Your tire shine/gel/coating recommended product.

I have settled on Duragloss #253 also.

Perl is nice. It will last about as long as Optimum but to me Perl just looks better.

Will PERL survive getting wet? So far the Optimum hasn't for me. I've applied it to tires and the next morning following a good rain (without being driven), it's completely gone and I have to apply it all all over again. In dry conditions it's still a little short lived compared to the Duragloss.

It will survive. I use it at 1:1 and typically put two coats. I tend to top it every 2-3 washes as it’s easy enough. It just stays black even when it starts to fade.

We got rain here the other day and Perl survived on the tires even with the car driven.

And if you don’t like it you can always try it as an interior dressing at 1:5 which looks pretty good.

Optimum would brown for me from time to time. I never tried it at 1:1.

I've always been scared of trying that. Will it not be sticky or attract dust? On the tires it seems quite sticky (I use undiluted) and 1:5 just seems like it would still be too messy on dashboard and door panels.

Not at all. I haven’t noticed an increase in dust from it. It does leave a nice finish. Try it on a door panel and see if you like it.

I enjoy working with the Blackfire Multi-Surface Dressing Concentrate (Diluted 1:1) on tires.

I have used several of the tire dressings
that have already been mentioned; but,
when it boils down to what is my all-time
favorite “non-petroleum” tire dressing, it
is, unmistakably: Meguiars M40 Vinyl
& Rubber Cleaner.

I've been using McKee's Tire Coating along with McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator since 2016. I get about 3-4 months before needing to re-coat on 2 daily drivers.

Durability - 5
Shine - 3 (Based on 2 coats and tire type)

PERL 1:1 has been the best for me. I also really like CG Silk shine but Perl seems to last longer even if I only strive for the satin look.

[PaulMys]

I've used PERL, and liked it a lot.

Then I used DG 253. I won't go back.

Nice, deep black that lasts through at least a few rains.
