But it does not take a lot to give a great shine and I've never had problems with it.
Agreed! I also use Meguiar's Hot Shine and have always been happy with its results. Easy to apply, doesn't take much to get the job done. The longer it sits after being applied, the better. I prefer spray applied tire shine, and Hot Shine is actually the one spray product I've used that has very, and I mean VERY minimal sling-off compared to others I've used in the past. Of course if it sits longer there can virtually be none at all. I approve

That stuff works great! It doesn't make your tires "shiny" but it gives it a nice clean black new tire look sheen.

Here's a good tip from someone who actually works at autozone.

We just got free samples of the new BLUE MAGIC tire shine aerosol. So far out of the many items I've tried I've noticed NO sling, and it stays glossy even after the first week. Another good product would be the Voodoo tire shine. Its not as heavy as the other trigger products.
