Tire_dressing_Chart.png
I was doing my daily reading on here and came across the various charts that people have put together for the shampoos, rinseless, and waterless washes.First I want to say thank you and good job on the charts to their creators.I decided to try to help contribute by making a similar one for tire dressings.Hopefully this will help someone.Any brands I forgot feel free to let me know.The price per ounce is off by .01 usually on the high side.
Thanks for reading hope you enjoy

Nice chart. Thanks

Of all the factors you consider when selecting a tire dressing...where does price rank?


For me personally:

1. Appearance

2. Longevity

3. Sling

4. Ease of application

5. Cost per application

6. Available OTC

I'd like to add No silicone in between 2 and 3
Another plus if it's:
- Not attracting dust
- Touching Free
- Natural color or nice gloss black
- etc .... :)

According to the chart, which one do you like best? :)

I would think longevity and cost/application would be closer together since they seem related.

Not as concerned with what it costs as I am with how long it lasts. I don't want to have to dress the tires weekly. Will be trying Tuff Shine soon.

The ranking is just my opinion

How do you rank these qualities?

I see your point. Longevity more of a convenience thing.
Pretty much same as you but I think 1,2,3, might be a tie for first.
 
Great effort, robmick! Thanks for doing that. While there are a lot of other subjective things to evaluate, this spreadsheet will help me narrow down some candidates based on price.

And that helps. Any chance you can expand the A and B columns a little wider?
 
Tuff Shine seems like the most expensive, but after the initial application, it requires only a tiny amount of product to rejuvenate the finish. It does dull over time, but a 16 oz. bottle should last for years. Previously I was using Pinnacle dressing, and I went through a 16 oz. bottle in a couple of months.

I want to try Turtle Wax Endura-Shine to compare.
 
Puckman:after work I'll get that changed up.i can also add a "sling rating"(would need input on that from everyone),longevity and ease of use(again would need and welcome input from everyone.anything else? Rob
 
I have some Eagle One Tire Gel in the spray bottle. I didn't see it in the chart. Does anyone use this? What are your thoughts?

A listing of gloss from low to high would be nice too. Tires never look very good for very long. I don't particularly care for high gloss look. I just want something that makes them look kinda new for a few weeks. (and I don't want to spend a lot of money doing it).
 
That's a nice chart! Just keep in mind that some products, PERL for example, are cut 1:1 for tires, so the price goes down.

Though you really want two coats to bump up the durability, which would negate that dilution savings I guess :)
 
Am I the only person here who uses Aerospace 303 on tires?? It's just over .50 an oz, lasts FOREVER, and you can spray it on and forget it.
