Tire Dressing
Do you guys know what kind of tire dressing the dealers and expert detailers use? I've used all kinds of stuff from the auto shops like Kragen, they all suck. Most of it just makes the tire all gooey and attracts dirt/dust and splatters all over the car (even after getting a chance to dry). They usually come in a gel type of consistancy and you apply it with a cloth, sponge or the provided applicator.
However, the stuff I've seen the dealers/detailers use are liquid in consistency. They just squirt it onto a cloth and wipe it on. It makes the tire look shiny but not gooey and doesn't come out sticky.

I use "Black Magic" (its clear) from Autozone.. put it on..wipe it off...wait about 5 min.. wipe it off AGAIN... wait a bit more... and do a final wipe. This way I don't get much "sling" onto the sides of the body, and they tires are shinnnnny.
p.s. you should post this in "Wash and Wax"... people are really into this stuff there.

You can put on multiple layers of the Meguiars stuff to make the tires look more shiny.

Meguiars High Gloss Endurance ... Clear transparent grape smelling purple liquid. I'm another vote for it, 2 coats for me when I wash the car. It lasts for as long as 3 months for me.
