What are people using on tyres at minute, that DOESNT flick up all over paintwork?

I’ve used many different ones over the years. One of the best I thought was the autoglym white spray on foam, but can’t seem to get hold of that these days.

Using meguirs gel at moment but flicks up even when used sparingly.
 
I've been using the white Autoglym as well. Spraying on leaving for a few minutes and then a quick wipe.
it is on Amazon still - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoglym-ITD500US-Instant-Dressing-500ml/dp/B001156BBA/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=autoglym+white+spray+on+foam&qid=1556532952&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr2

Snap.

Got it as part of the Autoglym pack when I had my TTS.
 
This is what I use. I could have also gone the Autoglym or Meguiar's but this foam is quick, easy and a fraction of the price. This 400ml can is around 2 pounds

I have used many tyre dressings over the years, I have found Gtechniq T1 to be the best currently on the market, zero sling and lasts for ages it’s not cheap however it’s worth every penny..

Been using meguiars tyre gel for a few years now, use sparingly and rub it into the tyre with a foam pad - never had any issues with it flicking up and seems to lay a full week until the next clean
 
I have slimmed down to just 5 different dressings now!!!
Considering new tyre look, and longevity of dressing and my opinions/experience after 20 years of detailing concours cars;

For concours shows Gtechniq T1 is the kiddie.

Followed closely by a home mix of Autoglym trim and rubber care 50:50 with purified water.

Meguiars Endurance tire gel is good for keeping rusty wood saws in good nick 😜, as is Zymol.

Water based silicon dressings are king, oily, clear gloopy dressings are shiny 'orrible things, reserved mainly for cars that are going to auction!
