    CG silk shine or PERL. Cut either one 1:1 with water for that satin black new tire, not wet oily tire sheen.

    Re: Tire dressing help

    PERL 1:1 tires/trim, 3:1 for wheel wells/engine, and you can also use it for interior as well. one of my top ten detailing products for sure...

    Re: Tire dressing help

    Tip for applying tire dressings to aggressive side walls is to get a shallow and small Tupperware container (or if you’re in a pinch just cut out the bottom of a water bottle) and pour/spray your dressing in to there and use a detail brush to apply it. Much easier to control its application without overspray and easy to get it into all the tread without using a ton of product. Afterwards quick wipe down with MF towel and you’re good to go.

    Re: Tire dressing help

    For weekly sprayable product: in no particular order. Poorboys bold and bright. Duragloss 253, carpro Perl, many of the tire aerosols at the store work just fine too.

    Megs all season may be a little too heavy for weekly use IMO. I used it on many occasions on tires and I actually like it on my weathertechs but it will make them slick for a few days

    Everyone has a different look they like most don’t last in the rain well at all but being weekly. Also tires react differently a set a Michelin’s on a passenger car may look very matte while a Continental on a different car will look much more glossy

    Re: Tire dressing help

    Griots black Satin aerosol
    Carpro pearl diluted to your desired sheen
    Mck37 SiO2 enhanced Tire Shine

    On truck tires I usually reach for the Griots aerosol

    You should like 253 much better. I've used 253 for many years and picked up a small bottle of the Optimum when my 253 bottle ran out as I wanted to get some experience with other products. I've been really disapointed. I'm not impressed by the appearance of the Opti-Bond, and it doesn't survive a single encounter with rain or snow.

    Funny experience with the Opti-bond as an example: One day I spent a great deal of time last spring detailing my car top to bottom including a very careful application of the Opti-bond. It was one of the few times it actually looked really good on my tires and I was quite satisfied when then sun went down. Overnight we had a horrific thunderstorm pass through which blasted the passenger side of my car with rain. The next morning, the driver side tires still looked pretty good without only a few rain streaks, while the passenger side had bare tires. The product has been totally washed off as if nothing had ever been applied.

    I want to try PERL when my Opti-bond runs out, but I wonder if it will live up to my 253 experience.
