Griots black satin tire shine. It sprays on, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes and drive. No sling. Easily wipes off of wheels (overspray)

Kerosene was an AIO. Earl sheib would paint your car orange primer for $10 IIRC. Then rub on some kerosene when you wanted some shine.Believe it or not, in the '60's, we used to use keosene, tar, and a brush?
The next commercial products that came out were nothing more than black shoe polish but they certainly worked better than tar. :-)
Yep. Enamel. And laid on thick. Since full paint job was only $29.99, had a friend who changed the color of his car about as often as I changed socks. Had to have eventually added hundreds of pounds to the car.Had quite a few Earl locations in Akron, Oh High Yo were I grew up, HD. Remember those paint jobs very well. Smart guy, too cuz most people didn't keep the car long enough for the mistakes to show. :-) AND, he did have some good painters AND, IIRC, it was enamel, too.
Hmm, interesting. I really like Cover All but may give this a try next time I buy, Cover All is $9.99 a bottle where I buy. Thanks.CG VRP for a rich natural finish available at Walmart along with CG Tirekicker which seems like VRP but thinner
For high gloss I have also used Cover All by Superior Products but recently changed to Cristal Untouchable tire shine which has been great for me. $4.99 at Advanced Auto
I no longer use Cover All...
