I have refrained from using any of the new tire gels because I don't like a high gloss finish on my tires. I currently use a terri pad to apply Low Gloss Armor All, but it doesn't last very long, as you may guess.



What is a good satin finish, low gloss tire gel?
 
For satin look or the new tire look try 303, Zaino Tire dressing, Meguirs trim shine, Eagle one vinyl rubber protectant....



they are all pretty similar in that they are water based dressings.....



Remember apply a coat let it sit....optionally apply another for more shine ....then buff with clean towel to set resins and prevent drips and sling...

Have you considered cleaning your tires? Ever since I've had my Yokohamas, I cleaned them thoroughly during every car wash. They still have a nice, matte finish and it is free of the typical tire-gel grease. Try a product like Eagle One Tire Cleaner and scrub with a stiff brush...



I love how my hands stay clean even after rubbing on them... :p
 
I like the look of Vinylex. If you buff it off, the finish is pretty flat. If you leave it on, its fairly glossy. It also adds UV protection to decrease fading. My only complaint is that after one rain storm, its totally gone.
