tire dressing

What is a good product to dress up tires. I like them to be black but not shiny. I don't like the shiny wet look.

Turtle Wax F21. It's cheap and not greasy or shiny, but has a nice clean, new tire look when it dries. I was actually impressed considering it is a lower-grade product.

New product..the company that makes Invisible Glass now offers a tire dressing.

Spray on one coat, the finish is satin, spray on a second coat, the finish becomes glossy.

Don't spray any tire dressing if there's a hint of wind...it'll go all over the paint and glass.

Careful spraying tire dressing when parked on concrete, it stains it and does NOT wash off.

Turtle Wax F21 is the best product that I've found for tires. It does leave a nice, clean look; not the slick wet look that most other products leave.

I will most likely get slammed but I like Amour all tire shine. They have a low gloss one that make the tires look like new not all gooped up.

I have used it for years with no adverse tire affects.

NoTouch Tire Dressing. I get it in Albertsons of all places. They have the lowest prices. Gives a good matte coating, no gloss, no spin off. If the tires are dirty it doesn't matter. I kid you not. It will make them black and when the dressing is dry the dirt will flip off and the matte finish will stay. It's foamy, so I guess it lifts the dirt off the tire and the dry dirt comes off as I drive. Aerosol can for $3.95.

I have been using the Turtle wax F21 Super protectant and have been very happy with it. seems to last well and very little sling. I use a foam applicator to apply it, has not hurt the applicator as some products do. See my gallery I have been using it on the 08 Superduty and the wifes new Mariner, also on the old 07 F150, plenty of pics to see how it looks.
