Meg's Hyper Dressing Sucks!

**smriddler** · 02-12-2015, 08:42 AM

I just bought a gallon of this stuff and I went to use it for the first time. Used with the proper tire applicator. I first tried spraying it onto the tire and it foamed up white and looks messy. Then I poured it onto an applicator and rubbed it onto the tire and same thing. After sitting for a few minutes, the "foamy" look goes away but the "wet tire" look doesnt last very long. Went out this morning from yesterday afternoon and it's already 1/2 gone. Am I using it wrong??

Meguiars D170 Hyper Dressing

What was your dilution?
I used this product for years before switching over to AM Cool Blue - mainly for price difference.

I no longer use either.

What are you looking for the product to do? Do you want the "wet tire look"? If so, Hyper Dressing was probably not the product for that.

Yes, I was trying to achive the Wet Tire look. And Vegas, I actually did not dilute at all. I figured using concentrate would actually be better... Guess not.

I personally like Hyper dressing. It may not last long but it does the trick. I personally dont like the look of super glossy/wet tires. This has the perfect shine for my tastes. It does foam up if you use to much I just about 2 squirts per tire. go around the car, then go around once more to just wipe in or soak up extra. I never get sling either.

Hyper dressing 1:1 is my go to. I spray onto a foam applicator and to several swipes around the entire tire to ensure thorough soak in. Ends up being pretty glossy.

Maybe we need to reset things--smriddler, how did you clean the tire before you applied the dressing?

The prep of the tire is critical to dressing success.

Never used it on tires. But its my go to at 4:1 for wheel wells. Just about to order some more.

Yeah you are bashing a product because you were expecting it to do something it wasnt intended for. I too use it and LOVE its performance. I knew going in that the majority of water based dressings will not be "wet look" and just like Eric I dont like the wet look.

Hyperdressing at 2:1 or 3:1 works AWESOME as a spray on and walk away for wheel wells and engines. Maybe you can use your gallon like that? Unless you like those areas to look wet also.

I used to keep several spray bottles mixed at different dilutions for customer desired result.

Hyper dressing is a top notch product.

When I lived in the Mojave it gave me the high gloss wet look on my then new FJ that I desired with relatively low sling- but sling nonetheless.
I recall that the Cool Blue was somewhat "wetter".

I rarely detail cars anymore. I pretty much gave away what was left of my OTS and OOB gallons.

Kinda stuck on the Turtle Tire coating because of Klasse Act and a lady big rigger named Spoiled Bratt.
