I appreciate when you share as I feel your input has always spot on (please bro... share more!). Based on your and I believe Aaron NZ’s post I stocked up on MF’s and a bunch of pads before my first polish/coating. I was thinking OPT for value but F’ it. I’m gonna go with the black pearl. It’s not much more than the McKee’s.
Question:
Is Black Pearl a product that I can continually top or do I need to remove and reapply when it needs refreshing?

Appreciate the luv dude. I agree with you on how tuff shine kinda looks like it’s on top of the tire and I don’t care for that myself either. Both McKee’s and OPT look better then Tuff Shine imo.
BP doesn’t need to be topped with anything. Just wash with car soap. Like I told you before, if you wanna try BP or McKee’s, just let me know. I’ll send you 4oz of each.

Re: Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)
After 3 weeks I lost the fight with myself and gave in....light topper coat added this afternoon. It didn't need it, let's be clear but I gave into the little devil on my shoulder, he said "hey...its been 3 weeks since you last touched them, what's wrong with you!". Plus I'm listening to AC/DC right now, "Hell ain't a bad place to be"

Re: Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)
Soooooo, I decided to try something. My front tires are different from my rears but the same make and model, 2 have rim protection and 2 don't. The 2 w/o are on the front and the edges don't look as good as the rears and yes, I understand the whole front wheels turning but I topped my coated tires with Gyeon Tire Express, "just to see" what happens.
Has anyone done this before

Re: Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)
If you keep touching those tires your going to wear out the side walls before the thread.

Re: Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)
So today we took my buddy's RX-7 to check out a carshow, fair amount of driving there and back but once we returned to his house he noticed that brown, curling up sh!t was on the tires again, ###! I mean this has to be from the tires outgasing, pushing through the coating and causing this...right The tires maybe have 600 miles on them and their Continentals FWIW.
Thoughts???

Re: Optimum Tire Protection Coating (TPC)
I will say that 3D yellow degreaser at 4:1 will not remove this stuff. Freshens it up rather nice!
