Please don't laugh at me.
Up until a few weeks ago I've been using Meguiar's Endurance gel for my tires. The bottle is at least 10 years old but the product within it is just fine. For fun, I purchased Hyper Dressing and have really been enjoying the ease of application over the gel. The shine is good, it gives the rubber an entirely different type of look which I have enjoyed. It looks more...I don't know...sophisticated.
So my neighbor shows up with his wheels dressed, and they had a nice shine (a shimmer, some might even call it), so of course I asked him what he used. And of course he had no idea, until a few days later he sends me a pic - it's NXT Insane Shine.
I actually liked the look of this product, but I couldn't tell by the picture if it was old and discontinued. My car is sparkling white with chrome wheels, and I feel like a glossier tire dressing works best. I came to the conclusion that I don't need my tires to look soaking wet.
Back in the day I used to use some spray-on foaming product that did the trick. I never cleaned the rubber, just sprayed that stuff on and let the foam drag all that brown grime away. And I remember also using Eagle One Tire Wet or something like that which came in a spray bottle, and it had an amazing cherry scent.
I stopped at a few chain stores to see what products they had. It's interesting to see what products each store typically carries, and apparently the selection varies greatly from store to store. I did find some aerosol tire sprays, but I wanted to get some opinions on what is good, or looks good, and what I should really stay away from. I wasn't smart enough back then to consider wiping off excess or knocking a dressing down with a towel, so slinging was never really an issue.
So the question is, are aerosol spray dressing still a thing? If so, do you like a particular brand? I happened to mention a bunch of Meguiar's products just now, but that's only because they seem to be most prevalent and accessible to me in a pinch.
