I am in the search of a good tire dressing . Would like to know what people are using and a good choose . Also needs to be something that give a good shine and applied with a sponge or applicator .Not trying to use spray on due to spray off and wasting chemical . Trying to be cost effective .
 
There are many good options. I would point you towards the BF tire Gel or Opti Bond.

Another good option that I am using is Tuff Shine. It is more of a tire "coating". It is more permenent that regular tire gel.
 
You might also give Meg's Hyper Dressing some consideration, I've tried most of the popular tire dressings out there and for some reason, I just like Hyper Dressing the most.

The OP was looking for a non-spray on tire dressing. But I do agree that Meg's Hyper Dressing is a very good option and versatile. It is cost effective and can be used at multiple dilution ratios as well as a wheel well dressing.

The ones I like using are Poorboys Bold N Bright and BlackfireTotal Eclipse Tire Dressing Gel. I know they have sprayers but I have remove them and just pour out a little on to my tire applicator when applying.
 
I like the Sonus Tire & Bumper Dressing Gel. I am currently applying it with Tire & Trim Dressing Applicator, but am thinking of trying out Carrand Brush & Shine Tire Dressing Applicators. (all from Autopia Car Care). I also use it on all of my black trim.
 
I've been using Poorboys Bold& Bright for years and really enjoy the shine and ease of application. Lasts a good long while, about two weeks and the plus is its also good on plastics and other areas of the car.

Stoners, More Shine as a OTC is a good one as well
 
Im trying to get something for volume . Im not a real big fan of the gloss black look use to be but i like more of i semi shiny look . hyper shine sound like it might work with a 1:4 dilution ratio . How much does it run a gallon

P&S Multi Dressing is what I use for volume cars. Not super shiny and it's solvent based so it last a lot longer than water based ones do. Huge bonus 5 gallons = $90 bucks and that usually last me about 6 months @ average of 8 cars a day. On Details or paint correction vehicles I use Smart Gel(20$ for 8 oz bottle)
 
my top 2 are PERL diluted 1:1 and opti-bond both are great you dont need to spray on perl can put it in a pour bottle but its very liquid so mines in a small spray bottle i spray applicator with. durability on perl is much longer then opti-bond, but optibond still has a sheen at 2 weeks and still a nice black still at around week 4 with no sheen(if vehicle is not driven through mud or something). with perl it can take multiple coats diluted to get a shine but one coat on my tires provide a nice sheen. undiluted dont need multiple coats to get a shine if that is what you are after but perl really makes water bead off and makes cleaning easy just a wipe with car wash soap and done.... imo most customers that i've asked prefer how i dress tires vs others as its not greasy looking ect. both are great products, can be expensive but imo worth it.
 
Between PERL diluted and opti-bond, which one is more cost effective?
