Good stuff, Z16 is a great tire dressing. Glad to see you switched from a gel.

I put on Tuf Shine tire dressing and it is amazing, It looks realllllllyyyyy good and is dry to the touch, so weird. Its like touching paint. Hopefully it looks that way in a couple months. I let everyone know.

Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel is a good choice if you prefer a solvent free gel.

Ok well it has been 3 weeks with the Tuf shine and it looks ok. I mean the there is no sling, car is perfectly clean but the tires are not a shinny as i would like.

this should answer your own question...

IMO Armor All is TERRIBLE and if they sell it in a grocery store you should never ever buy it

Tire dressings are a personal preference. Some like the wet look while some like a matte or natural look. My favorite dressing is Poorboys Bold N Bright. Works great, doesn't sling, and lasts for quite awhile. Whatever you choose, just make sure it's water based.

Great recommendation, btw, thanks! I ended up buying the Poorboys Bold N Bright as well. Like you said, lasts a long time -- I think I got about 2 weeks' shine out of it.
