http://http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/uploads/48669/Tire_dressing_Chart.pngI was doing my daily reading on here and came across the various charts that people have put together for the shampoos, rinseless, and waterless washes.First I want to say thank you and good job on the charts to their creators.I decided to try to help contribute by making a similar one for tire dressings.Hopefully this will help someone.Any brands I forgot feel free to let me know.The price per ounce is off by .01 usually on the high side.
Thanks for reading hope you enjoy

Nice chart. Thanks

Of all the factors you consider when selecting a tire dressing...where does price rank?


For me personally:

1. Appearance

2. Longevity

3. Sling

4. Ease of application

5. Cost per application

6. Available OTC

I'd like to add No silicone in between 2 and 3
Another plus if it's:
- Not attracting dust
- Touching Free
- Natural color or nice gloss black
- etc .... :)

According to the chart, which one do you like best? :)

I would think longevity and cost/application would be closer together since they seem related.

Not as concerned with what it costs as I am with how long it lasts. I don't want to have to dress the tires weekly. Will be trying Tuff Shine soon.

The ranking is just my opinion

How do you rank these qualities?

I see your point. Longevity more of a convenience thing.
Pretty much same as you but I think 1,2,3, might be a tie for first.

Great effort, robmick! Thanks for doing that. While there are a lot of other subjective things to evaluate, this spreadsheet will help me narrow down some candidates based on price.

And that helps. Any chance you can expand the A and B columns a little wider?

Tuff Shine seems like the most expensive, but after the initial application, it requires only a tiny amount of product to rejuvenate the finish. It does dull over time, but a 16 oz. bottle should last for years. Previously I was using Pinnacle dressing, and I went through a 16 oz. bottle in a couple of months.

I want to try Turtle Wax Endura-Shine to compare.
