Default Tire dressing

Looking for recommendations regarding a tire dressing to maximize the Black wall of my Cooper tires. Recently installed 30 year old American Racing mags on my 64 coupe. I would “NOT” prefer the current “shiney” look, but rather a deep, dark Black of a fresh new tire. Thank you, Jack J.

Surf City Garage's "Beyond Black" is what I've been using, for the last several years.....

Looks like it’s been discontinued. I haven’t been able to locate any source.

FWIW, the Surf City website says "out of stock", but not discontinued.

I have used Adam’s Polishes V.R.T. for years. Easy to apply, lasts a long time and does not result in that cheesy high gloss shine that just looks terrible.

Just what does “GLOSS” in the products name mean? Looking for a FLAT BLACK color finish.

I have Chemical Guys tire and trim gel. Its not shiny, and when used on plastic it gives them a great finish.

Not sure what it means. Doesn't look glossy when it dries. Has a deep rich color to it. This is the best picture I could find after application.
