Spray dressing? Hmmm.........Meguiars Hyper Dressing(uncut or slightly cut with just a tad of water perhaps). Not sure of any other "spray" dressings that aren't solvent based. Lots of gels are water based that provide a nice wet look and last longer(Pinnacle, Wolfgang, DP). Just an fyi....

oh, I almost forgot about Optimum. I haven't tried their dressing yet, but it's on my next order. If you use Poorboys B&B, for a glossy look just reapply after 1/2 hour and you'll have a higher gloss.

DP tire gloss gel. 32oz bottle, works very well, has very pleasant smell to it.

+1 for a gel if you want more gloss. The sprays never get to the same level of gloss for me. The closest is probably Surf City. It doesn't come in a spray bottle but it's thin enough to be transferred to one.

A spray dressing? Thats a toughy.
I would just get a bottle of PB's BnB. Goes on with ease and can produce an insane shine.

I definately like the DP tire gel... but i mix it with a solvent based spray dressing for better application

I have only tired one AG Tire product and it is Duragloss 265 Ultimate Conditioning Spray. I am very pleased with it! I am not sure how it compares to the others, but I think it has a nice shine and it lasts about two weeks.

DP gel is water based isn't it? I didn't think you could mix a water based product with a solvent based product. Hmmm......confused:confused: Not saying I don't believe you, but I just didn't think you could do that. I was thinking of doing the same thing.
