Tire Dressing

I have been using Zaino Z16 for several years and really like it. Is there any other brands that are similar. I like a glossy look rather than a matt finish.

the sonax tire gel will work well.

make sure you clean your tires well before any dressing goes on.

this will ensure the best application of any dressing.

Thanks for the replies. I have used the Meguiars but found it slings off. I'll try some of the other brands,

Ya, I've noticed that too.
Especially when I put too much.

I use Super Blue Tire Shine, applied by hand, I buy it from a local distributor. But I've seen it on many sites. Sometimes I use Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel, but the Super Blue is better.
I'm going to try the Optimum Gel you guys are using next though.
