I've got some! But I figured it was intended on interior use. So hey, I've got 4 to try on the tires! Why not each one on 1 tire to see how they fair.

Geez, here I go getting all OCD and wanting to test stuff....
 
Stoner's more shine less time is great-- no slinging off... use wesley's bleche-white on the whole tire when washing and that will remove the dirt and brownish residue.....then use the MSLT and you will like it.

After reading this thread, I went to NAPA and bought some Stoner More Shine... I had to wait a few hours for them to get it from the warehouse, but I can't wait to try it!
 
I did a full detail on my 1996 Geo Metro yesterday afternoon b/c I was bored. I used Stoner More Shine on the tires, and Auto Magic solvent based on the front half of the car, AM water based dressing on the back half.

I was quite impressed with all 3 products that I used. The Stoner More Shine puts QUITE and IMPRESSIVE shine on the tires without looking overglossy and the aerosol version is quite easy to apply.
Time will tell if the solvent based dressing will outlast the water based dressing.
Next time I'll post some before and after pics.
 
I have to agree with bretfraz, Zaino Z-16 is the best I have used. Leaves a nice clean, satin finish and dries completely (no more pant stains). I have used quite a few TDs and have ended up giving them all to my father-in-law except for the Z-16. I use an Eagle One foam tire swipe to apply. Zaino's motto of "less is more" works for this product too. About a quarter sized amount does perfect.

Key to any TD is surface prep. I use Eimann-Fabrik tire cleaner. Best one I have used as it doesn't strip the oils and waxes out of the tire like some more aggressive ones do. Cleans out the "dead" rubber and dirt, leaving a fresh surface for the TD.
 
Lemon-fresh Pledge furniture polish.
Super-cheap at Costco. Repels dirt/dust. But probably offers zero protection from the elements.

Works well to help keep your wheelwells clean as well.

I just brush my tires vigorously with soap and water,put 2 coats of wax on my aluminum wheels, and I'm good to go for 6 months.
 
Water based I like Poorboys world bold n bright. easy to apply and dries to the touch. So does Optimum's tire shine.

I wash the tires with Westleys Bleeche white and spray with eagle one tire shine tires always look geat. It lasts a while.. and its easy
 
Bleach White is all I ever use. I don't let it set long before it gets rinsed off. I put it on in the lot next to the car wash sothe OWLs are clean as a pin.
 
I can say that I am very pleased with the Stoner's More Shine for tires and the Trim Shine for interior and exterior trim. I spray it on a rag to avoid overspray.

I detailed my engine with the trim shine today and it did a very good job.
