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.Originally Posted by CCinPA

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
or
OBSSSSD Tire Dressing - Satin (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
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!
Well I like the name of the product...
I finally got around to trying CARPRO DarkSide Tire & Rubber Sealant
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!
