Re: Matte/Satin tire dressing, recommendations?
For those of you who use Hyper Dressing or PERL, how do you apply it?
I've been using an aerosol from Meguiar's and I just spray directly it on the tire, then wipe with a microfiber or foam applicator. I like this process and it seems to work pretty good for me. Will the same process work for the two I mentioned above?

I use PERL 3:1 by spraying it on a foam applicator then wiping it on until it's even.

After watching Pan's video about tire dressings, I lost all faith in them. Unless you are gonna put on a tire coating, they go away so fast you will not see a huge difference between one from the other.
In terms of value, I think the best would be Meguiars Hyper Dressing. You can dilute it 4:1 and it will give a very mate finish. I have used Opti-Bond for about 3 years, it's ok but nothing impressive about it IMO. I think Pearl is very similar to opti-bond.
Again, I would go for the most cost effective product, and I think that is Hyper Dressing at 4:1. If you want more gloss you can dilute less (3:1, 2:1, 1:1, or even concentrated)

I use a flag tipped brush to apply Hyper Dressing. Spray into the brush, then brush onto the tire.
If you spray Hyper Dressing directly onto the tire, you’ll wind up with overspray on the wheels and possibly the paint too.

Man based on that picture of you applying it I gotta start being a little more liberal with the amount I spray into the brush lol.
I just do a few baby sprays and it never leaves as much behind as in that picture. I’m probably making it take a lot longer than it needs to

Yea I start with about 10 sprays into the brush, by then it’s almost dripping and even then I sometimes stop and spray a couple more times during the 1st tire... It’s guaranteed to be primed and then it’s easy to dress each tire [spraying 2-3 times before each tire] in about 10-12 sec.
There’s nothing worse than trying to dry brush..
Use it @1:1 and be liberal, don’t worry that gallon will still last you over 1yr. Lol.

I have switched to using Adam's Hex Grip tire dressing applicator and I am in love with it
It makes putting on dressing really easy and the result is just perfect every time. Saves time too.
