Personally, I've never been a fan of real "shiney" tyres/tires. I was glad when ArmorAll came out with the "low gloss", but it definately doesn't seem to last as long as the higher gloss product. I tried a product called Black Magic the other day. Comes in a neat little container that distributes individual wipes that you pull out of the top of the container. Worked great, easy to use, no mess from "overspray"........but it does leave a little "fuzz" (white naps from the wipes falling apart during use) that I had to wipe off after applying. The best stuff I've used is either Griot's Garage tire shine, or Meguiars Gold Class Vinyl / Rubber protectant. Both products clean / protect, and look great, without being too shiney.
I can tell you what NOT to use on cleaning your rims though!!!!! I bought some stuff called Orange BLAST from Greased Lightning. It left streaks / stains on my Trigo's that I'm still trying to get off 3 months later! (and no, I didn't let it dry). Lucky for me I only did 2 rims and noticed the problem. I'm still fighting with the company about what their product did to my rims. BEWARE.........this stuff will ruin your chrome, alum, or SS!!!!!!!!!!!!
