Tire Dressing Recommendations

[hernandez.art13]

Hello everyone, I am building my cart for my next AG order and I am stuck on which tire dressing to choose and was hoping for everyone's help.

My main concern is that it doesn't sling.
2nd would be durability.
3rd I do like the "shiny" look so that is also on my list.

I have these in mind

Optimum Opti Bond Tire Gel

Ultima Tire Trim Guard

Chemical Guys VRP Tire Dressing

I called AG customer service and they said between those 3 to go with Ultima. They also recommended

Pinnacle Black Onyx

Also I would like to buy a gallon but have been considering buying all 3 of the smaller sized to test them all out :D

Thanks everyone for reading and your help.

Vrp has the shiny look and is surprisingly very durable. It beads water and doesn't lose all it's shine after a wash. Can't speak for the other two but I think vrp wins for shine

When optimum opti bond is applied to a bone dry tire with a paint brush, it works out great, water based and can be used on trim too!

I have tried Opti-Bond and Pinnacle Black Onyx

I prefer Opti-Bond, but they are pretty close in all objective measures


I would suggest adding a free sample of the Pinnacle, Wolfgang & Blackfire to each of your next orders

On a Continental and Michelin tires, I have tried both Optibond,UTTG, and TufShine. Optibond - consistency is like a lotion/cream - does not sling if properly applied (anything dressing excessively over-applied will cause some sling imo). UTTG - consistency like an oil - the visual effect to me was barely noticable. Tufshine - consistency like skim milk - will beat them all in that it definitely doesn't sling, and in durability. The downside is Tufshine takes more prep time.

Tuf Shine tire coating. I have been using 1z Vinyl-Rubber, but not impressed with the durability.

Tuff shine, it's work in the beginning to get everything prepped and cleaned but worth it in the end.

Another vote for tuff shine

I actually considered Tuff Shine. So it's permanent but fades after sometime? I was considering Tuff Shine when I get new tires on my car. Which seems pretty soon actually. :)

Art think of it like clear coat or anything for that matter. The more time exposed to the sun the more it will fade over time.

I've had it on my car for 3 months now and it still cleans up like the day I applied it. Even when the car is filthy (by our standards) ppl comment on how the tires still look shiny.

I bought the black onyx after reading the reviews on it. To be honest i wasnt that impressed.

Thank You, I will go this route when I get my new tires probably next month. I am assuming that once Tuff Shine is applied I can always top them after they start fading? I might just get the small bottles to toy around with for now and go the Tuff Shine route to apply more of a permanent dressing on my new tires.

That's correct, just apply another coat. Also, the more coats you apply the shinier it gets. You can adjust the look to your preference.
