Preferred tire shine?

dumb question but whats everybody on here prefer? i have new tires and want to dress them up but i am not sure what i want to use yet. the black magic matte finish kind of left a residue on my old tires so i didnt want to use that. whats everybody else use? i was thinking of getting the megs hot tires spray, any good? only problem is alot of these tire shines attracts the dust to them

Others are much more experienced than I am, but I just use Hyperdressing diluted about 3:1.

You are going to hear a ton of "Hyper Dressing" answers, i'll tell you that up front.

I personally use Hyper Dressing cut 4:1 on my fender wells, and Meg's Hot Shine Gel on the tires. I have like 4 or 5 bottles of the Hot Shine Gel from the gift sets from last Christmas.

Hyper Dressing (HD) all the way!

I used the Hot Shine stuff and all the shelf brand dressings but once I tried the HD, I never looked back! Great stuff plus it has multiple uses for detailing your ride. Just try it once and see what ya' think. www.autodetailingsolutions.com

HD is pretty good. I just got a bottle of Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel and so far it seems great. I like Zaino Z-16 too. Depends on the look you are going for. I have a white truck so I use whatever that doesnt sling.

Hyper Dressing at 4:1. Nice flat/matte look. Want gloss? step up to 2:1 to 1:1. Either way, HD is a great investment, especially from ADS with the F150online sale of $10 off.

I like the black non shiney look. Can't stand the wet, glossy tires, so I use either Eagle One or Meguires tire spray and wipe it off pretty quickly after I spray it on.

Tastes good mixed with Vodka . I use it because it has great durability and it is a water based dressing as well as easy to use.

I like Meg's Hot Shine Foam. No real sling, and it lasts a bit, too.

Also like using HD 1:1 ration when I'm out of the foam stuff. And, when you re-hit it up with water, they're shiny again
