I dont like my tires dripping but i do like them a matte finish. I use Adams Super VRT. Beads up when water hits it, doesnt run or fling. Perfect.

I use the stuff I got from SmartWax... I think it works great. My tires get real dirty because of where I work, and because I like the really dark black look I usually have to do two coats, but I love the way it comes out

SMART WAX with a gel applicator works best.....

Not into any spray because after a hour hand wash the last thing I need is stupid tire shine on my paint/wheels and hope for no wind.....

I use Turtle Wax Ice (whatever it was called) because it was on clearance at Pep Boys, I like it because it makes the tires look brand new with a matte shine, not wet.

I want a matte shine, I'm looking for a tire shine that doesn't fly all over the car either. I'm liking the meguiars one and the super VRT but that ones expensive, I usually spend 1 dollar and get a dollar tree tire shine but I went through a bottle of that after 2 washes. I use a lot and it also flings off all over -__-, I think imma get the meguiars and tire sponges from harbor freight lol

I mix the Super VRT 50:50 with water for bigger tires, seems to last longer and holds just the same. But the gel on a tire sponge goes a long ways.

I use a matte shine product from turtle wax that is a gel and came with an applicator. On a 30 series tire using a spray would be almost impossible

Never had a problem, this isn't foam spray .. its just a spray that stay's on the tire

also i've tried all gels.. nothing works better then the sprays.. i guess the only positive with the gel's is they last longer after so many washes

I use OPTI-BOND tire gel. Its water base and it gives out a semi shine. Wont brown your tires and will keep your tires looking clean and new. Best part it wont splatter on your paint and wheels.

Does anyone know what the dealerships use? Those don't seem to sling off the tire either.
