    That's a cool idea, Mike, but I think I'm even more intrigued that you used PNS on tires.

    Was an interesting thing to watch when you went live and I watched.

    Thought the same thing. Perhaps this will be the next trending thing to do.

    Here's my reply and it fits here too....

    I did put it on my own car's tires but have not checked to see how it's holding up.

    Will do so later today and next time I wash it.

    So later today, I'll wash my own car, (novel idea), and check to see how the PNS is holding up on the tires.

    Even if the results are just okay but the tires wash up good, that's what I want. I don't like oily tire dressings and I only apply Tuf Shine Tire Coating to the "right" type of tires and my SUV tires don't qualify as "the right type of tires".


    I like fast and easy. Durability is a non-issue if I can quickly and easily apply a fresh coat after washing the car.


    Make sense?

    Very cool. I also liked the PNS as a dressing because any overspray is not a big deal. Easy wipe-up. However, greasy overspray from greasy tire dressings can be a nuisance to clean-up.
    Thanks for the tip Mike.

    Just to note.... when I get overspray on the wheel, I simply massage it over the wheel spokes and outer rim and then give it a final wipe. It only takes a little PNS to coat a wheel and the overspray is the perfect amount. Thus I dress the tires and protect the wheels in one step.


    The Maserati has left. The owner, Dominic is taking it to the Maserati dealership for some maintenance. I gave him one of our Do Not Wash Car hang tags and told him sternly,


    Show the Service Manager your car. Ask him,


    Does it look like it needs to be washed?


    The answer is NO. So tell him, DON'T let your car wash or detail guys wash the car. They will ruin the finish. Plus it was just washed and detailed.



    Fingers are crossed the Palm Beach Maserati dealership can do a they are requested.

    Here's the original article I wrote for this topic back in 2013


    DON'T WASH CAR! by Mike Phillips


    Of course, this was before the above tag was created. Back then I suggested to people to print out their own hang tag....

    Have Dominic insist that they also write that instruction on the work order. That way they have no excuse and can’t say they forgot. Worked for me.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    I did.

    By that way, that little tidbit of info or recommendation is in my original article.

    You have to go to EXTREMES when dealing with dealerships.
