    I like satin.

    Spray & Wipe gives a great finish but doesn't last very long (1 week). Try it, you'll be shocked at how good it looks.

    Im only looking at wipe on gel. More control and less splatter!

    Comes down to personal taste, don't let us tell you what you should like.

    I also am a satin fan though. Use 303 or 1Z rubber stuff normally

    The autoglym tyre dressing product is simply awesome and can be used to get either gloss or natural finish - whatever you prefer

    For the the main thing is not to end up with a greasy residue on the tyre
