Tire DressingS... So many choices... Geez!

[CCinPA]

Wanted:
1) I don't like a spray - Prefer to wipe-on/off
2) Low to medium shine
3) Not a dust/dirt-collector
4) No spin-off

And I want a product that I can purchase off-the-shelf from my local auto store.

Simple... Yes? :)

You won't find carpro products locally which this forum focuses on.

Actually...it's not that simple.

Local Auto parts stores and big chains like Wally World...even their wipe-on/wipe off products, sling and look like glazed donuts!

If you want a quality product I suggest OBSSSSD Tire Dressing - Matte (https://www.carpro-us.com/wheels-trim/obssssd-tire-dressing-matte-16-oz/)
or
OBSSSSD Tire Dressing - Satin (https://www.carpro-us.com/wheels-trim/obssssd-tire-dressing-satin-16-oz/) (Satin if you want a little more shine).

IMHO you will NOT find anything in "retail" stores that will compare!

Carpro just released - CARPRO DarkSide Tire & Rubber Sealant (https://www.carpro-us.com/latest-arrivals/carpro-darkside-tire-rubber-sealant-500ml-17oz/)
I just ordered some but have not tried it yet. I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow.

My current favorite is OBSSSSD Tire Dressing - Matte. It is dark, rich and doesn't look like look like glazed donuts!

I finally got around to trying CARPRO DarkSide Tire & Rubber Sealant (https://www.carpro-us.com/latest-arrivals/carpro-darkside-tire-rubber-sealant-500ml-17oz/)
Here are my thoughts...

Probably the easiest tire sealant I have ever applied!

It filled all the little tire grooves with ease on the first wipe.
I used a CQUARTZ Microfiber Applicator and wiped around the tire.
I did each tire and then followed behind each tire with a microfiber towel.
This microfiber towel wipe reduced the excess and reduced the "shine".

Darkside is a sealant, not a dressing, so it is supposed to have much better longevity.
Did I mention "This is probably the easiest tire sealant I have ever applied!"
It has a bit of a satin finish rather than the matte finish of OBSSSSD Tire Dressing - Matte
I have heard that the little bit of "shine" goes away in about a week but the dark look lasts!

Here is a couple of Before/After pics.

The tire was cleaned and all prior "dressings" have been removed.

One swipe around the tire and a light wipe with a microfiber towel.

Darkside is quick, easy, looks good (satin finish), and darkens the tire.

This has become my new go-to tire sealant!
