I prefer more of a satin finish like with Griot's Weatherproof Tire Dressing or something similar. It doesn't give the tire

And yeah, I feel the same... your satin finish "is better than nothing at all". Now if we can tone mine down a little and
gloss yours up a bit, maybe we could come up with something we both like.

In all honesty, the flash picture above over emphasizes the high gloss wet look. You really have to see the tires in
person to judge whether you like it or not. Also, as with other tire dressings, it gives a different look, depending on
the tire brand and compound used in making the tire. I have a set of Yokohama’s on one of my other vehicles and
it is no where near as glossy as it is on the Michelins I have on my Crossfire.
