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

I love shiny things
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?
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
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!

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!
