How to remove DP Tire Coating
Didn't the TW tire cleaner actually remove the coating?
I'm in the process of removing the M37 from my wife's BMW tires. The original coating is about 16 months old. It was recoated around the 8-10 month mark. I'm out of tire coating so I'm trying to remove it. I have cleaned them with M37 tire cleaner, Shine Supply Wise Guy tire cleaner, Mother Back to Black tire cleaner, Westley's Bleeche-white, and ZEP Purple Industrial cleaner so far scrubbing with a TS brush. Since the coating is a bit old its coming off better than a fresh coating for sure, but I can still see the coating in many places. I don't think it will ever come out of the ribbing and tiny lettering.
The tires on my own car still do not absorb regular tire dressings properly. I did my best to strip them back in late spring. They have been cleaned at least once a month since then too. Its getting better but its not an easy process to remove it.
I loved the way the M37 tire coating performed. It was extremely durable for me. The satin sheen was just right for me. They also cleaned easily with normal shampoo. I just felt that when I got to my 3rd reapplication it looked terrible. That prompted me to try to strip it.
I think you're kind of married to the tire coating for the life of the tire once you've applied it.
Nope, the TW Tire Cleaner will not remove the coating. I haven’t found any cleaner that’s really effective at removing the tire coating. If and when I have to remove it I rely more on the type of brush and have had the best results with that old Meguiars Tire Brush they used to sell back in the days. It may not look it, but that brush can work some wonders on tires, but even then it’s alot of work..
A brass bristled brush might work but I’ve never tried it for removing tire coating. They’re supposed to work great on white wall tires and I can’t think of any tire brush that’s more aggressive than that.
I know what you mean about trying to switch back from tire coating to dressing and it never wanting to accept the dressing again... It’s not a death sentence but it’s close and can seem like a daunting task to try and bring the tire back to virgin status.
And just to add to this discussion....
I coated just ONE tire on the below Corvette and then wrote the below review on 09-10-2018, 11:11 AM

The owner of the Corvette contacted me today, says it looks great, no problems and wants me to do the other 3 tires.

Used the TS coating and wasn't a fan personally. From what I've heard about a lot of other coatings I'm not sure I'd try them either. I like Perl. Lasts long enough for me and when I reapply it takes 2 minutes.

I’m down to my last full bottle of the TW Endura Tire Coating, but I do have a healthy stockpile of the TW Endura Trim Coating [I think I’ve got like 5 bottles of it] and it can be applied to tires and does a heck of a job of looking the part upon application, but it can’t match it’s longevity on tires. It does pretty good for touch ups over a base layer of the tire coating, but on its own, even when 3 layers are applied it pales in comparison. It’s phenomenal on trim though.
