Tire shine. Which one?

[DogRescuer]

What is RTU form?

My other question is you say that this dressing lasts longer than any dressing you've ever used? Have you ever compared it to Optimum Tire Gel?


QUOTE=vanev;1472495]10 tires for a tractor trailor is a tall order.
That will take a lot of product and the necessary time to complete.
The tires will need a thorough cleaning, or otherwise the dressing will not be able to do its job.
The fastest way to do the job is to simply take the necessary time to do the job right.
So, a day when the truck is not in use and you are not in a rush to get it done.

As far as product, I would suggest a middle ground between a coating and a water based dressing.
Coatings are just not necessary and will take more time in prep work and application.
Water based dressings will look great, but the road and weather conditions of over the road driving will make quick work of tire dressing that is diluted down.

My suggestion: Meguiars D161.
It is water based, but in RTU form, and silicone free.
It is the longest lasting dressing I have ever used.
It also handles poor weather conditions better than anything else I have seen.

RTU means the product in the gallon is "ready to use" and not a concentrate.

IME using Hyper Dressing @1:1, after a few applications, it tends to penetrate and truly conditions into the tires leaving them matte black long after the initial shine goes away. Refreshing them simply brings back the shine, but they stay nice and conditioned for the most part.

You'll need an aerosol with all the tire lugs. It would take forever to put Megs Endurance on 10 giant off-road tires. The GG Tire Coating spray works very well and dries to the touch.

Optimum Opti-Bond Tire gel and a HVLP gun maybe be what you need. Product is pretty cheap, mix at your desired dilution and with the HVLP gun you've turned it into an aerosol.

Thanks Eldorado so if that dressing is RTU why dilute? Or is that just what you prefer?

Duragloss 253 would be another good option. It's durable, inexpensive, finishes dry to the touch, and comes in spray form. A little bit goes a long way and it's very easy to spread.

I love CARPRO PERL.

Vanev is the 1 who mentioned Meguiars Silicone Free Dressing not me. That's the 1 that's RTU. Hyper Dressing dilutes up to 4:1 and isn't recommended to use straight.
Meguiars RTU dressings in their Detailers Line include:
-All Season Dressing
-Water Based Dressing
-Silicone Free Dressing

RTU:
Ready To Use.
No dilution required.

Have not used Optimum Tire Gel.
I am not suggesting that D161 is the best tire dressing in the universe.
It is the best one I have used by comparison to many others.

One thing that stands out about this product is its longevity.
It really does last a long time.
Like any tire dressing, proper application goes a long way towards longevity.
Letting it soak in is the trick.

Tip:
Use your hands wearing nitrile gloves as an applicator to spread the product over the entire tire.

The prep on all those big tires would be murder...
