Default New Tire Dressing I Found . . .
This is the new tire dressing I use and I think it’s really good. It DOES NOT SLING OFF THE TIRE, and get all over the doors and fenders and quarter panels, like all the rest of the dressings I have used.

It goes on easy and kinda dries almost in a minute, so the attraction to dust is minimized. I have even just used a 2" disposable paint brush to clean the tires after a week, and did not have to reapply any dressing. I ordered a gallon and they did not charge me any shipping (I think that’s going to change tho) anyway you can see the demo here:

if you spray it on like cake frosting, it will anything will sling all over the side of the car. I use generic Advanced Auto rubber dressing and a sponge. tires are semi gloss for weeks

I love me some Meguiars NXT Gen tire dressing, sprays on nice and even and doesn't leave a greasy residue behind.

Default Miracle Glaze update
I have just reapplied the dressing this weekend, and it was still clean and looked a tad shiny still. It looked like brand new shoes..... I found that when driving on dusty roads and driveways, some of the dust was remaining on the tire sidewalls. Brushing lightly with a small whisk broom returned the "just cleaned" look, anyway detailed the car and reapplied the MG and still, no sling.

Heck, I'm getting so good at spreading cake dressing, I might go and buy some more of that SmartDressing I used before, and spread some on the next birthday cake when we have a party !
