Thats a loaded question on tires. Not everyone is looking for the same amount of shine. Me myself, I dont want a shine to my rubber. I'm looking for a clean natural look. I never liked the shinny look. But thats me.

Turtle wax has this new black tire spray that ive been wanting to try. Nice wet looking shine (not too shiny) but dry to the touch. Its 12 bucks at most auto stores like autozone or oʻreileys so it might ne worth a try at least. I know Tuffshine makes great wheel & tire care products though

Absolutely the best out there. I apply in dabs with a sponge. Takes longer but gives the tires a new look without the wet shine look.

I started using the Black Magic Tire Wet Wax. Really thick stuff, and goes on with a sponge. I use it sparingly to avoid extra-shine, and it leaves them nice and dark. Seems to last...but I'm not driving it everyday either.
Takes some time to get it on evenly, but I think it's worth it.

I came of age with the montage "Armor All" = "Harm It All".
I don't touch the stuff.

If you're talking about this stuff...
I tried it for the first time this weekend.
Really easy application. It's a clear spray like a spray paint. Coat your tires until they are shiny, wipe off any overspray from your rims while it's still wet, and then just let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
REALLY even and shiny coating. Totally dry to the touch. It's smooth to the touch so you can tell there is some depth to the coating. You can't feel the tire rubber underneath. I let some dry on one rim just to see what it was and it peeled off into little rubber-like *****. Almost like a spray polyurethane coating.
I put it on Saturday afternoon and it still looks like it's freshly coated in oil. Really shiny glaze that looks so wet you're afraid to touch it. Every bit as shiny as the picture on the package.
I'm talking seriously shiny...

Super shiny tires aren't for me, and I can't say enough good things about 303. Just the right amount of 'new tire' look without the over slicked greasy appearance you get with these other products. After applying, it looks great for days and freshens up easily with a quick spray on the same cotton shop towel and one wipe around the wheel.
303 is also great to use when you clean your engine bay and you want to spruce up the COI and engine cover, etc. There's a lot of plastic on these cars, and I use 303 for most of them, but use Einszett on the weather strips.

I don't use anything on the interior except a damp cloth once in a while to remove dust.
I had my 01 Mustang for 9 years, most in Hawaii and the dash looked as good as the day I got it. I really don't think a dash needs protection but I could be wrong.

To me and just me....I believe tires are not suppose to be such a High Gloss Shine. It just is not the way a tire is suppose to look. Paint YES / Tires NO. I could just think of other ways to spend my time
than masking and index cards to shine my tires. I love clean cars but have to draw the line.
Again thats just me. Nice Ride.
