Default Longer lasting tire dressing?

ive been using Pinnacle Black Onyx tire gel, which I like but it doesn’t last very long, one good drive and it’s gone from at least the front tires.

What does everybody use use that they find longevity if at least a couple days with? I like glossy tires.

Thanks!

Pinnacle black onyx usually last 2-3 weeks

My process usually goes:
1. scrub the tires clean with meguiars D-14301 non-acid wheel and tire cleaner
2. wipe down tires and blow all the water out of the crevices or let them dry in the sun
3. apply tire dressing and wipe off excess after about 15 minutes

Meguiars endurance gel. I love that stuff. Nice shine and you'll get a couple weeks out of it.

Tuf Shine is one of the longer lasting tire dressing though it is not permanent like it says. You also need to make sure you really clean the tires before applying.

Optimum Opti Bond is good for the price but does not last as long as Tuf Shine.

I love Opti Bond, but its water-based formula is what contributes to a short life on your tire. Better for your tires though vs non water-based formulas.

I'm a big fan of Optibond too. Can't beat the price to use ratio on it.
