Tire Dressing

**DUBL0WS6** · 07-08-2021, 11:28 PM

A bit on the expensive side and a pretty small can but the Meguiars Ultimate Black tire coating works pretty well. I think the claim of 4 weeks is stretching it a bit though.

Meguiars Hyper Dressing diluted 1:1
Soaks into the rubber and dries to the touch. Always the perfect finish.

A good friend of mine loves that product. Ive never tried it yet. Ive been stuck on megs m40 applied with a 3 inch paint brush. Yields the same results imo as you say you do with megs hyper. Never browns or slings

M40 works well… Consider using a flag tipped brush. You might like how it works vs. a paint brush.

I will have to try that. How well does it work for cutting in around the wheel? I like that i dont have any clean up on the wheel surface with a brush

Another vote for the Duragloss 253.

Unlike the Optimum Tire Gel and CarPro PERL I've used recently, it will survive contact with moisture. Even in dry conditions it lasts longer for me. I can't wait to use up my PERL supply so I can go back to using 253 again.

I'm waiting to use up my PERL too so I can get 253. I'm pleased it comes in a gallon size.

In line with the old saying that "Even a blind squirrel can find a nut" , the very first and only tire product I have purchased from AG is DG253.

Using a flag-tipped brush to apply tire dressing is the bees knees, definitely one of the best tips I have picked up from this forum (thanks Eldo !

).

To answer your question specifically, it works very well for cutting in around wheels. The best analogy I can think of is how a sash paint brush works when you are cutting in trim, etc.
