    Looking for a tire shine, I don't like the super shiney oily look. Just want a new clean tire look

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    I use 303 interior/exterior protectant. Put it on and let set a few then lightly wipe off excess. After an hour or so the remaining soaks on leaving a matte finish. Just follow directions.

    I use Meguiars tire gel. It is shiny / oily for a few days ~ maybe less the more you drive but tires stay a flat black for thousands of miles after. Been using it for about 4ish years and always have the same result.

    thin layers though. First time I might have done too much and had some tire sling but only showed in the inner fender well which didn’t bother me. It was minimal also but larger tires, spacers - tire poke I could see it being more of an issue for some people

    STP foam tire shine in the spray can dries to sort of a satin finish, not super shiny.

    I've used 303 for years, love that stuff! Just used it on everything after cleaning out the engine bay, cane out great. I had never even thought of using it on the tires
