    Re: Best $10 Tire Dressing

    Even though it’s more than $10, I’m going
    to suggest Meguiar’s M40 Vinyl & Rubber
    Cleaner/Conditioner.

    IMO:
    $13.50 is still pretty easy on the wallet.

    Hmm. I use 1:1 and I’m fine with how it looks. All I can say is maybe the dressing looks different on different tires. Maybe it looks shinier on one tire and more matte on another. I will see once I switch dressings and get new tires. I currently have Michelins but will probably be getting Continentals when it comes time to change tires.

    I just finished up a bottle of Optimum Opti-bond Tire Gel and wasn't impressed. It looks good when applied, but doesn't last very long in the dry and has no durability at all if it gets wet.

    Thanks. I tried it out at 1:1 on a set of Bridgestone performance tires and it seemed to do very little. I'm just looking for a black, like-new appearance, but after giving those tires a wipe down using the amount of product I'd typically use with other dressings, I didn't see much of a result at all. It also didn't seem to hold up very well in the rain. I'll keep playing with the amount and mixture.

    Re: Best $10 Tire Dressing

    That’s the type of dressing I’m trying to avoid. I read Duragloss holds up pretty well in the wet so that’s why I’m interested in it.

    I keep coming back to PERL for this. I find that if it doesn't work right then the tires aren't actually clean.

    Amen. I have tried 10-15 tire dressings.

    The only one I really like and use is the DG 253.
