Best matte tire dressing available in US?

I used to love that wet tire shine look, but now I just want the rubber to look clean and matte black.

Any suggestions? I was thinking Adam's VRT.

I use one pass of Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Dressing.

Another that works well is Griots Rubber Dressing (water based).

I use Adams products (Car Shampoo, Quick Detailer), but haven't tried Adams VRT, but have heard good things; so you have a few good options here.

I use the opti bond too, its nice you can dilute the bottle and put it in a sprayer. put a couple sprays on the tire and on an applicator. spread it on, wait 10-15 minutes till it soaks in good, you can hit it again with the applicator if it is still wet or wipe the excess off. i have alpine white and barely do i get any sling and if i do it is very easy to wipe off that it is water based.

P21S Total Auto Wash, then after the tire is dry I clean it with a microfiber towel and Stoner's Tarminator.
