I am looking for some advice regarding tire dressing and trim dressing. First, I am looking for a spray and walk away product for aggressive off road tires. I have tried a number of consumer off the shelf products, but they are all too slimy and tend to sling when you drive.
Second issue is a trim product that will work for factory jeep wrangler yj flares. They are not textured, and I can't find anything that doesn't leave them streaked. I used sonofagun on them for years, and it left them looking like a mirror, but can't find it anymore.
Any advice is appreciated. I am tired of wasting cash on products that aren't doing what I need them to.
Thanks!

Meguiars hyper dressing would be a good choice. Doesn't last long but it's reasonable. Doesn't sling. Spray and walk away. Takes about 15 minutes to set up with no streaking

Meguiars Trime and tire gel
Optimum Opti-bond
I like both of them and use them. I would suggest wiping down the tires and plastic with a towel if you have any excess product to reduce sling.

From Meguiar's car-care products:
•Use M39 to "prep" surfaces.
•Then use M40 to "dress" those prepped-surfaces.

you can use PERL undiluted on the trim and on tires 1:1 (you'll need to use a tire applicator to spread it around evenly to help avoid sling like you would with any other tire dressing) has worked well for me...
PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant, vinyl and rubber dressing, interior protectant (http://www.autogeek.net/perl-coat-protectant.html)

Perl is nice I have been applying it to tires using a HVLP gun. Opti-bond is another good one.

Yeah most missed the spray and walk away part of his request it seems.
I would say HyperDressing also.

Part of what the OP wants:

really doesn't exist yet, IMO.

Some very good suggestions. Perl is definitely going to be in my next order. But that will be for normal tires. The reason I need a spray and walk away, is the aggressive off road tires on my jeep, and a couple of other vehicles that I detail. They have a lot of deep lugs on the sidewalls that take forever to wipe down. The turtle wax foam does look promising.

You could also put your dressing of choice in a sprayer like a Prep sol sprayer from home depot. It uses a compressed air cartridge attached to a refillable bottle. I also use the OPT sprayer attached to my air compressor to get good coverage sometimes

I have used CarPro Perl mixed 1:1 and sprayed it with the AGO cheap spray bottles. Works just fine.
36 Ounce Detail Bottle (http://www.autogeek.net/36oudebo.html)
The results I saw from the Optimum Tire Shine (refillable spray) was nice also.
