washed and then zaino my car today. tried out the Zaino's Z-16 Tire Gloss. I applied it using a sponge. my hands were left UNgreasy after application. that was pretty cool. The Z-16 is not as wet looking as others. it is more of a clean black look. the bottle does say for more glossy look, apply a second coat. i only applied one coat.

Darden - that's Niiice. I think I found my favorite! Looks like semi-gloss to me too; I think I'll go with 2 coats.
Thanks to EVERYONE for chiming in. This Armor-All is killing me!

yeah, the tires are slightly glossy but definitely not as much as on-the-shelf products. i especially dig the non-greasy hands after applying it. I think it is going to rain tomorrow so that will be a good test to see how well the Z-16 stays on after rain.

I also like the slightly to semi-glossy look on tires. darden, good choice on the Zaino tire gloss product. As soon as I finish up my bottle of Turtle Wax , I will have to move on to a better, more quality tire dressing.
