Gel, spray, or ceramic tire coating: which is best?

Reviewers across specialist subreddits generally describe gels as longer-lasting and glossier but messier to apply, water-based sprays as cleaner and lower-sling but shorter-lived, and ceramic tire coatings as the most durable but with a more matte, 'clean rubber' finish. The right pick depends on whether you want maximum gloss, minimum sling, or maximum durability between applications.
