Default tire shine

what does everyone use for tire shine? the stuff i use splatters all over the rims and body of the car. i use an old rag to apply it in very thin coats so its evenly spread around the tire. i let it dry as much as possible before driving the car but it still splatters everywhere. im looking for something that stays on the tire completely.

I use regular old Armor-All. I spray it on an applicator pad, rub it on the tire, then use a towel to wipe it off. This cleans the tires without leaving them shiny or leaving residue to fling. I don't like my tires shiny, just clean.

Black Magic Tire Wet. It has an adjustable nozzle for different profile tires, and stays on the tire once applied.

think all tire shine products suck. but i use armor all. i think armor all company sucks though, but the spray is the most decent thing out.
