    Black Magic Titanium Tire Wet Gel. Easily the deepest, longest-lasting tire shine I have ever seen. No sling, and can be layered for even more shine.

    I gotta warn you though, this tire shine may not be for you. I like the super shiny look, but it is too glossy for a lot of people.

    Optimum Tire Gel-The best I've found! Not too glossy and it lasts.

    I want to try Optimum's and also want to try Duragloss. they have a couple different ones but i think one is silicone based.

    Nowadays I am just using the Meg's grape smelling gel and I like it a lot. I apply it with a foam tire pad, then after it sits for 10-15 minutes, I buff it off with a clean MF for a nice new look.

    ^^ I never used the BM gel you are describing but it sure doesn't sound like a water based dressing like the OP is asking for....

    OP: I would HIGHLY recomend Surf City Tire Pro... It is my go to dressing and 99.99% of my customers love it.. The rest like the crisco look that a silicone based dressing provides...

    i really like the optinium gel with their air sprayer, but my favorite is the wolfgang tire gel it can be shiny or matte it looks great

    The three that I use are:
    DP Tire Gel=Gloss
    Optimum Tire Shine=Medium
    Surf City Tire Pro=Matte
    All water based. Even if some feel oily like DP most are H2O now.

    I can't speak for the other water based shines, but the Optimum isn't very durable in the rainy months. I loved it throughout the past summer.

    I've switched back to megs hot tire shine (not water based) for the winter.

    Poorboy's Bold N Bright would be my choice and it's not limited to tires only, many uses.
