Hi All, some quick pics/thoughts on the DP Tire Gloss Gel. Dirty Audi/Break dust wheels:

Wheels/Tires were cleaned first with a hose down, Mothers Tire Brush with Megs Gold Glass, then with Zep Citrus 1:10. After the initial cleaning got most of the surface dust/dirt off, they were cleaned with Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner. Finally topped off the DP Tire Gel:

Nice product, easy to apply, goes on smooth, wipes away clean. Nice deep/black look. No flinging on my morning drive today. Will see how long she holds up, but a great buy on BOGO :)

Ugh how is that brown tire clean......

its likely blooming where the black coating on the tire has been removed thru cleaners.

I like the new DP Tire Gel for its more lotion like consistency, but I swear the old gel version was wetter looking. Am I nutz ??

used mine for the first time this morning. applied with carrand applicator. i liked it. compared to wolfgang, just as good. i think it left a better looking finish than wolfgang.

Did you find it to be splotchy? No offense intended, but I found some of your after pictures to be darker in some areas than others. Could have been the camera? Not saying it was user error by any stretch, just wanting to get an idea if that is a problem that you ran into?
