No Sling Please

[TundraPower]

What tire gel will not sling, can be applied in multiple coats to increase gloss, and has "decent" longevity? Something other than TUFF-SHINE.

Thanks!

Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. No sling, great natural look. Longevity is fair. I apply it once a week to keep things the tires looking great.

It is a very different look from Tuff Shine. I feel that Tuff Shine sits on top of the rubber, while Optibond soaks into the tire. I much prefer the look of Opti-Bond.

Mothers FX--has the look and shine of a piece of licorice and it's inexpensive.

I've tried several. Most are quite similar. For what your looking for there is one standout product: Poor Boys Bold N Bright tire gel. OptiBond is also good, but is more matte and doesn't last as long.

303 Aerospace, but is not real glossy. The first time you apply it it seems to take a lot of product. The second time it does not take as much. I've heard good things about the Optibond. I've never used a high gloss product that you could get to look even without it slinging off.

I've never had issues with Megs endurance tire gel.....

Meg's Endurance Tire gel, let it sit overnight or for a couple hours.

WG Black Diamond Tire Gel, let it sit for at least an hour.

I enjoy Megs Endurance gel as well.

Opti-bond doesn't need any dwell time as long as there isn't excess product pooling around raised areas and/or impressions on the tire. And you can mix it 50/50 to be sprayed/misted onto the tire
It is very versatile too. Can be used in many of the ways that 303, and other vinyl/rubber protectants can be used, and more. It does actually bond to the surface it is applied to, and last for weeks before most people will notice a major change in appearance, and need to reapply it. I have mixed it with DP tire gel to get a wetter look that leaves a more significant coating on tires, and last for weeks with a glossy shine.
Haven't used any Meg's tire dressings, but the car wash down the road uses a Meg's product that they mixed 50/50 with water, and it slings horribly, leaving the tire greasy. I think the one guy I spoke with about it said it was Meg's hyper IIRC, probably a commercial version that comes highly concentrated.

303 AP/Lexol's VinylX were usually my go-to's...

I've never had an issue with Meg's Endurance Gel. It can be glossy or satin. I usually let it sit for several hours before driving. In my opinion Endurance looks best the second week, when it is not so shiny.

[dcjredline]

Another believer in the Endurance Tire Gel. I usually let it sit as long as possible but if you put it on light enough it wont sling.

What's wrong with Tuff-Shine?
