I use Meguiars hyper dressing and as long as it doesn’t rain it hangs on until it gets washed and re-dressed again.
where the heck do you put all your detailing supplies? seems like you'd need a whole separate garage for all that.

What you posted is not a tire cleaner, thats a tire dressing.

It's a tire cleaner, you spray it on, let it dry and wipe it off. The foam captures the dirt on the tire. It leaves the tire black, but not shiny. It also says it's a protectant

All personal taste, but for me overly shiny tires cheapen the overall look. I much prefer satin tire finishes, and like the Griot's Black Satin tire spray. It makes tires look new with a single coat and more satin with a little extra. It's also much less prone to residue, a lot of shiny tires shines throw residue all over the paintwork as you drive.

I also prefer tires not being overly shinny. I like a clean look, which is why I only use tire dressing sparingly to mainly 'protect' the tire

they can see how much you've been using it of course and think it's worth a shot to try and tease you into buying it.

I mostly use it on the freeway. Sometimes it will pop up asking me to enable it, it will put an animation on the screen reminding me where the FSD button is
