Hey I have been using the optibond tire gel and love it so a fellow geeker recommended I mix it 3:1 and use it as interior dressing and I like it thanks chad. Does anyone else use this?

I use this but I get streaks on my tires. For some reason it does not want to bond with the tire. I actually posted a thread about this. But I like how long it lasts on the trim! Great product tho :)

CG Silk Shine is what goes on my interior. Sometimes I'll uses Adam's SVRT just on the door panels because it is water resistant. That way I don't get streaks when I open the door in the rain.

I haven't used it on interior. I would imagine it would do a great job. I use Ultima for interior, lasts forever.

I do use Perl 3:1 to top my tires on the weekly washes I do. I have Ultima Tire and Trim on my tires and top it with PERL @ 3:1.

I do want to see how it looks on leather actually...

they should really change the name of this optibond tire gel cause it can be used a whole lot more than tires . the name just kinda well ya know tire gel - what would that imply . have to read product description and can be used for a whole lot . but I've never used in interior - tires and tonneau covers 1:1 , Wolfgang cockpit and cqf&l for me .

I LOOOOOVE the finish that it leaves on my tires! Its the perfects gloss. Not too shiny but a perfect matte look.

I don't like using gels on anything if its oil based since through time I have seen the color fade away.

I use the Otpi-Bond on tires, it's my all around favorite tire dressing. Meguiar's Silicone Free Dressing for a more matte look. I don't use it for interiors - I prefer the Meguiar's Quik Detailer for that.
