Need a few options for tire dressing gels.

[DM616]

Since Autogeek has free shipping, I'm super tempted to buy some tire dressing! I already bought 128 oz of Black Hole Glaze :D!

I've done some research, but I don't know if it still stands true to this day.

From what I can find, Meguiar's Hyper Dressing is currently the best. But I'm still looking for anything that might be cheaper and works just as good. I don't really care if it's shiny or satin as long as it's a 'deep black' color and makes it look as if it's new again, and LASTS FOR A LONG TIME. I'm sick of the stuff that lasts no more than 2 days MAX.

So again, how long does Hyper Dressing actually last? Is there anything better/lasts longer? More importantly, what do you guys like to use?

Thank you!

I have heard great reviews about CarPro Perl. You can dilute it to fit the looks you want and also it lasts. It is on my to try list.

Megs hyper dressing is'ant the "BEST" but more so the "best bang for your buck". I just recently got some in and its dilution up to 4:1 makes it last very long and able to choose the shine you want with the same product. my 2c

If you want something that lasts then you will need to look at solvent based products vs water based. Duragloss Wet Look Tire Shine, CG Blue Guard II, and CG Liquid Extreme Shine come to mind. CG Silk Shine lasted about a week for me but is still nice.

I use carpro perl. It has been two (maybe three) weeks and it has been rained on frequently with no serious adverse effect. It is slightly less shiny, but still shiny enough to clearly see that there is tire dressing on it.

I agree that Meg's Hyper Dressing is not the best, but the best for the money. You can dilute it and make the finish as shiny as you want it to be. I last about as long as most tire dressings. I use it in my detail shop and buy it by the gallon. If you want something to last longer try Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner followed by Tuf SHine Tire Clearcoat or for a really longer lasting finish try Tuf Shine Black Restore. Tuf Shine products are some of the best that I've used.

I like PERL too. I have it diluted 1:1. I agree that it's less shiney compared to other products out there, but that's fine with me.

Dp gloss tire gel. On bogo right now, I love the satin sheen, last quite awhile as long as it doesn't rain, and sling is minimal to none as long as you don't cake it on.

I have found the key to getting any dressing to last is thoroughly cleaning the tire beforehand (which could be a problem if you are only getting 2 days out of your current dressings). Some people use Zep Citrus, some OPC, the Tuf Shine cleaner is supposed to be one of the best. Or you can use any old APC, or OTC products like Eagle One or Mother's. The key is to keep applying and scrubbing and rinsing until your suds are white. At that point you will have removed all the old dressings and oxidized rubber from the tire, and you will be amazed at how long your old dressings that you thought were terrible will last.

alright cool since it's bogo ill probably try out the dp gel.

should I get 2x gel or try the wheel cleaner? I have no idea if the cleaner is any good.

Personally I never use wheel cleaners, as my wheels never get dirty enough to need them. I just use my car wash soap. If I were you I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket...the dp tire gel is a 32oz size I believe, which will last you a long time. Not to mention you haven't tried It yet, you personally may not like it, ya never know. I'd get one dp tire gel and maybe give something else a try. I ordered 2 of the exterior cleanse all, love that stuff :)

I also use hyper dressing in my shop and on my personal vehicles and love it. My favorite dressing is 303, which is also a uv protectant, but not as cost effective. I offer it as an upgrade on interiors and exteriors.

HD looks good, cheap, but it's gone on the first rain.

Ah that's true. I don't know how I'll like it and it should last me until the next sale :P

I'll take a look and see what else is available, but any other suggestions for one of DP's products?

I'm digging the rinseless wash or the exterior cleanser...can't figure out which one is better or more useful for me :P
