What is the longest lasting, 'natural looking' tire gel

The best thing about e Carrand Tire Brush is you can just drop it in a small cup of mineral spirits when you are done and it comes 100% clean. No nasty foam applicators with black streaks on them. I hate dirty applicators with old product in them.
 
What I've learned about tire dressings is that not all dressings react and look the same on different tires. It appears that rubber absorbs and react to tire dressings differently. What looks one way on one brand of tire looks and durability is different on another brand of tire. Even the same brand of tire often looks different with the same brand of tire dressing. Guess it has to do with the composition of the rubber.
 
For You guys that use the car and brush:
Do you use it with gels or sprays?
If with sprays/liquid -do you spar on tire and spread with brush?
Or dip the brush in the liquid (like painting)

Thanks
 
The key to tire dressing is the prep. Once the tire is clean the dressing will last a lot longer. I use the Optimum Tire Dressing and it seems to last quite well. What I really like is I can clean with soap and water and return to original state. When it doesn't re-clean and re-coat.
 
If you use a harsh APC or solvent based tire cleaner, nothing you put on it will matter much. It will brown out on you regardless of dressing or coating.
