Is there a natural looking tire protectant?
 
Just curious what you guys use on your tires, & if there is something that looks smooth and satin-ish (no shine) looking rather than the semi gloss of traditional armor all? I installed a fresh set of Goodyears a couple weeks ago & feel the natural look is more fitting on the 60's cars with bias ply tires, however with just bare rubber its hard to make them look really clean.

Any thoughts? What do you use?

I use Meguiar's supreme shine protectant on my interior and tires on all my cars and motorcycle. I wipe it on and find it leaves a more satin finish that I really like.

Aerospace 303 Protectant. Gives a satin finish and UV protectant all in one!!

Love the Stoner More Shine. Just depends on how much you put on from satin to shiny.https://www.stonercarcare.com/produc..._/all-products

Vinylex or Aerospace 303.

MEGUIAR'S
 
Been using for years.

The Natural Shine is great for a nice clean none greasy look.

The #40 works great on all weatherstripping as well as the tires.

I use the Meguiers satin shine wipes followed by a quick wipe with a micro fiber towel. I don’t like the sprays because it’s messy, drips on to the wheels and white letters then when you try and wipe it off the wheels it makes the chrome hazy. The wipes are awesome!

I use Adam's VRT with a damp sponge. A little bit of a sheen, but not too much.

Wizard's. Good for tires, leather, vinyl and plastic.

Aerospace 303 is what I like to use.

OK, I'm CHEAP! I use the off brand of Lemon Pledge from the 99 Cent store. I honestly don't know if it protects your tires from UV rays etc but I do know if it's good enough to use on finished furniture it sure can't hurt. It leaves a satin finish and no oily type residue. I clean the tires first then spray on & wipe off. If you want more shine just keep applying and wiping off.

Never apply any of these directly onto the rubber/vinyl part in question!
Always spray onto/into a clean soft cotton cloth and rub on by hand!

Just started looking up information on some of the above listed products. 303 has a lot of stuff listed, are you using the tire balm?
Never saw a tire product that was thick like that before.

I use the spray in the above link. And its on sale right now. I started using this on the Toterhome Tires and Trim, as well as my Jeep hard and soft top. Now I use it on everything as it dries and leaves a satin finish and is not greasy.

I have been using Phase II for about 15 years. It has a satin/Matte finish. Multi-use. Great for tires, dash pads, door panels, vinyl seats, hoses, underhood stuff. Fairly inexpensive as well. http://www.valco-cp.com/Phase2.htm

I love to use Chemical Guys products. Plus you can buy them on Amazon as well. Or here www.autogeek.net

Another vote for Meguires # 40. I've been using it for 30 years and used to buy it by the gallon! I've got a bottle of the 303 stuff to try next.
