What tire dressing and metal polish are you using?
Anybody know of a tire dressing that doesn't sling on your paint? Right now I'm using Meguiar's endurance tire gel. I usually let it sit over night and then wipe the tires down with a paper towel the next day and it still slings all over my car. Also can you guys recommend a metal polish for my fast intentions tips?

Infomercial below:
I had been using Zaino's for a while, but application was a pain. it's pure liquid!
Since then, at the advice of BB and BJ, I've switched to Blackfire Gel.
It doesn't sling and goes on easy!
And it's safe for the tires. It's not silicone-based like those other tire gels /makes disgusted face/

I agree on the products listed above, but you want something you can find at your local autozone or walmart, try Meguiar's Hot Shine spray. It's a aerosol can that goes on very thin and light with a good amount of shine and doesn't sling one bit.

I'm having the exact same problem with the exact same product. I'm going with the recommendations made on here and am about to order the Blackfire gel since I like the more glossy look. I can always go to PBW Bold-n-Bright if I need. Thanks for the suggestions folks!!

I'm also going to be doing a review/DIY on that LANGKA "blob eliminator" for use with OEM touch-up paint (but I ordered my touch-up paint from www.automotivetouchup.com since they guarantee a color match) to repair paint chips which seem to plague all of us. I put a small chip in the paint on my driver's side rear running board with the nozzle on the water hose last weekend. I about screamed when I saw what I had done....sheer stupidity and soft-a$$ paint.

So today I received my order from Detailed Image and will be doing my comparison of Poorboys World Bold-n-Bright and Blackfire Long Lasting Tire Gel this weekend. Hopefully I'll finally find a product I like.

Just to update quickly. I got the blackfire tire gel and it is perfect. Not real glossy. Put it on last night. Drove about 40-50 miles today and at some high speeds. Get home no sling. It was very easy to apply. Next the PS21 metal polish worked great on my fast intentions tips. Took less then 5 minutes on both and they came out great. Just a couple shots from last night.
