Tire dressing that is not 'shiney'

They stopped making my favorite tire spray (Harlys TireNew) and the reason I liked it was it simply enhanced the black & clean look.
Personally I do not care for shiney tires.
Anyone know an alternative for me?

TIA

I love the detailing dynamics concours tire treatment for the same reason it is not greasy and has a satin natural look

Gregg,

Try Surf City Garage's "Beyond Black Tire Pro". Exactly what your're looking for. You can get it directly from them or Autogeek.

You can give Zymol Tyre a try. It's an all-natural tire conditioner that penetrates the rubber and gives a satin sheen. Here are some photos:

Almost forgot...you can also use zymol tyre to condition exterior rubber, plastic, moldings, etc. Works very well.

You could also try Poorboy's Natural Look dressing, but I don't think it will last very long. It's more of an interior product.

Gloss-it will be releasing our new signature tire gloss that contains no silicone and is water based. This tire gloss is very durable and can with stand multiple wash's. Our goal was to develop a tire dressing that did not sling or disintegrate the rubber. We also offer the T.R.V which works great also just not as much gloss, but same durabilty. Gives a really clean look with the right amount of gloss. I know joshvette and smoke received a beta version. Maybe you guy's could chime in?

This tire gloss is 3 days old. Car is driven 50 miles a day. Not bad!

After being driven for 150 miles, how have you been able to keep the wheels break dust free? It doesn't look like there's any dust inside or outside the wheels. I'd be interested to know what product you used.

I like Vinylex. It is not shiny and provides good deep color.
