Making tires look good is a huge part of the finishing steps to any detail. It's a Test Question on the IDA Skills Validation test.


Mind you - we're not talking about tire COATINGS - but traditional and/or conventional tire dressings. For example, Armor-Al is considered a traditional Tire Dressing.



What say you?

I am totally addicted to the PBL Tire Clear Coat. I would say my first criteria would have to be that the dressing be from the Pinnacle Black Label Line.

The second criteria would be that it has to condition the tire and keep it from turning brown, and another would be that it would be long lasting, and easy to remove.

You could re fortify it the tire dressing during your regular maintenance schedule. For example you could just wash the tire with a soft brush and then re apply the dressing leaving the tire clean and re fortified and protected.

Perhaps a tire dressing that would be engineered so that you could remove it and apply a tire coating!

I'd say it has to dry to the touch and have some type of SiO2 compnent as well and if possible using the previously mentioned criteria.

In my opinion the shine and appearance should achieve the look of the PBL Tire Clear Coat. I just really love that look!

I think one really good idea could be a tire coating booster. A product that gently cleans the tire and the tire coating while boosting and strengthening it.

In order of importance for me:

1: Water based. It must be water based. Sick of solvent based messy goopy products thru the years. Plush clean up is easy if you get it on a rim or need to clean an applicator.

2: A deep rich black look. I want a dressing to really turn the tires black.

3: A satin look. I don’t like glossy tires. I feel it takes the eye away from the paint I just spent hours polishing! It should compliment the paint not outshine it!

4: Dry to the touch.

I would like a tire coating, is that the same?
Something that says not for the meek but last more than weeks.
A year of durability that is impossible to remove from the rubber. Okay, maybe nearly impossible.
Also it can not brown or flake, blah, blah, blah

Applied once is a satin with additional coats amping sheen.

Black tinted and stains concrete forever.
Oh yeah, isn't insanely priced for 4 ounces.
I hope Santa sees this.

Love..Love..Love that old Blackfire rubber and tire dressing! No longer available.

I have the last gallon...that was sold 3 or 4 years back!

Best stuff. No sling, matte finish and lasts a lonnng time!

You know guys, Gyeon Tire and Tire Express are pretty hard to beat I've also had great experience with 303 Tire Balm, which has that slight bluish hue when applied, a coating trait.

word to Meguiar’s, that they keep on making

Interesting comments.

Just to note, to my knowledge Andre and team are not working on anything.

I was simply thinking about this product category and wanted to see what other's think.

I used the Griot's High Gloss Dressing on the Chevy truck I detailed last weekend and I thought it worked great EXCEPT - I always WIPE the tire sidewalls down with a scrap rag after application to remove any excess and thus prevent any dressing sling.

Wiping the tire sidewall also reduced the gloss.

And then I thought,

I'm happy that I won't see any dressing sling, but I ruined the high gloss I was looking for.


So started this thread.

Have you tried the Pinnacle Black Onyx?

I just ordered some.

Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel dresses your tires in a dark, satin finish that protects the rubber for weeks! This tire dressing and protectant enhances
