    Whatever doesn't have silicone in it. Silicone will cause your tires to turn brown over time.

    I have some tire shine with Teflon in it. I think it's made by DuPont, but I couldn't tell you where to get it, as I got it as a birthday gift a few years ago (a little goes a long way, BTW).

    I also use the hot shine. I have the gel and a couple coats of that will last a while. I used to use the foam stuff but one drive on a gravel road and your tires look like crap.

    Yeah for me it last a decent amount of time. I used to wash my car at least once a week and usually twice and i would do it then but now that I am in school its harder to wash it that much.

    I would also say magic titainum because it does last a long time and the best part of it is that u dont get any sling which sucks when it comes to taking it off ur cars paint.

    False. Tires turning brown is called blooming, and is a natural process:
    Why are Tires Black?

    Conventional motor oil, applied in moderation, makes for a great tire shine. After a few applications for it to "soak in" it will leave a pretty surface for an extended period of time.
