I get a lot of crap from a certain former owner who will remain nameless; about how black my friggin tires are.

Well I washed the car last night and I will say it looks better sauced ;but to me it's not critical everyday

I voted "yes"...!!! ......but I don't really use tire dressing, per say. I don't care for the "shine"...I use "303" on my tires. It makes them look new....not shiney....just my $.02.....

I like the look of a jet black tire, however I don't like that shit all over my car afterwards.

When I detail my car, I let the dressing sit on there for several hours before I move my car. Or I only apply it at a car show.

303 leaves the tire black and clean but not sauced. I hate that crap Ray puts all over his tires.

Haven't dressed mine up lately, but after a car wash, if I allow the tires to look dry then the car wash feels incomplete. I hook them up with this Orange bottle of tire shine that comes with a sponge for the applicator. I can't remember what brand it is...

I use this purple gel stuff from Meguire's - wipe it on , let it sit, wipe extra off, wait, wipe again. Leaves the tires black but not shiny. Wheels and paint are for shiny.
