I am a gearhead I suppose. In turn, my son is one as well. Between the 2 of us, we try out different kinds of car care products and over the years I have found some that I have been impressed by. Back last year, I bought a product called Dura-Dressing by Dura Coating Technologies and just never got around to applying it to my truck I had at the time. It is a little labor intensive. I guess it's a good thing because I no longer have that truck, lol. I replaced it with another and had new tires put on it yesterday so I figured I might as well put it to use.
Now I can't attest to the longevity of the coating just yet, as I installed it today but it looks to be legit! It is shiney but not overly so and it is NOT greasy at all, will not sling onto the paint as you drive. It just requires regular cleaning with mild soap as you wash your wheels and the shine stays on up to a year, maybe longer. It comes with enough to reapply if needed down the line.
I don't normally share such stuff but I am impressed and thought it might be a good fit for others that like the wet tire look without the mess of tire shine.

My camera work here was suspect but you can see that it is dry, adhered to the tire and doesn't smudge!
