Meguiar’s G13115 NXT Generation INSANE SHINE Tire Coating
As the name spells out, you get a deep dark look that is described as insane. Splatter is a bare minimum after it has dried out well. It is stated to be at work over a week of substantial daily driving. It is good for providing a long lasting tire shine. Tire shine with this coating can last for weeks – it can take around 10 car washes in order for the shine to go off. It is silicone based tire dressing. The problem with this dressing is that it is also flammable, so use it with caution!

Meguiar’s G13815 Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Coating
The company describes the product as giving a wet look with a dark shine. The best way to use the dressing is to use two coatings; second one should be applied 10 minutes after the first. Good thing about G13815 is that it is also very easy to apply on tires. Besides providing your tire with nice shine, it also prevents it from browning and aging. It has anti-ozonant technology and it is water-based tire dressing. That means it is made of materials that are friendly to the tire and environment. Because of that, it might not last very long though.

Meguiar’s G12024 Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray
It has adjustable nozzle that helps avoid overspray. Tire spray is cheap and provides you with a nice looking black and wet tire shine. This is a tire dressing, so it is only made for tires. That said, it is best not to use it on wheels, but only on rubber. That goes for most of other tire dressings as well. It is one of their most popular items. Tire shine lasts roughly few weeks of normal use. If the weather is bad (rainy) or you drive a lot, it might last less time. It is not the best for tire as it is silicone-based, but if you are just searching for moderately good tire dressing, it should be fine.
