DP Gloss Tire Gel

Well my test period with this product is done......

its the best dressing I have ever used

I have been using it at our dealership for the past month and a half and I have now seen how long this holds up.


-Holds up for 3 weeks EASILY on a daily driver (tires will be black for 3-4 weeks)
-splatter is minimal
-Looks freshly applied for 2-3 weeks on cars that sit (it lasted for 3 weeks on my first test batch of 47 cars, they all were washed 4 times and it rained 5 days)
-water beads off and dirt comes with it
-cheaper then anything else by the time you compare its performance to money
-you can tell your customers you used a safe water based dressing, always a great thing to say
-once you get your applicator primed it goes on easy and clean (get some gloves)

dp is just one of those things I wish someone would have told me about before...

I do apply 2 coats and it looks nice. But then I'm using twice as much gel which makes it more expensive and more time consuming to use. That's why I say that I wish they just made a more shiny version so that I can maintain some of the other traits (reasonable price & quick application) I like about the product.

If you like them really shiny, try Armor All tire gel then...
