Solvent based dressings tend to be the shiniest but...Do you really want to put solvents on rubber and assume they won't do any damage ? And...
Solvent-based dressings are usually extremely flammable . They are almost certainly worse for your health and the enviornment .
There is more to consider than just which product shines the most . But if you insist...
You could try Insane Shine by Meguiar's. If you don't like it, Meguiar's normally offers your money back .

Detailking's TNT is the shinnest dress I have foud to date!

Thanks for trying the TNT and recommending it!

Doug your right solvents are not the best thing to apply to rubber but you would have to dress the tires every day of the year for years for it actually to do any surface damage. Most tires last about 24K - 36K miles before needing replaced due to wear. If a car was washed weekly and tires dressed after each wash the amount of solvents used over the use of 24K miles should not damage the rubber. There are many water based dressings today that shine well and do not splatter and are environmentally safe to use. I agree that water based dressings are also better for the environment.

I use Pacific Blue Tire and Vinyl Dressing by P & S and love it. It brings a fantastic shine to even the oldest tires BUT has a very high silicone content making it a major magnet to dust and debris even without driving on a gravel road. I am very careful about which vehicles I use it on. I am yet to notice, however, any damage or extra sunwear on the sidewalls of vehicles of which I have used it multiple times including my own. So in brief summary High Shine (Good) Trusted name (Good) Does not damage tires (Good) SUPER High silicone content (Not so good) and major magnet to about anything on the road (Bad)

I doubt that silicone attracts or holds dirt. Adam's Polishes VRT contains silicone and the company claims it will not collect dust. Post if you have hard info on silicone collecting dust and dirt.

My guess is that some products set up a static electricity charge that acts as a dust magnet. I tried out a dressing from Kiwi that contained Endust but was not wowed overall...
