Default Best tire finish?

I am getting ready for a concourse and am looking for the best spray for my tires. I don't want anything that will make them look shinny.

Thanks

Soap and water. I do not know of any commercial sprays that will not make them appear shiny.

Have a look at forum Sponsor Pinnacle Wax tyre dressing:

Tires & Wheels Cleaner / Dressings

There's the original spray and a new gel formula.

They claim it creates a deep, black glow on your tires that looks like new rubber, not a shiny dressing. Photos they've posted in various threads back this up.

If it wasn't for the shipping costs from US to UK and customs charges at this end, I'd have been giving this product a try.

Just read their advertising blurb and have ordered a bottle. Hopefully, it won't sit on the shelf in the garage with 20 other bottles of different tyre dressing that only seem to last for a few days.

If it's no good, I'll be asking GGG for my money back!

If it doesn't work on your tyres, send it to me and I'll try it on mine.
