I've used Opticote, Perl, OG Tire Dressing, plain 303. All work fine, but lately I've just focused on keeping the tires clean and uncoated. I've not found a spray yet that gives me a sufficiently matte finish.

I'm still using Meguiar's Endurance gel. Been using it since I think 2001. Love how you can apply and then wipe it down to a dark matte finish without gloss. Also lasts a long time and has a nice grape smell.

It’s the best matte non glossy look.

I use vinyl/rubber protectant (like meguairs or 303) and it leaves a matte, but dark and healthy or "new tire" look I would say. Any left over residue gets absorbed too unlike tire shine products I've tried in the pasT.
Meg's #57 is my preferred for tires. 303 for exterior trims/plastics, but works well on tires too.

I use a lot of Sonax products inside and out, and use their Tire Gloss Gel.
I like how I can dial-in the amount of gloss (with no sling), how long it lasts, and how it doesn’t ‘brown’ my tires. |

I used Perl for a long time. Switched to Adam's VRT after Scott HD's testing.

I encourage you to use a water based tire dressing so you don’t crack your sidewalls. Learned the hard way.
