    How can I get permanently dressed tires?

    Hi guys, I find about each week I wash my car I need to dress my tires again. It's a water based tire dressing as the other stuff is just too oily and annoying to work with. Is there any permanent solution to having my tires look deep black and brand new all the time?

    Tire coatings! I like Blackfires.

    Tire coating is your answer. Tuf shine or McKee's.

    I have Tuff Shine tire coat and Turtle Wax Tire coat TK12. Price wise I prefer TW. I use Totally Awesome APC to clean the tires first and for a final check up I use a cleaner which comes with a kit. Tuff Shine lasts and shines longer, may be, but on a daily driver there is a chance of curb rushes, the daily exposure to UV, rain and potholes. The maintenance touch up needed every month or 1.5 no matter which one is applied. Also, I noticed TS sometimes acts weird, after a heavy rain the appearance of white spots, never happened with TW.

    That's the joke. I have no idea what TK12 is.
