Tire Dressings
What is your favorite brand/kind of tire dressing for those who like the glossy look?
I'm fairly happy with Endurance, although I do not like the fact that droplets of it spin off the tires and dirty up my white paint. Are there better choices out there?

I've found that endurance definitely lasts the longest, and if you wait for it to dry for 15-20 mins after application, or wipe off excess with a rag, you wont have it all over your paint. The shiny/glossiest dressing i've tried is called tire wet, but doesn't last as long. Good luck.

hehe, thanks adam! I was meaning to ask that. Anyway, I use Eagle one WET tire dressing, the spray NOT THE GEL. Make sure u clean your tires with eagle one tire cleaner and a brush, use simple green if EO tire cleaner isnt available in your area. I wash the tires with the cleaner then let dry. I spray about 2 squirts of the tire WET onto the Eagle one tire swipe applicator and buff it on to the tire. repeat for the other 3 and let dry for about 15 minutes. u are ready to drive off with no sling!

I've used the Eagle One spray for a while. Two warnings: a) it does have silicone and b) you must put it on thin. The thinner you put it on, the less chance there will be of tire sling. It can happen with this dressing, but if you spread it as much as possible, it will look great. The look is not overly glossy or even worse greasy. It has a nice satin shine when put on thin. No one likes a greasy tire as they are both unnatural and cheesy 
Sorry, this is the best pic I have of my tires:
