Default Brand of tire shine?

I've always used Black Magic on my Jeep tires, but now that I've got a Z, I'm a little more picky. Is that foamy stuff good for the tires or will it harm them after lots of uses? What do you guys use?

I have always liked Meguiars Endurance.

Zaino Z-16 works well and does not make a mess.

I may pick up a bottle of that.....

I know the foam is supposed to be "no touch needed," but I always get the stuff flying off off my tires when I drive it and it ends up all over the wheel-wells and fenders. Anymore, I just spray it on then wipe it around the tires a few times which takes off the excess.

My Z never leaves the garage unless it is spotless and shining like a diamond. I don't have any kids, but I suuuure feel like a father.

Zaino Z16! While you are at it, if you have leather, get their cleaner and "Leather in a Bottle"!

Z-16 is the way to go. It's got a nice satin finish, and it doesn't turn all brown and ugly after a week like black magic.

I use the product from www.tropi-care.com It's a liquid that drys very fast, so it doesn't sling down the side of your car as soon as you drive it. It's a nice finish on it, kinda in between satin and glossy. I use their polish products as well with great results. It's very similar to zaino, but easier/quicker to apply and remove.
