Hi guys, I currently use meguiars hot shine tire dressing and I love the results however it stains my driveway if I happen to get any overspray on it. Hot shine is not water soluble and lasts quite long, however I am looking for a more easier application like tire gel. Any recommendations that have the same results as hot shine?

Save your tires and driveway and switch to a WATER BASED dressing or gel. AUTO GEEK stocks many of them. For shine i would opt for...

DP Gloss Tire Gel penetrates deep below the surface to hydrate and refresh dull, dry rubber. (http://www.autogeek.net/dp330.html)

Other good choices...
Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel, Tire gel protectant, OPT Tire Dressing Gel, protect tires, optibond tire gel (http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-bond-tire-gel-32oz.html)
Chemical Guys Extreme VRP Dressing 16 oz (http://www.autogeek.net/chemical-guys-extreme-vrp-dressing.html)
Poorboy's World Bold 'N Bright Tire Dressing Gel, tire shine, tire protectant, Poorboys bold and bright tire gel (http://www.autogeek.net/poorboys-tire-dressing-gel.html)

I am finding that two coats of Meguair's supreme shine (interior dressing) gets the tires just how I like them.

An understated matte black. No sling. No sticky/greasy looking shine. Let's the eyes wander across the entire car seamlessly.

I personally think it's perfect.

I work it into all the little nooks with a shoe-shine brush and then wipe off the excess.

How many of these threads do we have now??

Lol, I'll throw in ...... VRP dressing from CG. Best I've ever used. No sling, silky to matte finish. Lasts up to two weeks with the original application. After that you can wipe it down to remove the road dust & the shine will still show. Great stuff.

Very true.

At the moment Blackfire tire gel is my favorite. I have also used some Pinnacle Black Onyx which is great and the other that I like is Meguiar's D163 Tire & Trim Gel.

Have you considered looking into a tire coating? Something like DP Tire Coating or Turtle Wax Endura Shine Tire Coating.
