Tires dressing and old tires

[ziggo99]

Morning all,

Yesterday I was cleaning a truck and started to apply Opti-Bond, and I knew that one coat wouldn't be enough, but it seemed as if I was applying 5-6 coats per tire! I ended up finishing with Eco Touch Tire Shine because I out of Opti-Bond, which did finish the job but I didn't like that I had to use two different dressings and I don't know if Eco Touch was being soaked in or not, since I had already applied so much Opti Bond.

My question is, which tire gel is excellent for older tires, or will it even matter and I'll still have to apply a lot of coats? I was thinking DP Tire Gel would be better, but I wanted to hear from you.

I have this problem every time I detail my grandparents' car. The tires only get dressed twice every year so it usually takes 2 heavy coats of DP Tire Gel for them to look good.
