Trim and Tire dressing

[zacetzel]

I am looking for a trim and tire dressing that gives a medium shine but will actually soak in and after time restore, i have found this currently in meguiars vinyl and rubber cleaner/conditioner i use it on tires and trim and i love it i does everything perfect but it is pretty expensive, i am looking for something purchase by the gallon preferably dilluteable i am currently thinking about about meguiars hyper dressing, but wanted to get a second opinion. somethig less than 40 dollars because that is what the meguiars vinyl cleaner and hyper dressing cost is around but the hyper dressing is dilluteable so idk just getting opinins, so light it up detailersFeed back please

I am currently running a small test/experiment. Between Optimum Opti Bond Tire Gel. CarPro PERL, Chemical Guys VRP and Meguiar's Detailers Tire and Trim.

From what I saw. I'd pick Chemical Guys VRP and I believe it can be diluted. I'll add this it has a nice shine look to it and it does dry to the touch.

They all look nice, however my determining factor will be which one last longest.

I plan on making a video out of the pictures I have and will take. So more on that later :D

I still want to get and try the Ultima line though.

Also none of them sling-ed.

Wolfs' Black Out on bogo and the silk dressing too, both are great products and you get bogo!

Oh sorry I missed the trim part. I am not sure if the products I mentioned can be applied on trim.

You can use 303 for both. Hard to beat zainos tire protectant and optimum tire IMO fir tires

I love 303 and use it on interior and exterior. However, on the exterior it never seems to survive the first rain and only lasts a couple of weeks.

Based on reviews I've been reading, I think I'm going to give Duragloss 271 a try on my external trim and 253 on my tires this summer.

I personally like UTTG (Ultima Tire and Trim Guard) for temporary and CQuartz DLUX for more permanent.

Can't go wrong with either of those. 271 is one of my favorites for trim and 253 is my favorite for tires.

I can make a list of products that would fit the bill, but you added the word dilute. If that is a must then really only one product fits the category.

That is Carpro PERL. Its the only product that you can dilute down a lot that will hold up to exterior trim without either evaporating off or being washed off by rain and carwash's. It also looks really natural and you can keep adding and adding to the same trim without needing to strip it off everytime (waterbased).

#253 is a great product. I do agree !

I never tried #271 but i'm seeing its solvent based. Is it greasy/patchy or does it soak in easily and dry looking natural ?

My new go to trim product is Sonax trim restore. Very easy to use only need a little at a time and no greasy feeling.

It soaks in well and appears glossy at first but if you wipe away the excess with a microfiber it leaves a very nice finish.
