Please recommend a tire shine. Having done both hand application and the spray, this 61-year-old body prefers the spray method. There are probably other posts on this, but unfortunately I didn’t find them in my search. Thanks for any insight.

I like Chemical Guys Tire and Trim gel. It's a thick clear gel that I apply with a foam applicator. Even when I used sprays, I applied using an applicator to avoid the wheel.

After applying, I wipe again with a towel to avoid slinging the excess and to leave a good semi-gloss shine instead of ultra gloss that would sling off anyways once you drive.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant and a foam applicator. Spray the 303 onto the applicator, then wipe onto the tire. I like doing it this way because I can avoid getting overspray on the wheel or the car's fender arches. The 303 also dries fairly quickly so you don't have to worry about excess getting slung onto the car while driving. The only problem with 303 is that you have to apply a few coats to get it looking really shiny/glossy, and it also doesn't last as long as a good tire gel. I have also used Auto Glym Tire Dressing applied in the same manner to get a more glossy look that lasts a little longer.

I have been using their products for 20 years. You can get this at advance stores. Quick easy on, dries to the touch and last. I like a satin finish.

I use the megiuars endurance gel but personally I dont like its high shine. It does last a long time though if prepped properly and left to dry. I think the gels last a lot longer but I havent found a matte one yet.

With the Chemical Guys gel I mentioned, I apply with a foam applicator on all four tires then come back and wipe with a towel. That results in a fairly matte finish.

i always wondered what dealerships use. super high gloss but does sling.

i'm old school and still use the good ol armor all but application is pretty tedious vs newer products out there.
