like the look of high gloss tire shines. There are a number of products on the market that produce a nice natural dark rubber look.

TIP: If you can see yourself in the reflection of your tires, they're too shiny. LOL

I know, I'm just saying I remember one of these threads a year ago and every single post was Adam's VRT. Heck, that's what started me on Adam's in the first place.

Make the VRT a daily deal, so we can see what a good tire should look like.
