    It must be a younger thing. When you get to be a little older, you just quit caring about fleeting stuff like shiny tires.

    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    Had my 2016 Taco now for 5.5 years, bought used. Have not shined the tires even once.

    Does this count? Seems to stick pretty good.

    Honestly, I hate shiny tires on a truck. Never have had a problem with tire wear or cracking or such despite hundreds of off road trips, and a dry climate.

    I use water to clean mine…

    tire detail tip:
    next time you wipe some shine on the tires and before it dries, throw a handful of glitter at it.

    Brake fluid is corrosive and eats rubber over time. I had a leak proportioning valve on my 87 s-10 blazer back in the day and it leaked onto one of my upper control arm bushings and it disintegrated within a year. The bushings were shiny though, but not too shiny

    Third on this. It’s my goto for tires. Shiny for the wife’s car. Satin for the truck.

    I use this stuff. IIRC if you just wipe it on and spray it off it makes the tire look more like new and not super shiny...

    I haven't used any in a few years. Adam's Polishes tire and rubber cleaner to remove the tire blooming (brown tire) and then rinse off; that'll leave a clean matte finish.

    If you want a high end tire dressing that won't sling check out Obsessed Garage. They have some, but it's $50 for 32oz or $80 for gallon.

    If you want quality, but affordable try Adam's Polishes tire dressing or Jay Leno's those are under $20 for 16oz. Adam's Polishes foam blocks work really well for application.

    This is the best tire brush on the market right now...
