    Applying hyper dressing?

    so i finally got some hyper dressing to use on wheel wells and tires. i diluted it to 4:1 but i feel i applied it wrong or something. The tires looked good to the customer but to me they didnt seem to look that great. I sprayed it on the tire and then wiped it around with a MF towel. How do most of you guys apply it?

    Hey Oscar

    I've never used the stuff, but have used dozens of others....the same application plan seems to always provide the best results for me

    1) Spray on product (Gels suck, and are nasty)

    2) Walk away for 2 hours amd let it cure

    3) Polish wheels

    Good luck

    so its best to shoot it onto the tires and wipe any residue off the wheel and just let it sit?

    ive always used gel ones but hyper dressing seems cost efficient.

    Thats the way I do it. If you have a product that slings though, your going to be in trouble

    We use Hyperdressing, 3:1. The key point to remember when using a water based tire dressing is the the tire needs to be clean. We use APC (10:1) and a good wheel brush. Rinse, then wipe down using a clean towel. Then, we spray the Hyperdressing and blend it in using a towel. Without a through cleaning, all the Hyperdressing in the world won't make the tire look good.

    Good point!

    Don't forget to clean the tire before applying your dressing Oscar and make sure the tire is 100% dry before applying

    i spray the product (i used Duragloss #281) on a tire applicator pad and apply to the tire as such. this eliminates overspray, keeps the rims clean, and allows u to apply product in a uniform manner.

    The key for me is to spray and let sit at least a half hour, then wipe excess off. If you wipe off as soon as you spray, it doesn't get a chance to penetrate.

    I tried several methods, it certainly looks better after penetrating.....I used a dedicated foam applicator for tires......It is a good product, and thats coming from a loyal Opti-Bond user.....Megs is more cost effective.....but I still love the look of Opti-Bond

    I've stayed away from the Hyper dressing so far because I hear the durability sucks. Tell me how you like it Oscar!
