Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel(quick review)

I've tried a ton of tire dressings and this is my favorite as far as looks and durabilty. It produces a deep matte black look with a subtle amount of sheen, not too much. The durability of this stuff is better than anything I've ever tried. I wash my wheels and tires every week. I use Meguiars APC+ diluted at 4:1. This is considered heavy strength, and it still does not remove the Opti-Bond completely from the tires(scrubbed with a tire brush). Here is a pic from my iPhone about an hour after I applied it. The rotors look rusted because I just finished washing the car. It was cloudy outside, so it really doesn't give a true look of the finish. However, it's better than nothing. I use Opti-Bond diluted at 1:1.

Re: Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel(quick review)

I love my DP and its going to take some time to get through it but when I do I am looking towards opti bond. Have wanted it for awhile, just have to finish that DP first. If it beats the DP I will be impressed. Thanks for the review

I use DP too since it takes literally a drip or two to do one whole tire
