Which brand? Is there a trick to avoid?

After putting Eagle One tire dressing on this afternoon and letting it dry for an hour I took a 15 minute
drive. After the drive I checked the fenders around the tires and found there was some residue from the
tire dressing slung onto my paint (front and rear fenders). I wiped the tire dressing residue off the
painted areas, but the question is would it have stained the paint if I missed it? The stuff looked like
chewing tobacco

First thing we need to understand is, tires continually omit UV protection from with in. So blocking this is destructive to the tire causing premature damage. There are basically two types of tire dressings, silicon base and water base. Silicon base dressings block this action, water base dressing don't. So water base dressings are what we are looking for. I use a product called "Optimum Tire Shine" it's water base and gives the tire a new tire look. Not dull but not real wet either. Doesn't sling off like silicon dressing either. This is not an over the counter product, so it has to be ordered. I order it from eshine.com here in Canada, in the states you can find it at autogeek.com. There are others as well, this is just the one that I like.
