Re: Your tire shine/gel/coating recommended product.
I coated my tires with the TW Endura on Oct. 17. I haven’t touched them at all, only thing they get is the occasional spray with D114, then rinse with the hose and blow dry. Exactly 6 weeks later, they look like this right now. Pretty much like day 1.

Does anyone dress BOTH sides of their tires? I do on the Cadillac and Audi but those two don’t see bad weather.

That is amazing. Turtle Wax was a common brand name and widely used product when I was a kid. Today there are so many superior products out there that Turtle Wax usually gets ignored or shunned. Your results are phenomenal. I just purchased the Tuf Shine coating kit and I am waiting for decent weather to use it.

Re: Your tire shine/gel/coating recommended product.
I like McKees37 Gloss Tire Gel. The "Gloss" in the name may discourage someone who does not like a high shine. However, McKees gloss is so easily controlled that it should suit everyone's preference. It is simply a matter of how heavily you apply it and how much you buff.
I typically clean my daily drive tires thoroughly one, maybe twice a year, with Tuf Shine. After they are dry I apply a liberal coat of McKees and let it dwell for an hour or more. They I buff to remove the excess. After 24 hours, I buff a second time. Pretty quickly the tire takes on that great look of new rubber, not rubber that has been spray painted! I generally reapply at 4-6 week intervals following just a normal wash. Subsequent applications do not require nearly as much product to bring back that natural looking shine.

I guess no one else dresses both sides of their tires. Might be more of an Autopian thing

Do you have a lift? Or you remove each wheel to dress the back? I don't see a reason to do it since no one will see that side anyways.

Yes. I have a lift but in the days before I had one I used to contort into yoga-like poses to fit underneath the car to reach the back side of the tire.

I do.
I use the TW coating when I have them off in the off season.
