Tyre shine

Any recommendations on something to apply to the tyres? I've noticed here in Texas that the tyres turn grey rather quickly.

Ideally I'm thinking a gel or similar that can be put on a cloth or soft pad and then spread on - they're 30 and 35 profile tyres, so a spray is more likely to get on the rims than anything else. Something that will spread on the tyres too, not just soak into the rag and be gone.

Recommendations?

i'm a huge fan of Adam's SuperVRT for tire shine.. works wonders for me
has a bit of waterproof factor, so it wont run if it gets a little wet and stays on longer than other tire shines i've used in the past

also, it works well for all other exterior plastics/rubbers

I use maguires tire shine gel, and one of these foam applicators.

I'm sure the stuff finaloption posted works great too. I think the key is that the ones in spray bottles definitely do no work as well or last as long. You want something thicker.

I think the Tuff Shine is the best option for you.

It is not so fast for applying, but this is the only semi-permanent tire coating in the world. It lasts for month!
