I was thinking of either:

1) Picking up Duragloss #281 Tire Shine Spray from Peter
2) Ordering Meguairs Gold Class Endurance Tire Gel online
3) Going to Canadian Tire and buying the Armor All Extreme Tire Shine.

I like the gels more than the spray though, so leaning towards Meguiars. Spray = get on rims.

What do you guys use?

There is nothing like Meguiars Tire Spray but is such a waste when one sprays carelessly or generously. Armor All Extreme does the job well provided you really wipe your tire spot dry after washing.

I never spray the tires with tire dressing...i spray it on a foam applicator then wipe my tires with it

+1. I use this stuff too and find it works better than the spray on stuff because you actually rub it into the tire.

For the Matte look: Optimum Opti-Bond
For Wet Look: Duragloss 291 - Wet Look Tire Shine or Optimum Tire Shine (Spray)
Versatility Matte or Wet Look: Stoner More Shine
I haven't tried the Poorboy's Bold N'Bright however I think its on the matte side of things.

I use the ArmorAll Gel too, although I squeeze it onto the applicator brush first, then rub it onto/into the tire that way.

Result:

(not the greatest shot since I was trying to get the car and not the tires... but it looks good in person)

Meguairs hot tire shine for extreme shine but if it's longevity I'm after I'd have to say meguairs endurance. That stuff really lasts and smells nice lol just not a super wet look

True enough, I got used to spraying when I had them radials. But now that the tires are low profile, the only recourse is to use an applicator.

Plain old armor-all... Till the bottle I have runs out anyway. Not extremely shiny, or long-lasting... But armor all is pretty much useless on my dash and so I'm using it up lol

:S Regular armor-all kills the rubber in your tires

I know. They're the OEM 16's all-seasons that came on my vehicle and they'll only be on the car for another month. Next winter I'll be mounting winters on the 16's and will be picking up new 18" summers in the next month or so.

But yes, you really shouldn't use armor-all :)
