Tire Shines..Which do you prefer?

I know there have been threads on what kind most people like the best. But I am bored so i was wondering which type you all prefer most. The Gel whipe on kind, or the spray and walk away type

I've been using Eagle 1 Wet for a while. I've tried all kinds of gel ones and I find that one to last the longest. I use an applicator sponge though, overspray with that stuff is a pain in the *** to clean up, especially off of the driveway.

Not a big fan of Tire Shine anymore..... I bought this stuff called Wet and Black, which was just a spray that you sprayed on the tires. After driving with it on though it would spray the sides of my yellow car with the fugly black tire shine..... and also it would get all over the rims and make them dirty too...... so I haven't been using Tire Shine much now a days...

mitsu03- maybe you should try cleaning your tires before putting tire shine on them. even if you spray them down while youre doing the rest of your car it doesnt work. you gotta go over every tire with a towel. then, spray the tire shine.

I found that after spraying on tire wet you should rub it in. Not only does it stop it from flinging off, it kind of conditions the tires and stops it from dryrotting.

I've used only one type of gel, it was on the car I drive at work. Chrysler Tire Shine Gel, the price was right, free. It works good, stays longer than the spray foam I was using.
