Post keeping tires looking good?

I've tried all those junky tire shine products at AutoZone to make my tires look good but need something better and less messy. What does everyone here use and does anyone know what concours participants use?

Has anyone tried mother's tire cleaner?

Thanks,
jon

I like Turtle wax Tire wax...

It lasts a while, which is the most important part to me.

I use the Eagle One brand with the applicator pads and it seems to do a nice job and lasts for a while.

Griots makes a nice tire shine. It's not greasy and thick like some of the others. Dosen't end up all over your car. need to make sure your tires are clean. Otherwise it doesn't adhear as well.

Try Stoner products on the web they make some of the finest aersols for the automobile that you can buy. They have a tire shine product i have used for ;years called More Shine Less Time. Will last a long time and they also make a bunch of other quality products. No i don't work for them just happy with thier products

I use 303 Protectant (I get it at <a href="http://www.performanceproducts.com)." target="_blank">www.performanceproducts.com).</a> Keeps rubber black, but not oily/shinny. Also lasts several washings.

Thanks guys,

However, I ended up choosing griot's because I was impatient and didn't get a chance to read the newer replies.
