Best thing you can do is to clean your tires first. Do not try to shine them when they are dirty. Meguiars Rim and Tire Cleaner works well and is available locally. Then you can apply shine. Most glossy shine products that you find at the auto store will be silicone based. They give you a great shine, but attract dust and are harder to remove. You can get some higher end tire products like Detailers Pride or Griots Garage High Gloss Shine. If you don't care about using a silicone based product, then Meguiars makes a lot of products available at the local auto store that provide a high shine - just clean the tires fist.

I’m lazy so I use this. Just spray it on and walk away. Even when the tires are stained from off-roaing this turns them back to black.

I'll offer my input here. A lot of the inexpensive wet tire shine products contain petroleum distillates. You need to stay away from those so you don't get premature tire rot. Meguiars has been a good product maker for me.

I recently found this company; https://washwax.com/ ... Aero Cosmetics, through amazon. Their Tire shine is not a super wet look but their products are really good. My biggest pet peeve is products that attract dust a lot of dust/dirt. I've ruined a few pairs of pants and shirts by accidentally brushing up against trim or tire.

Looks shiny. But looks best if you spray it on hot tires before you wash the Jeep. Then it has a nice deep black matte look. I really dislike shiny tires.

Hands down "coverall" is the best stuff I have ever used. I have tried a lot of different brands and they all suck in comparison.

It is an aerosol that lays down like glue and lasts for a long time. O'Reillys is the only place I know of that stocks it. You can get it on Amazon but its twice the price.

I have had really good luck using Meguiars "Hot Rims All Wheel and Tire Cleaner". When the tires get really dirty - I spray a little Simple Green on them too. Really leaves the tires looking black before I put anything on them. I tend to stay with a satin or matte looking product though.

It says : “Be 100% sure that you are working with factory OEM clear coated wheels before using.”

i am running AEV satin black borahs so I am concerned whether this will be safe...

The absolute best that I have used for non-factory wheels is Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner. It is a little more expensive, but works great. You have to order it from a third party site though. Just make sure that you have a hard bristle brush for your tires and a softer one for your wheels. I have three different one - one for the tires, one for the face of the wheels, and then one for the inside of the spokes. Be careful though, detailing is addictive - and with a Jeep that is a curse, because they were made to get dirty
