    need to find a new tire dressing

    well i come to find out turtle wax discontinued one the best products i ever used on a car, Jet Black endura-shine tire coat kit. the stuff lasted forever and it dried to the touch while keeping the tires looking dark and wet.

    is there any other products out there that come close? dry to the touch?

    I've found Zaino Z-16 works nicely. It doesn't leave that "wet seal" look, but more of a satin finish. It does clean very well and makes the tire nice and black, like a brand new one.

    Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel is what I've used for over ten years. Last a few weeks too.

    I stocked up on the stuff when it first came out, have about 20 cans NIB.

    Turtle Wax repackaged it then stopped making it.
    Amazon still has it in stock. https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-T-...rtle+wax+black

    I had the stuff in the plastic bottle with the sponge, not the aerosol

    I just used something by Meguire's. Left a satin finish. Looks good but I think I'm going to look for a semi-gloss look. The gloss look makes the tires look to plasticy for my taste.

    I have used many and find I like Poor Boys bold and bright. Two coatings and tires look perfect without being too "plasticky" looking.

    Blech White. Always works to clean tires very well. After cleaning, a quick wipe with a damp rag and a tad of Zaino Bros.

    I've started using Jax wax tire dressing. Long lasting and doesn't fling off. Has a satin look.
