I used Opti Bond tire gel for the first time. I found it easy to use and used it non diluted.

Opti-Bond is a great product and i have used full and diluted and I prefer the diluted look ,a little more satin look! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics the tires look good!

I use Optimum car wash which is the same soap I use to wash the car. I use a 5 gallon bucket with 2oz of soap and about 2 to 3 gallons of water with a GG insert and use a Griots Garage lambskin four-finger wheel mitt. After a heavy rain or once a moth I use Optimum Power Clean at a ratio of 1:3.

A side note: This car is a garage queen and gets washed once a week if it doesn't rain.

I love Opti-bond ... I dont dilute it either, although many seem to with equally rewarding results.

Good review! I loveeees me some Opti-bond. Personally I prefer it diluted 50:50, I like the look more, and your product goes twice as far.

How does this compare to DP tire gel?

nice paint flakes on those alloys. do you wax them?

is there a benfit on not diluting opti bond? I've been using opti bond diluted 1:1 with water and it seems to be fine. Easy on, last 2-3 weeks and it looks great. I've been trying megs endurance gel and i'm not as happy, it all shinny then loses its shine after a few days and reverts to mantle black like opti bond
