    No Sling Please

    What tire gel will not sling, can be applied in multiple coats to increase gloss, and has "decent" longevity? Something other than TUFF-SHINE.

    Thanks!

    Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. No sling, great natural look. Longevity is fair. I apply it once a week to keep things the tires looking great.

    It is a very different look from Tuff Shine. I feel that Tuff Shine sits on top of the rubber, while Optibond soaks into the tire. I much prefer the look of Opti-Bond.

    Mothers FX--has the look and shine of a piece of licorice and it's inexpensive.

    I've tried several. Most are quite similar. For what your looking for there is one standout product: Poor Boys Bold N Bright tire gel. OptiBond is also good, but is more matte and doesn't last as long.

    303 Aerospace, but is not real glossy. The first time you apply it it seems to take a lot of product. The second time it does not take as much. I've heard good things about the Optibond. I've never used a high gloss product that you could get to look even without it slinging off.

    Meg's Endurance Tire gel, let it sit overnight or for a couple hours.

    WG Black Diamond Tire Gel, let it sit for at least an hour.
