If you're looking for a wet/glossy look, I'll suggest getting a (aerosol spray) can of Stoner "More Shine, Less Time" and trying that. You'll need two coats. It holds up pretty well thru the rain, minimal fling. I've got a dozen different tire dressings....not thrilled with any of them due to the residue they throw onto adjacent panels.

For those seeking a more natural, non-greasy look: Michelin's Tire Shine. Very nice appearance, leaves a new tire look.

Mother's makes a good simi-wet dressing, but I still prefer 303 by a long shot. And to avoid sling apply the dressing w/ a foam applicator and rub it in well. I never get sling regardless of the dressing I use w/ that method.

ia 303 made by turtle wax. I just used this new tire cleaner/shine that you spray on in foam and rub it in. works well ... no fling at all. I might go an additional step and apply some shinier applicant next time after using this product.

I use Black Magic Tire Wet Express. It lasts through at least 2 washes unless I scrub the tires.

Here is a link to check out the 303 products. I use the aerospace protectant for just about everything in my car and also use it to keep my chrome wheels more resistant to brake dust.

Check out the testimonials and other uses. It's a very cool product line.

I don't think 303 is related to Turtle Wax. But you can check it out here: 303 Products Inc.: 303 Aerospace Protectant Label Instructions
