    I've used Poorboy's natural look on tires and on interior vinyl and plastics and have been very pleased with the results.
    I'm currently using Meg's Hyper dressing at 3:1 and its pretty stout and at that dilution it's not overly shiny at all.
    I've never used the products that you currently do, but these are some other options. The hyper dressing btw is almost the same price as optimum for the gallon size.

    The ones you are using are pretty good. DP tire gloss is another that I like.

    I like Autoglym Instant Tire Dressing for less sheen and Chemical Guys V.R.P for a glossier look.

    Opti-Bond, Car-Pro Perl, I like them both. But Perl has the edge in durability only slightly. But price is no competition.

    SCG Beyond Black Tire Pro is one of my favorite dressings. I've tried Opti-Bond, Meg's Hyper Dressing (as well as a bunch of others), and a bunch more. You can apply it heavy for a really light matte finish, or dark for a deep black that is bone dry to the touch and not greasy or glossy. It's a fantastic dressing. Looks like Pneu a bit from the application pics I've seen.

    Im pretty happy with Prima Nero, it can be runny, but its a great product. I also like CG VRP, and megs endurance for the lower end clients who just want some "armour all" LOL

    Haven't gotten to try the other popular choices as it takes forever to go through a bottle of tire dressing.

    I was using Ultima Tire and Trim and it was good but messy.

    Switched to PB Bold n Brite for all but the garage queen

    Now using Swissvax Pneu on the Garagew Queen.-Nice Matte FInish-Smells Great-Little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for!

    Opti-bond Tire Gel, 303 Aerospace Protectant, Mothers Reflections Tire Care, Megs Hyper Dressing 4:1 or 3:1 forgot which. I use all of them and like them all, I have zero sling with all and each give me a nice low gloss non greasy tire.

    It's not on sale for the general public yet, when it does come out along with Ken's new site. My credit card will literally shit itself, I'm holding back sooo much. Everything Autowerkz I order will be in gallons.

    Optibond is a good product and so it bold and bright as others have mentioned....bold and bright is more of a natural look, not really "wet" looking but has a decent shine
