I haven't tried too many different products on my tires to keep them looking nice and black. I have used Meguiar's high gloss tire gel which worked well and also armor all. What are your favorites?
Vinylex; not too glossy, lasts a good while, and is good for the rubber...
I need to try that, I'm currently using Meguiars NXT Rubber and plastic cleaner/protector, but it doesn't last long. Btw, come join our MI owners group
I was at the GLPO meet saturday Adam (you know, that snazzy red 5g Prelude)
I also use Vinylex on the CV joint boots as cheap insurance against them cracking...I also wipe down all the weatherstripping 2x a year with it...( I know, I'm a detailing freak)

hehe man, I'm just playing with you, how can I forget, what kind of admin would I be?! We're hoping to get a bunch of Preludes together for Redline on the 10th, you down for sticking around after work? Maybe we can head out early and grab a bite or something.
Back OT, yeah, that Meguiars stuff got messy, my sponge started leaving goo all over my detail bag, plus I read a few remarks on here about that grape scent attracting dogs and cats ... the peeing kind.

Messy yes...but never had any problems with attracting animals? .
I use the Black Magic Tire foam. Works pretty well. Plus it smells like Icee's... yummm

I always found it funny that it had a grape smell since when it first came out there was a warning on the back of the package telling you to avoid inhaling the fumes.
