    Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)

    I guess to be fair I did scrub at it with the tarx on there for a good while using a short bristle brush, but if you watch their video on Facebook of them doing the same process with their tar remover it’s the same result.

    I only had to touch up a couple spots, and there’s the little patch from where my tire was against my driveway I’ll take care of it when I get home.

    I guess time will tell how it holds up once more people are using it on daily drivers. I’ve seen fairly good results from people using it on the optimum Facebook group so far.

    I see that Tar-X's most active ingredient is Petroleum Distillates (55-65%). Didn't try any Lacquer Thinner when trying to remove the Tuf Shine.

    Thanks for the input.

    I'm not sure I would lump lacquer thinner into petroleum distillates and consider them to be equivalent, if that's where you were going.

    Re: Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)

    I have had a weird experience in my first try with optimum TPC. I mistakenly applied it with the Carrand brush, and result was a streaky look. Don’t use the brush! There was also a brownish color to the final look..not sure where that came from? Any thoughts? As below, I think the brush was the culprit.

    I scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned all tires x6 like I have with TufShine on other cars. After this first tire’s disappointing look, I applied TPC with a foam tire applicator and the others look much better. Perhaps there was some Perl left on my brush from prior applications that caused some reaction to create the brown look —- brownish black and streaky is not my idea of a sharp looking tire.

    Finally, I am not sure the look matches TufShines....it just doesn’t look as black and rich...kinda looks “plastic-y” and uneven/splotchy. I prepared and cleaned the tires thoroughly so don’t think it was the prep.

    Just curious about others’ opinions or experience with both the brown and the look issues. Thanks.

    Lacquer Thinner will clean tires up very well. Only thing I have found that can remove Armor All.

    Man speaks the truth. Goof Off also works well.

    They’re solvents so good idea to wash well after to help neutralise the surface, and of course protect with chosen dressing/coating/sump oil.

    Yeah, I'd like to hear some input as well, such little chatter on a product from a very solid company.

    Mine has been on for about 3 months now. Still looks like it did when I applied it. So far, I like this product.
