    Shiny water based tire dressing

    So I’m a big fan of water based tire dressings but I’m also one of the few that like the deep wet look of the solvent based dressings. I recently got a small bottle of the Chemical Guys VRP and LOVE the shine I get after two light coats. What is best bang for my buck water based product to get this level of shine? I want to try the Meg’s Hyper Dressing but don’t want to buy a gallon in case I don’t like it. However I do like the fact that I can dilute and get a ton of product. Pic of the VRP below for reference.

    Since:
    Chemical Guys VRP is a water-based dressing...

    And:
    To borrow a Mike Phillips/Jack Anderson adage:
    https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...thing+you+like

    •So...IMO:
    -You went one step further:
    you found something you LOVE.

    -Your “dressing” search is over...amiright?

    I Agree with Bob.

    If you Love the CG VRP, you will probably be disappointed in other offerings.

    The alternative is to risk it, and buy other products, but you have already stated you were hesitant to buy the gallon of Megs HD. So if I were you, I'd just stick with my CG and be happy you found one you love.

    Re: Shiny water based tire dressing

    Thanks for the advice guys. Was just wondering if I can get more value from something else that’s just as shiny. A gallon of VRP is about $35 but can’t be diluted. A gallon of Hyper Dressing is about $50 but I could turn that gallon into 2 or 3. But you’re right, if I can’t get the shine of the VRP it’s moot.

    In the end, it's all up to you.

    If I had just stuck with I had initially loved, I could've saved a few hundred dollars on stuff I ended up just giving away. But I'll never learn. Lol

    keep in mind this is RTU (most likely diluted 3:1 from the concentrate), so if it's diluted down even further it could effect it's performance..

    The bottle says it’s a 1:1 dilution which is probably what I’d use it at. We’ll see how it goes.
