Tire dressing opinions

[frankprozzoly]

I'm gonna buy one of these. Turtle wax jet black spray... tuf shine or black pearl. . Or is there something better.

[lyodbraun]

Don't use the turtle wax spray can stuff, it's crap and takes hours to remove it... Use the turtle wax jet black dressing comes with tire cleaner and applicator works great...

[frankprozzoly]

I didn't realize there were 2 different kinds of the turtle wax

[SYMAWD]

Turtle wax with the applicator. Avoid the aerosol.

Frank...

Make sure that whatever tire dressing you choose doesn't sling and leave residues that will stain your Silver paint. Unless attended to immediately...those residue-stains will probably become a permanent eyesore.

For water-based, dilutable dressings, I like: Meguiar's Hyper Dressing, and Optimum Opti-Bond.

I'm a big fan of Eagle One Wet. It seems to last the longest from what I've tried, but honestly I haven't tried anything new lately. When you find something that works we tend to stick to it.

To avoid sling with this particular brand, I've found that the secret is to ensure that the tire is dry before applying it. I think that is the solution with any tire shine, actually. If it is wet then it will flip off the tires. I dress the tires and then QD the wheels. In process of doing the QD part I am able to dry off any hidden pools which may be left after washing. This is typically one of the last steps of my process, so the tires have been drying for a couple hours at this point anyway, but water drips from lug nuts and some wheels forever it seems... Anyway, dry tires are the key to avoiding sling with most tire shines.

No question about it for me, Turtle Wax Jet Black Endurance tire coating kit, the non-aerosol version, trust me/us :thumbup:

Saw this kit at Wal-Mart yesterday for $13.99, just can't be beaten, period!!

I have used quite a few. OPTI-BOND with the carrand tire brush applicator, for me. Nice even gloss and lasts thru a few rains/washes.

Gyeon Q2 Tire
Opti-bond
Optimum Tire Sheen (if you prefer it a little more shiny)

I use PERL 1:1 on tires and it works great for me, and if you want you can use PERL in other areas of the vehicle.

[VISITOR]

PERL, can be used straight or diluted. i currently use it at 3:1 for tires and wells which has worked just fine...

[Rick72]

PERL , Ammo Mud !
