Placing order today and have read tons but I just can't make up my mind on a tire dressing. Narrowed to DP, WG, and Pinnacle. (And if you feel really strongly about it, tell me about another)

What would you choose?
 
DP Gloss Gel =more gloss
Optimum Tire Shine= slight sheen, more matte.
I'm still using Surf City Beyond Black but I think AG is discontinuing it.
All that you mentioned are excellent.
 
all the products you mentioned are great, and come in gel form. You will need to rebuff after 6-10 minutes to make sure of no spitting. Poorboys Bright and Bold is another nice looking offering and water based also.

For matte versus gloss, 303 protectant is the way to go.
 
I have used both WG and Pinnicale tire dressing and I prefer Pinnacle, it has a matte finish that I like. WG was semi-glossy....

They are? I need to stock up then! I love the stuff! If AG does stop selling it, anyone know where to pick it up online?
 
Pinnacle black onyx is awesome. DP is glossier, awesome too. PB bold n' bright and 303 would offer more of a matte look than glossy. All mentioned here are nice dressings.
 
Ended up ordering the Pinnacle. Couldn't find a bad word about it and I have had great luck so far with other Pinnacle products. I like clean/matte with maybe just a touch of gloss. I think I'll be happy. I sure hope so, I ordered 64 oz.

My tires are so low profile, I was not too worried about price cause it won't take much but the Pinnacle is pricey. Thank goodness for the 20% off.

Thanks all very much for feedback.

Whoops. Think that I mispoke re: SC. Looks like everything is still available at AG. Sorry all.

I also use PB bold and brite. It gives a real natural clean finish thats not greasy. Its a very versital product that you will find you are using for more than tires.

Yes I really am liking this more and more and it is used on all my details now. You have great versatility with it as well as you can dilute 1:1 for a slightly shinier than matte finish to 4:1 which is quite matte.
 
I like the SurfCity and PB Bold n' Bright.

I've used the DP & Wolfgang, and while both look good (Wolfgang looks better IMHO), both are greasy and made handling the tires during maintenance awkward and messy.

SurfCity looks great, but I haven't used it enough to know about its durability. I also had some trouble getting it to apply evenly via microfiber.

PB looks great and is easy to apply (spray, wipe), but so far I've had to reapply it every week.
 
I have to say that the DG Tire Gloss Spray is a nice offering as well. I just recently tried it as I am always looking for tire dressing. It has a nice matte finish and does NOT sling off. Seems to last about 3-4 weeks.
 
I've been using the Surf City stuff for a while. Depending on the weather I get about a week or 10 days out of it. I do drive alot on the highway, then back country roads to get to work when I don't tour.

I tried something today on my girls car just cause I didn't want to use my Surf City stuff. I used my old Mothers FX Tire Shine. That stuff sucks!!! I put it on, it last all of a 20 minute drive before it was completely off the tires (this was after letting it cure for 3 hours). I don't think it's even good enough to use on a beat up old farm truck LOL
