Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
This gives DP time to make their product better, hopefully their paying attention here!

Then it doesn't have the black dye in it?

No, it's white like a regular tire gel. I'm sure the black cost tech factors in to the looks of TW but if you find my old comparison thread on my DD work van it's obvious the TW has a slight edge.
I'll cross back over to the DP tire costing when I need to, still a good product just not TW

Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
Okay, maybe too late, but to answer the question, NO the Endura Tire and the Trim stuff are not exactly the same. A lot of MSDS searching.
BOTH are 80% water and "10-15%" acrylic polymer-- proprietary. The final 5% in he two are different. Trim stuff has ethers and glycol to penetrate; wheel stuff is different there.
So, not much different, but I am not sure about putting the ethers, etc. on the tires. Yet, the trim stuff says vinyl and rubber.
If I don't need to stain it black, I use Aerospace 303 anyway. (It's now in a new, confusing container.)

Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
The 303 is a solid product for sure but TW is in a different league. You wanna get the kit only that comes with the tire cleaner, gloves and special applicator.
It's a good idea to change the cap as the pin hole one the bottle comes with clogs easily. I've also had a guy post to put a thumbtack into the applicator to deal with the clogs.
When using the special applicator the first time your going to wanna prime the applicator by pushing the coating into the foam. If not it will just roll off and into the ground and get wasted...or worse yet into your pants or shoes and at that point you can forget about it because that dye is STRONG.⚠

Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
So oreillys had it on its site for 2.xx. By the afternoon it was not there anymore. Been calling around and finding some. One place told me it's been shipped back to distribution. Anyone know what's going on?

Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
Here she is almost a year later. I'd say it has had very few miles on it, and note that this side has been facing the sun for the last 6-7 months if not more. They are not great, but they look pretty good for not having been touched. I think they look a little better in person. You can see where it is failing but the low evening light really brought it out on the front wheel.

Re: Coated my tires today and WOW,
I did a contact us from their webpage and got the check our website to see where the product is available in your area. It shows all the resellers that have pulled it or clearanced it. So I emailed back, I DID CHECK the website, that is why I am emailing!
