I need a tire wet that actually stays on. I buy the value pack of black magic or whatever it's called from Costco and 1 rain and that stuff is gone.
Good luck. This is an area where 1) few products actually work the way people want them to, and 2) they aren't recommended by the OEM anyway. Water based dressings are preferred but don't really last -- their longevity is measured in hours. The petroleum based dressings, while lasting a bit longer, starts attracting dirt soon after its used and can gunk up. You often have a harder time getting the tire clean the next time without realizing it.
I don't recommend tire dressings. Just get your tire as clean as possible. Unlike the poster that recommended Dark Fury, I say stay away from degreasers on tires -- another thing most OEMs don't like. Now, I like Dark Fury and Superior Products in general, and there may be a use case every now and then for DF or other degreaser. But try to clean your tire as best you can with an alkaline detergent -- or a pH "balanced" one with a all-purpose cleaner added.
If you really want clean tires, get yourself a tornador cleaner that hooks up to an air compressor. Those things work very well on tires. Takes a little longer, but it gets into groves unlike virtually any other tool/product. The tornador is actually designed for interiors, so you have a multi-purpose tool.
Clean tires get dirty as soon as you pull out of your driveway. Spending a lot of time and money on them is, well, nonsensical.
