Re: Tire Dressing
I only skimmed the most recent pages on this thread and started reading it in whole.
Duragloss. What a throwback name. I used to love the shampoo. Same like Griots...
Griots got watered down. I wonder about DG
Anyhow, these enablers here has got 253 in a shopping cart now.
Haven't used it in ages and not a decent life, but even today, I still always like how Z16 was on rubber

Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic Tire Shine Spray Coating (applied to MICHELIN X-ICE)
CarPro DarkSide
On a side note I repurposed a cheap SPTA Car Wax Handle Applicator and microfiber Pad to apply Tire dressings easily
What are your thoughts on Dark Side?

So far, quite happy with it I only applied one layer and it has a nice semi-gloss sheen which I prefer(black without greasy gloss), seems to dry so the tire looks dressed without an oily transfer when brushed up against.
We got a bunch of snow here so I’ll get a decent feel for how it holds up to some wet and sloppy roads…

Please let us know how it goes. Thinking of getting a more durable tire dressing/sealant/coating.

CarPro DarkSide (applied to Bridgestone Blizzak)
Another 10 days (3 1/2 weeks) of sloppy snow with a short reprieve where I was able to clean the car with Darkside applied to tires. After a light scrub with a detail factory tire brush to remove dirt and grime the tires still have its same low gloss appearance, color me impressed… Upon close inspection they still look dressed but maybe showing signs of beginning to “fade” .
Darkside 3 weeks of winter

I had a similar experience as well. I’ll try it in different sets of tires but it doesn’t last much/any longer than DG253 and is harder to apply so it won’t be taking over as my primary tire dressing.

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…
