    el naturale tire dressing

    I want a tire dressing that's very flat with no sheen at all. Ideally I'd like it to leave the tire just looking like very fresh rubber. Problem is, everything the local car store carries gives a gloss.

    Is there a tire dressing that's specifically known to give the look I'm wanting? I'll stay away from any shipping charges so hopefully on Amazon.

    Thanks.

    If your using a water based dressing keep watering it down until you get the results that your looking for.
    (Autogeek offers free shipping pretty often)


    Meguiars D170 Hyper Dressing Bundle

    This product would fit your need and looks great. I understand the cost might scare you, but I'm certain you could get 10 gallons out of this one from what you describe that you're looking for. If your only doing your own cars this will last for many years. You can also safely apply this product to fenderwells, engine compartments, rubber trim, leather and/or vinyl.

    Universal Dispenser Pump, Gallon Pump Dispenser, half gallon bottle pump

    Use this pump and you won't waste product. I would start with 2 or 3 squirts in a quart bottle (supplied with product mentioned above)

    If you catch a sell you'll get free shipping and a % off the retail price

    Good luck

    Does Amazon have a forum dedicated to car detailing?

    I had a friend years ago that was going through a rough time. Thanksgiving rolled around my wife suggested we invite him for dinner. As soon as he got here the complaints started. It was too hot in the house. Sure was alot of pet hair. The green bean casserole wasn't like he would be done, etc... My wife and I both realized most of this criticism was due to him being bitter about what he was going through, but guess who didn't get invited back to thanksgiving dinner the next year?

    Call me old school, but I was raised not to sh!t where you eat.

    And whatever animosity you have towards the new owner remember there is someone packing boxes that probably needs this job.

    OOOH OOOH!! I know!!!!!! Was it the guy who was complaining at the dinner??


    The fact that AG doesn't offer free shipping any longer at certain times (like the Christmas season) has become a huge deterrent for many of us that have been loyal for years.

    It's like a kick in the balls IMO.

    And the AG picker will lose his job because of corporate greed, not a shunned customer.
