Tire dressing - show us your tires!
I ordered some new tire dressing about 3 weeks ago - TACSystem Tire Dressing. The funny part was I thought I ordered the Tire Coat, based on Glen e's review but mistakenly ordered the dressing. The package as it arrived had a leak, probably from rough handling. I contacted David at TACSystem and he promptly sent out a replacement that arrived two days later. I tried this stuff and I am really impressed. It's a very low gloss, maybe even a matte finish. There is no sling with the Dressing. I applied it with a microfiber applicator, because that's what I had. I had what looked like some sort of dark stain on one tire that I couldn't get ride of. The Dressing took care of that. Here are a couple of photos - the front tire's dressing is about 3 weeks old with about 300 miles on it, and five passes at Summit Motorsports Park drag strip this past weekend. It still looks pretty good to me. The rear tire has a fresh coat. You can see the rubber sticking to the rear panel (I had a traction problem) since I haven't washed the car yet. What dressing do you use and how do you like it. Post some photos too.

It's kinda funny as this was what I intended to buy, but ordered the dressing, and now I really like the look. Plus it takes only a couple of minutes to apply.
Regards, Bill R.

I've been using Blackfire's Total Eclipse Tire Gel after a thorough clean/scrub with Tuf Shine tire cleaner (and a stiff bristled brush).
I use Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus on wheels / brakes. Sorry no current pics. Full detail scheduled for next weekend, though!

I use Chemical Guys silk shine dressing. Gives the tire a satin finish, not too shiny, but not the flat black "undressed" look either. I've tried many products over the years and really like the finish of this. Also very easy to apply, spray it on an applicator and rub it on.

Don't have any pics right now, but I'm a big fan of the super wet/glossy look. My top two picks for tire shine go to Meguiars Endurance tire shine (gel) and Dub tire shine (spray). I'll try to get pics up after my next wash.
