Contintental DWS tires and protectant issue....

[Klasse Act]

Has to be a quality control issue with the tires as we've had the original DWS as Well as the current DWS06 without any issues. I had the original DWS' on 2 Hondas in a row without an issue.

Agree about TW.

I've even using 303 Tire Balm and wiping weekly with Roger's ECH2O FrankenDetailer, and it's been about 4 weeks with still some satin appearance.

Frankly, I think tire coatings and dressings just don't work for more than a few weeks - especially on daily drivers.

It depends on the tires. I've had McKee's coating on my tires for about 4 months now. The biggest factors I have found are the rubber itself, who makes it etc. and how much sidewall it has and how much flex the sidewalk has. My Goidyear run flats have had the coating on for 4 months. Goodyear rubber compound and the side wall is short and next to zero flex. The Michelins on my wife's F-150 it will last about 4-6 weeks. Michelin rubber compound and tall sidewall with lots of flex.

I've noticed that with the Michelins as well. Just replaced my Goodyear tires with Primacys, so we'll see come spring.

Could someone post the product code or UPC for the TW.

Since it is not sold here at AG, that would be a violation of the TOU for the forums.

Ahh, ok, got it.

Well, the last time I washed my wife's car was the 27th of last month. I put on a couple of coats of the McKee's Gloss then,and the tires still have a little bit of shine to them. I guess that's not too bad is it? I wiped the tires off with a damp microfiber,and it made the tires a little bit better. I would say nearly a month on DWS tires is not terrible durability. The look is definitely settled down to a more satin look now,but you can still tell there is a little something on them. It was overcast today as well. The tires might have more of a sheen in sunlight.

I did order some more Tuf Shine tire cleaner so I will scrub the tires down again real good at some point and start over. Also, the "rain forest" has 303 Tire Balm in stock again,and I placed an order for some. Gonna give that a shot also!

Let me know how you like 303 Tire Balm. It needs about 15 mins, depending on the temps, to dry. If the tire is completely clean lay down a good base coat and go from there. In most cases, 2-3 coats gets the job done initially.

303 Tire Balm will be here before you know it

Yeah,I really like the look of it from pics you and others have posted! Cannot wait to try it. It was pretty warm today,but I just didn't feel good. Couldn't get going. I wanted to wash the car,but felt terrible. The sides of the car are not bad at all,but the top surfaces are nasty from snow and ice sitting on them and them and then melting. Man,that leaves a car so nasty!

The 303 seems to be real steal for the looks and performance!

The nice thing about 303 Tire Balm is that it's not tinted, so NO chance of staining the edges of your rims. Also the price is very fair, especially when you consider how much you get. Finally the product dries quickly, meaning adding layers in a pinch isn't an issue. Oh yeah, one more thing, this product is completely made in America, from development, testing, packaging and the product itself
