Default What tire shine?

What tire shine do yall use? I have been using the Meguiars and love the wet look. Has anyone used the Turtle Wax Black Tire Coat? Thinking of trying that next.. I drive my work car during the week so my Dak sits in the barn and is my weekend warrior so its always spit shined (untill deer season ) so Im looking for opinions. Id really like something that repels dirt because I live in the country and im tired of going 2mph down dirt roads haha!

I used Black Magic gel..I also have the wax one which is a thicker version of the gel. My tires now blow so I don't really use it anymore haha but what I ended up doing is taking an empty tomato sauce jar and combining the gel with the spray kind..it makes a semi-thick mix that goes on well with a paint brush. You can then use that little sponge that comes with the gels to spread/straighten it out

Meguiars Hot Shine for the most part, have used Armor all in a pinch, gel seems to last a little longer...just hate it though when I get done washing my truck and start detailing it, forgetting to wipe dry the tires and spray em' cuz I get soo wrapped up in detailing under the hood and inside...so like an hour later I finish up, start putting things away, and then see the tire spray..."Oh great, now i can't go anywhere for like another hour, cuz you don't wanna just spray and go before it sets...and get the splatter all over your freshly waxed fenders.
