    Water based tire dressing

    Hi all

    I'm trying to get some water based tire dressing but I don't know how to identify them. Is there a list of some good water based dressings? Can I get some recommendations?

    I used Mother's but that one stained my white car, luckily I was able to get it out. After that I haven't used any dressing just to avoid staining the paint.

    So far I have found Poorboys Bold and Optimum Opti Bond, are they good?

    Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel, Tire gel protectant, OPT Tire Dressing Gel, protect tires, optibond tire gel

    Is one of the better WB tire dressings.

    What you are getting is SLING from the tire dressing. The only product I have found NEVER TO SLING is Gtechniq tire & trim. And it lasts thru several washes without reapplying.

    Gtechniq T1 Tire/Trim

    I have GYEON Tire waiting in the wings. I have also read great reviews for this product.

    NO SLING with this either. OR you could go with a long lasting tire COATING.

    I am very picky about tire dressings/coatings. Nothing worse than driving off with a freshly detailed vehicle, only to find out your dressing slinged all over your paint!

    Megs Hyper Dressing 3 to 1 for me. Easy on, and holds up pretty good. Spray and walk away

    This is Meguiars Hyper Dressing @1:1 applied 15min. ago. It's the bomb on tires & wheel wells.

    Agree with Meg's Hyperdressing. Use it all the time 2:1 or 3:1.
