    Black Fire Total Eclipse & Optimum Opti-Bond are my favorites... you can do multiple coats for maximum gloss.

    For best results, make sure you clean your tires very well! I recommend Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner and Tuf Shine Tire Brush... buy it in the gallon size, you'll use it all the time!

    I know you said no OTC, but Black Magic Titanium Tire Gel doesn't sling, is glossy, and will slowly fade over time like anything else, but I have found the tire will stay dark for at least 2 week. It's the only OTC I use because most of them are not good as you mentioned.

    Meg's Endurance Gel is also OTC and looks great. Many people complain about it slinging, but I have never had an issue. Just allow several hours for it to soak in after application before driving... simple as that. Lasts a long time too.

    I always use Megs Hot Shine or Endurance and never ever have a slinging problem. Durability is not an issue with any of those either. Might just be my imagination but I believe the directions on the Megs Hot Shine advise to let the product sit on the tire for minimum 30 minutes before moving?

    First Off:
    Hi and......to AGO!

    Secondly:
    I don't feel comfortable recommending a "glossy" tire dressing.
    So I won't.

    But, if you want the look of a clean black sheen tire go with Optimum Opti-Bond. Dries to the touch in less than 15 minutes and lasts a long time.

    Best glassy tire dressing is undoubtedly PERL undiluted. Best thing is it won't sling!
