Best tire shine?

Just got some Black Magic tire shine. Of course label said it was the best, but I am not really satisfied with the results. My tires just look clean and dark black, but they don't shine or look "wet" like I want. The last product I used was Armor All and I liked that better that this. What have you found is the best product out there?
 
Well I know Black Magic has different kinds of their "wet". They have a foam one that cleans/shines in one and that just cleans the wheels and doesn't really make them shine then they have one that's just a shine which really does shine.

Black Magic's tire wet foam is aerosol can is about the best tire shine I've used. I love the stuff.

Yeah perhaps I didn't look at the label close enough, I might have gotten just the tire cleaner because honestly my tires aren't shined really. I will have to see if I can find the foam then.
 
I use Meguiar's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Gel, I got it in a kit with an applicator for like 12 bucks at walmart. It does not run onto the paint even when you drive. If you want it to be really glossy then you can apply more then one coat, but I usually only apply one coat just to darken.
 
I'm gonna have to throw Zaino Bros into the mix here with their Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss. I've been using it for years on half-a-dozen different tire brands, and I wouldn't use anything else. It leaves the tire clean with the perfect amount of gloss, doesn't leave a sticky residue where things like grass and debris collect on it. Plus, it won't fling off onto your nicely washed car leaving streaks along the side..

FWIW, I apply the gloss with this snazzy little applicator which makes the job easier.
 
Tires should be flat black, not shiny.

Can't stand shiny tires, or the looks I get when I refuse to have mine sprayed with that crap.

"For the last time, No, I don't want any Armor All on my tires!"
