Hmmmm.....

I've heard of this stuff, and have seen some ads for a few things in their
line.

Can't get past the name.....keep things of a bunch of Cheech-n-Chong guys
hanging out and trying to put stuff into bottles!!!!

The best product that I've found (actually recommended by my neighbor with a
concours award winning Mustang and a frame off restored Cougar) is Stoner's
More Shine Less Time.  Is comes in an aerosol spray can with a very precise
nozzle.  It is an easy to apply product that won't drip on to the rims or
spray off and leave spots on the body.  It leaves a nice shine that doesn't
look like there is a gel or layer of product on the rubber, doesn't attract
dirt or dust and lasts through a wash.  Luckily I can get it locally but it
can also be ordered from their web site:  http://www.mslt4tires.com/

Ron,

I might sound like a broken record but Wurth makes a superb
tire product that is much easier than Meguiars Endurance (a
close but messy second) and goes on like No Touch, but it
doesn't foam as much, and doesn't sling all over the car
like most foam products.  It is called inventively enough:

Tire Foam

One can does 30-40 tires, a LOT more than No Touch.  I sell
a can for $14.50 plus shipping.  Turns out about the same
cost per tire as No-Touch, maybe a bit cheaper than
Endurance.  This stuff makes the tires look new, with a nice
sheen, not hyper shiny (some people like that look, but it
is not for me).  One thin coat, even on a somewhat dirty
tire is all you need. Two coats gives a bit more shine.

IT doesn't turn black/dirty as much on your hands if you
touch the tire later, and it lasts as long as Meguiar's.

Hate to sound like a commercial, but I do a lot of research
and only add a product if I really believe in it.
