Although, I do like what I am using now, which is anything clear...Black Magic Tire Protectant, Eagle 1 Tire Shine Gel, or most store brand(AAP) clear stuff(clear baby oil looking products). These are the types of procuct that I like.
But, can you tell us a bit more about the Ultima?
Including quantity/size of bottle(s), cost, longevity, where to buy???

I have used Endurance many times. Looks good, you can easily dress it up or down depending on application style/amount used. Lasts a good time, but will look brown after the first rainstorm. Although my tires still bead water pretty intensely even after the shine wears off.
Never had any sling issues. I do wait a bit after applying before driving the car however.
(this is my experience with the 'gel' version, haven't used the aerosol)

That's the best stuff I've found...looks good, lasts quite a while, and doesn't seem to attract dust as bad as the others...

I'm going to keep saying it in every thread this comes up in: please do yourself a favor and try "Adam's Super VRT" (Vinyl, Rubber, Tires). I can attest to its durability in rain which is better than any other product I've used and it's great to work with because it's not greasy.

Adams Super VRT looks like something I will try.
I like water based protectants. While they do not last as long, I am convinced they are better for tires and any other parts they may get on. I use either regular Armor All or Meguiars Hyper Dressing. HD is nice because it can be diluted to the desired level of gloss.
I'm using this tire foam stuff. Spray it on and leave it. It leaves a shine that lasts for days even on the gravel roads I drive on
Meguire's Natural Shine is $4 at WalMart. Picked up a couple of bottles. Always figured this to be for interior detail but will give it a try.
Used Wolfgang's Rubber and Vinyl Protectant. Got it as free sample with an online order. Put on with a curved applicator and let it soak in an hour before driving.Produced a rich, deep dark and non greasy color with virtually no overly shine and no sling. I'm not sure of the durability but it looks great.
Looking on AutoGeek.Net and came across Tuf Shine Appearance Kit. Has anyone used these products. The semi permanent coating caught my eye.
Blackfire or Sonax tire gel. If you want to buy locally, walmart carries a mcquire tire gel that smells like grapes that does ok but only last a couple days. The Blackfire will last 2 weeks and even through rain.

The Wolfgang Rubber and Vinyl has lasted more than 2 weeks. It was a sample, but wanted something that lasted longer. If you get your tires clean, I use Black Magic's Bleche White, and it wipe on to a dry tire and allow it to sit until it dries,it has done well, but was curious about the Tuf Shine Kit.
