I just picked up a new Jeep Cherokee and teh tires are so shiny. I don't know what they use but I have tried numerous products and even by wiping them some give sling off. I tried DP Tire Gel and Optibond tire gel. I am liking the gels. What do others use as their go to tire dressing? Thanks
 
My go to tire dressing is Meguiar's Hyper Dressing.
If you want your tires super shiny just add a few coats.
You control the shine or lack of.

I bought a gallon months ago and still on the same 16oz bottle I filled up, the gallon is still close to full.
One gallon can make you five gallons, you just wouldn't get the high shine.
 
I love all of the duragloss tire dressings. #253 is my go to for looks and durability.
 
Budget with versatility...Stoner More Shine.if its to bright and glossy for you,run the rag over it and buff it down to a nice NEW matte finish.
 
I hope opti-bond hits this list because I just bought a gallon will be here Tuesday Im the MAN
 
Chemical Guys Silk Shine, but it usually won't last after a rain.
 
I've tried a LOT of conventional dressings. The 2 I like the best are Poor Boys Bold N Bright & Prima Infinity. Poor Boys Natural Look will give you dark non shiny tires.

I'm with him. I love Hyper Dressing for how you can control the amount of glossiness. I ddilute it pretty well at 3:1 because I just like a satin look.
 
If you like Opti-Bond then I think you'll love CarPro PERL. I now use it as my go-to tire dressing. You can control gloss by the amount of coats.

Many really are taking to the permanent tire coatings, such as Tuf Shine. I've never used it but it may be worth checking out if you are into that. For me, I like tire dressings so it's not something I'm going to get use of.

My favorite as well. The satin shine turns matte after a week but the tires still look clean and black, not wet. This stuff really excels in the engine bay IMO.

My next favorite is Griots vinyl and rubber dressing. Acts just like CG Silk.

No browning and no sling from them either. Can't stand the wet tire look. I try to make my tires look like the ones on the shelf at the tire store. Clean and black.
 
CarPro Perl has some great reviews as well. What lasts longer after a rain shower?
 
I bought some Meguiars ultimate protectant for my interior but it was way to shiny. I ran out of tire product recently and used it on my Wife's tires as it was just sitting there gathering dust. It had a nice amount of shine for tires, and is holding up really well. I used on my car last wash also. Its kinda pricey to use as tire shine though, but I like it the most of anything Ive used.

Its rained several times quite hard and UP is almost as if I just put it on. Just slightly reduced I would say.
 
Optimum Opti-Bond Gel for glossy, or Meguiar's D161 (Silicone Free Dressing) for a more matte look.

If you liked the way:
-The tire "dressing" that the get-ready guys put on your Jeep's tires did not sling; and:
-That this tire "dressing's" shine appeals to you.. Then:

Your best bet to have the same tire "dressing" would be to ask of the Service Manager:
-Would you be so kind to tell me the Brand/name/# of this product?;
-Is there a way to purchase this product directly from either the Dealership (there's probably a couple of 55 gallon barrels of it out back), or "factory direct"?

Note:
Over the last few 10 years or so...
Many, many Dealerships in the USA, where Jeeps are sold, have used tire dressings from places like ValuGard and Meguiar's, among others.

I just applied some Eagle One Tire Gel. Haven't been anywhere yet..... has anyone used it...... what were your results?

I'm not a huge fan of CG. They have some pretty decent products, but, any company that pumps out a product or two or three every week just kinda' makes me wonder......... a lot !!!!!!!!!
 
I've been using Mothers Reflections. I don't like the high gloss "plastic" look. Reflections is a lower gloss that looks more real to me.
