Any recommendations for a good tire shine/gel that wont sling and leaves a nice wet shine?
All the stuff at the auto stores shine nice, but sling like crazy.

I get this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER I use it for everything. Interior, tires, motor. I guess it's not really that great when it rains (waterbased), but whatever. |

I think the water-based products will reduce the sling issue, and will be less likely to stain your garage floor, but the oils in the silicone-based products are what produce the wet shine you mention, so the water-based products may have more of a matte finish.
I like the water-based products, such as Zaino: http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...duct_Code=Z-16 and 1Z-Einszett: http://www.detailersdomain.com/1Z-ei...ant_p_211.html good luck  |

I've been using Poorboy's Bright 'n Bold Tire Gel for the past year and I will not switch to any other product after using this.
The shine is perfect with ZERO sling and the product smells like coconuts. |

I like Blackfire Total Eclipse Tire Gel. I tired Wolfgang Black Diamond and found it a lot harder to spread than the Blackfire. Meg's Endurance gel is good stuff also, but the downfall is the fact that it isn't water-based.

My current favorite is CarPro PERL. It will last a couple of months. 1 part distilled water to 1 part PERL solution for tires and 3 to 1 for just about everything else. VRP used to be my "Go to" but it got bumped once I tired PERL.

+1 for blackfire tire gel. Keep to the gels and they won't sling. Leaves a bold black satin smooth finish.

The only other product I also still use regularly which comes close to PERL is Optimum Opti-Gel. |
