Tire Dressing

[DFB]

How do you find it more difficult to apply? As with any new tire dressing I just did a deep clean of the tire as I do anytime when I’m applying a new product to ensure it “bonds” as well as possible. Which means scrubbing with a stiff(blue) drill brush and a rubber cleaner (CarPro ReTyre), rinse and dry then apply TWHSGATSSC to an applicator, apply to tire and let sit and then level with the same applicator. The prep is the time consuming process, applying wasn’t any different than any other spray and wipe type of product…

What you are doing is correct and generally always leads to an easier product application.

In terms of Darkside application, I can say that its oiler consistency needs more rubbing/working to get it to produce an even finish. That doesn't mean it's a bad product, just different.

I have tried some of the thicker tire dressings such as Gyeon Tire and using an applicator is more time consuming than using a flag-tipped brush, which is what I use with DG253. Just spray on the brush, apply with a few revolutions, and then done. No need to wipe to remove excess or try to get an even appearance. Now if there was a dressing that had significantly better durability (and secondarily appearance) then I’d deal with the more involved application. But for now, DG253 is still my go to.

For those that run 3 season / 1 season shoes.

I hate this time of the year.
Bit of a grey area in tire choice
Morning' Late Evening a bit too cold un-predictably if a really cold snap that make the rubber compound hockey pucks.
However, however being the key word, daytime temps is warm enough that I'm driving on Gummi Bears.
Just dropped off new wheels@ shop new rubber, which spurned this post
