Which tire dressings do NOT leave a glossy finish? :confused: I'm looking for as close to "natural" as possible....so the tire looks clean, not silicone shiny. Thanks!!!!
 
303 protectant leaves a "matte" look kinda $$ as the price went up but you may be able to find it at pepboys.
 
Poorboys Bold and Bright with just one application very matte.
 
DP's Tire Gel can leave a matt finish if wiped off after application. A tire's compound plays a major role in the sheen or shine of a product.

I like this product due to it's price, need of little product, and longevity.

I find that 303 is a great natural looking look to a tire. It makes it look black like it is suppose to look like.
 
Natural -- Poorboys Natural Look
matte --- Optimum Wheel Protectant
matte/hint of gloss --- 303 Protectant
 
303 is they way too go...i always endorse this product for its many uses throughout the entire car...engine dressing...interior...convertible tops....trim...tires...leaves a matte gloss if you buff it off or a shiny bling if you put it on a little heavy...
 
Meguiars Hyper dressing diluted 2:1 or 4:1. Works out to be MUCH cheaper than 303. One gallon makes 4 gallons of dressing for under $40!

I like it ok too......Pinnacle Black Onyx is a little less "greasy" though. Love them both although I would have to give the nod to Black Onyx.

This is my favorite dressing right now!

Easy to use and really goes on nice. I buy 10 cans at a time. Perfect for bulk detailing. Killer on the wells too!

I don't just use DP products...........

Just MOSTLY!

Last time I used DP Gel I thought "This bottle (32 oz.) will still be around in a 100 years".

AGREE..... meguires gel is a long standing one also as is pinnacles
 
I like my PBs Bold and Bright.. I put on a couple coats to get a bit more shine, but I'm sure with one coat and a good rubbing it would be matte. The shine has dissipated a bit (a couple of days over 2 weeks later with lots of driving and a bit of rain), but the tires are still dark and very clean looking.
