Default Keeping Tires in Great Form

I am one of those who acknowledge that taking care of my car's tires should be a priority over its over-all appearance. After all, it's the tires that get to deal with mud, with rocky roads, with slippery highways, etc. It's the part that's most exposed to the elements.

I need recommendations for top-of-the-line tire care or tire shine products. Hopefully it's something you have tried and tested, and whose quality you can vouch for. I am so frustrated of how the brand I am using now doesn't give the results I expect.

I have tried a handful of tire care products, and car care products in general, that i was not satisfied with. I guess you just have to try them one by one and see for yourself which ones meet your needs and expectations.

Right now, I'm using Ultima, and I think I'm sticking with this brand. It's way better than those I have used before.

What "look" are you after? Do you want glossy, wet black, or do you want flat black, with no harmful, rubber killing silica?

Im partial to Adams Polishes VRT product. Produces a nice matte black finish but does not last too long. I also like Stoners Tire Shine when Im looking for a wet black shine.

I am using the Optima brand product. Nice, not too glossy and I don't think it has any silicone.

Gloss-It Signature Tire Gloss is my favorite. No silicone, matte finish - not too glossy or wet and a bottle lasts forever.

Check it out here. If you buy a bottle tell Rich I sent you!
