I had the DWS before and although traction was great, the super soft side walls made me not like the tires at all. I had to add a lot more air in the tires to attempt making them feel normal again and it still felt like i was driving on marshmallows. The Pilot Sport has better rated traction on dry and just slightly behind the DWS on wet and snow. But they feel so much nicer/sportier in handling. I hope they’ll work well on the long run, it cost me about $250 more than DWS would have as there was a sale on those.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Well, when you spend $250 more for tires you have a commitment and based off of your needs you bought the right tire, conviction, nothing wrong with that. That's how I am with winter tires, sure everybody else generally doesn't have them but I feel better knowing I have tires made specifically to deal with the weather, even though I got by with DWS' my first couple winters here in Chicagoland

Washed, clayed, and waxed our 3-month old Honda Pilot. Used CG's Cherry Wet Wax on a Rupes white pad.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Good cleaning on the ZR2. And 2 more coats of the BF spray sealant. Getting close here in PA where my driveway washes and details will be a thing of the past. Thanks to colder temps and WINTER.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
For the first time I used undercarriage spray on the frame rails and exposed suspension parts of my truck. I was dubious but initial reaction is that it looks real nice. It returned everything to a dark, flat black. I don't know what to expect for longevity but I'm happy for now.

I hope I didn’t screw up because I put alot of elbow grease into the prep. Lol.

Cuz it sure is a mess on trim
I only have 2 bottles of the tire coating left. Then I have to spend bigger money to get something that I hope I am happy with.
Update: Using the Endura Trim Coating as the base layer resulted in an epic fail... The poor results happened fairly quik, within days the outer parts of the sidewalls near the tread had begun to strip off after the lightest possible driving.
The rest of the sidewall looked splotchy and uneven within the 1st week.. I my OCD told me not to mess with it in hopes that maybe they were just “dirty” and would return to their coated glory after a quik spray & rinse with Megs D114, but that wasn’t the case.
A few days later I went ahead and cleaned the tires with Megs D143 and it just about completely obliterated any sign of them being “coated”.
This is how they look right now. They’ve been bare for over a week and I have to start all over. [yes I know the wheel wells look like crap right now]lol.
Moral of the story: Endura Trim Coating can’t substitute for the now extinct Endura Tire Coating.
Turtle Wax are morons for discontinuing the tire coating!lol.
