    Yeah, these coatings are watery and spread very well, a little does truly go a long way for sure! One thing you'll notice with these coatings is a blueish tint to the product, there's something different going on in there for sure.

    You should get a solid month out of it on a DD but doing an initial coat requires the tire to be cleaned of all old dressing and grime, ofcoarse. I would do a coat, wait 15 minutes, touch the tire to make sure its dry to the touch and then add 1-2 more coats, waiting the same interval inbetween those coats. I say this because you really need to lay down a good base coat and different tires have different levels of pores.

    Re: Looking to try something new for tires.

    I have found 303 Protectant to be a good dressing as it gives the look I like. I'm not a fan of glossy slick looking tires. Like many others that I have tried, I reapply ever week or two. After reading other comments here, it looks like I'll be giving McKee's a try...an application every three months sounds a lot better.

    Maybe I've been in a cave eating bear, but I never knew that 303 could be used as a tire dressing.

    •I also used 303 on tires, for many
    years, because of the "look".

    •Using 303 on tires has been
    discussed quite often on this
    forum. Here's one discussion
    from ~10 years ago: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...303-tires.html

    I also use 303 protectant for the following:
    Car and SUV - dash
    SUV - running boards, mud flaps, and black exterior trim
    Boat - Marine seats and cushions; fiberglass (as good as any marine sealant...and a lot easier to apply); and trim. Also spray directly on the trailer tires...great UV protection.

    Re: Looking to try something new for tires.

    I didn't mention TW tire coating because its been gone off of the shelves for so long and the only way to get it is Ebay or people here who have horded it during the sales a while ago. Its really too bad they pulled the plug on it when they did, its an awesome product that was so easy to buy and use. The only downside was because of the tint it had it would stain the sides of your wheels, so it had to be wiped off right away or polished out with some good polish. I have about 4 bottles of it, so I'm good to go.

    I see 303 was mentioned to use on tires, keep in mind that 303 is a rock solid brand that's always working to be one of the best

    No idea if this stuff is better or worst than other. I like that it's mostly matte finish and gives me that new tire looking without being overly shiny. You can gloss it up a little by buffing. No idea if that lasts or not.

    Going to try McKee's Tire Rejuvenator as well for comparison. DG is cheap and works - not too motivated to try too many others.
