Good catch Bob.

I've merged the threads. No need to start 2 threads on the same topic, it just leads to confusion.

For BF Goodrich T/A Radials I prefer to use Tuf Shine Tire Coating.

In fact, in this last weekend's class we just machine cleaned some BF Goodrich Radial T/A's and coated them. They came out AWESOME.

Look like this only the Goodrich brand.


Here's the review I wrote, it's also a how-to


Review: TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat by Mike Phillips



Here's a before and after shot...






Here's a full-on beauty shot....






(I rubbed out the original paint too)



But here's the deal. MY RULE for applying a tire "coating" (not dressing), is the tire can NEVER had a tire "dressing" already applied. Too risky to chance remove it all for a proper bond of the coating.



So for you, get the Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner, it's the best, I just used it yesterday here,

Review: BLACKFIRE Car Dryer




And then maybe try BLACKFIRE Multi-Surface Dressing Concentrate and use it full strength. It's water based so it's easy to wash off with soap and water and this means it's EASY TO RE-APPLY. And that's what really works best for tires like yours, something that works great, is easy to apply, is easy to remove and thus you now have a "consistent" maintenance plan.

Or go with some gooey tire gel that's impossible to get off and suffer through yellow and browning white letters.


Here's my review for the BF multi-surface dressing concentrate. Just by coincidence, this old 2-door MOPAR has a set of really trashed BF Goodrich Radial T/As



















Try to find the above plethora of how-to info on a FB group with linear pictures.

From our experience testing tire cleaners and our tire clear coat, we have concluded that the anti-ozanants in the sidewall, which is an amber color, will bleed to the surface and make the letters turn brown looking. There isn't much you can do about it unfortunately. One thing we have tried is to use a white waterbased paint to coat the letters and then coat with our Tire clearcoat to protect the paint and seal it.
