I’ve tried many and really haven’t found anything I like. I think the latest product I have tried is Meguiars Hot Shine or something similar. I wasn’t impressed.

I’d like to find a product that has some shine to it but not overly glossy. And nothing greasy and something that doesn’t sling onto the paint when driving at dreeway speeds.

Any suggestions?

I've been using their tire coating and it's pretty good.

Since I bought a truck with Chrome (something I swore I would never do) I don't use the spray anymore. Nothing worse than polishing the chrome then getting overspray on it.

Used this with the applicator pad and looks really nice. We'll see how long it lasts, the bottle says 3 weeks but I'm not holding my breath.

I use Dualpolymer's Tire and Trim cleaner. You can get a high shine with it if you mist a light coat after cleaning the tire and rim initially with it, but I like the non-glossy finish by just using it to clean and protect the tire. Works great on plastic trim, running boards, etc.

I use Trim Shine. It's intended for trim and interior but I like the satin finish...really hate the Jerry Curl dripping wet look:facepalm::puke:

I totally agree - I've never liked the "wet" look. I've found this stuff to work well - it makes the tires black, but not shiny:

Edit: My only complaint with this product (and maybe all products like this) is that after using this, it tends to attract dust when I drive on gravel roads.

I actually like Meguir's tire shine. Easy application and actually dries to the touch. Just use anything but Turtle's products.

Trim Shine won't attract dust:like:

I recently used Stone Trim Shine when I ran out of the stuff I was using - think it was Meguire's and man was I impressed . Just the right amount of shine...not too glossy and easy to apply and wipe. It's my new tire product that I use on all my car's tires!! I have the product in a pump spray bottle.

I recently tried this...used it on all black interior and exterior plastic & tires (Mustang & Wrangler). The shine lasts and smell isn’t bad.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant on all rubber, vinyl, plastic including tires after washing. I don't like a glossy look either so this works for me.
