    Looking to try something new for tires.

    Trying to get away from clingy protectants, maybe something water based. I've used Armor all foam pretty faithfully but it seems to only hold up for about a day or two, any suggestions?

    Re: Looking to try something new for tires.

    I use a McKee's Tire Coating on my tires.

    It's nothing like a dressing. Takes some prep work to use it though as the tires have to be surgically clean since it's a "coating" and not a dressing.








    Besides that, I've been using the SONAX Gloss Tire Gel a lot lately and it's a darn nice dressing.


    From this project....

    We used SONAX Gloss Tire Gel to shine up the tires for the finishing touch!

    Re: Looking to try something new for tires.

    Although it's not necessarily designed as a tire tire coating/dressing, I'm quite happy with the results I've gotten from Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer (the cream stuff, not the aerosol) on my truck tires. It's a lot more work than a simple dressing to apply, but it looks great, it's dry, non-greasy and has excellent durability.

    Mike beat this Mike to respond but I to was going to recommend McKee's Tire Coating. It's been working out great for me.

    Re: Looking to try something new for tires.

    I like "clingy" tire dressings...
    not the ones that are "slingy".

    With that in mind:
    I use Optimum Opti-Bond;
    and/or Meguiar's M39/M40.

    Re: Looking to try something new for tires.

    I've tried a lot of different tire dressings and really like these two:

    OPT Opti-Bond

    GG Black Shine Tire Gel

    Next spring I plan on trying one of the tire coatings that are available but if you don't want to coat you wouldn't be disappointed with the two I mentioned.

    Here is a pic of one of my tires after cleaning with McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator and dressed with GG Black Shine Tire Gel

    How long are McKees and Gyeon lasting? Like the idea of coating a tire and not worrying about it for months. Especially on my two grocery getters.

    I'm still using the Bold and Brite based off your 14 Vette and yours and Pat's recommendation at DF. Love that stuff. Don't dress my tires that often. Not really going to impress the Walmart crowd with dressed tires on my Sienna. I save it for special occasions like a trip to the big city and Target
