I use Black Magic. I spary it on, let it sit for about ten mins, and then just clean the wheels. I do not whipe the stuff back off, and it stays more shiney, and lasts longer.

black magic came out with this stuff that i like a lot, tire shine or something... its like glitter, and it comes in colors. i just use the silver, and it seriously lasts for weeks, even when you wash the car.

A good tire wax is best. That tire shine spray stuff is very bad because the silicone gets on your brake rotors, which in turn gets on your brake pads. Silicone is very resistant to heat, and it will make your pads and rotors extremely hot, which will accelerate the wear on your pads and possibly cause premature warping of your rotors. Don't use spray stuff!!!

I used to use the tire spray stuff, but it dusts up very bad on the wheels. Tire manufacturer websites say no protectant is necessary for tires.

I like the look, but I hate the dust.

Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss.

I like it MUCH better than spray stuff (even though I only ever sprayed it on a sponge.) Seems to use a lot less than spray, too. It lasts a long time! It even lasts threw water - it doesn't really come off until I wash my tires.
