"sprayable" tire shine/dressing
Well guys its time for me to get another gallon of tire shine. Wondering what you guys suggest for a "sprayable" tire shine.
Just so you know, i like to be able to spray it on as i have mud tires on my truck with deep grooves so its hard to apply a product like VRP (which i have)
I use a product from my local car detailer supply house. Its called blue velvet. Its labeled thru the company i buy it from but its probably a private labeled car brite products
Anyway, let me know what you guys suggest, on my tires i do prefer a medium to high shine/gloss. I like the "wet" look on tires. And as i mentioned above, i buy it in gallon size so whatever you suggest!
Please let me know what you have had good luck with!!

You spray it on with a spray bottle, and then do what? No wiping?

I like hyper dressing. Doesn't last long but it's quick and easy and looks good

Re: "sprayable" tire shine/dressing
I'll recommend Meguiars Hyper Dressing.
http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-hyper-dressing.html
It can be diluted up to 4:1. I use it 1:1.
It can be sprayed directly on the tires, however I like to apply by spraying onto a gray flagged tip brush and then brushing it into the tires in order to avoid overspray.
Here's some tires I applied it to this past weekend. [it's also great on wheel wells]
Before:

After:

On big tires such as these you either want to make sure you brush the dressing into the tire really good or hit them with some air to blow dry them afterwards [i.e. Master Blaster Sidekick] or you may end up with sling.. It's not so much an issue with normal tires, but big tires like that are prone to slinging. [as you probably already know]

Re: "sprayable" tire shine/dressing
The only spray tire shine that leaves a "wet look" that I've used is Meguiars Hot Shine. However, I've not had good luck with it. Durability is almost nil, and it turned my tires an ugly rust brown when it wore off...or got wet. I do use Duragloss #253 (Duragloss Tire & Rubber Mat Dressing (TMD) #253) but don't consider it a spray as I apply it via an applicator. It could come in a bottle with a spout and work just as well.
You might be better off getting a gallon size of a good tire product and then use one of the tire brushes sold here: Carrand Brush & Shine Tire Dressing Applicators, tire brush, tire shine applicator
The brushes would allow for fast, accurate application of large surface areas like your truck tires. I currently use a foam pad, but am really looking at those brushes for when the pads wear out. Using a pad or brush really lessens the potential for over-spray getting on your wheels and paint.

They're talking about the Carrand brush that was linked above.
I actually think I have one of those somewhere, I wonder where and if I'll ever use it...
