Who makes the best tire foam/glaze

Right now I use Black Magic tire foam. Should I use a different brand or should I use a glaze for my tires?

I use Meguiar's Endurance tire gel. Some good stuff there. Lasts a long time and no mess since it's a gel.

I use plain old original Armor All. I've tried other stuff, but always come back to it. Lasts a good while and they just look nice and " satin black". I've been interested in a good shiny bling bling dressing but the ones I've tried I wasn't very impressed with. ideas?

With the Black Sapphire Super Tire Gel (http://www.properautocare.com/blacsaptirge.html) they suggest leaving on overnight and wiping the next day to prevent sling-off. The key I found is to use a little and work it in good, not put on thick and wet.

Amorall tire foam works as good as anything I have tried. Just before finishing with drying, I spray the foam on the tires and use a rag to wipe the excess off after a few minutes. The directions don't say to wipe it off because most of it actually runs off. Real easy to use and not expensive either. Do need to watch the run-off because it will stain the driveway unless you wash it off.

Also Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel user here. Before I used to use foam spray-ons, but found Gel type to last much longer... now my tires are always "Bling-ing"

I used to use Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel but for some reason all the car stores around here stopped carrying it a few months ago
I'm using the Black Magic foam now, but I'm not liking how long it lasts or the fact it stains the place where I'm parked when I apply it.
