    Looking at the photos comparing with Gyeon G2 both products look pretty shiny and glossy. Does that tone down some as they dry? Based on those photos, it is glossier than Perl (at least the amount I apply) and probably not something I would be interested in.

    Best way to see the appearance is on the video as I have documented how it looks the day after and 2 weeks. I don't have photos of the tires at the moment.

    Re: Review - CarPro DarkSide

    I like the dark satin sheen it provides. I’m currently using Jescar tire and trim protectant. After surgically cleaning tires with McKees 37 tire and rubber rejuvenator I get 3-4 weeks at most of durability. May try this and duragloss 253. I see that is highly recommended. Thanks for review.

    Thanks. I figured as much. That's the down side of not being able to watch the videos at the moment.

    Jescar is good. For me it went 6 weeks which is really good. I am testing Jescar side by side with DarkSide at the moment to see how they perform against each other.

    Totally understand. If I had a photo I would have posted it. It is a stain appearance.

    I used Gyeon Q2 Tire for a while, I could get it down to a satin sheen but it's naturally a shiner dressing. I'm not sure I will jump on Darkside, mainly because I feel like it will sit at the back of the cabinet like Q2 has been for a long time now.

    This was Q2 at it's best -

    Great review as always.
    Does YouTube pay more if the video is lenghty?

    That’s exactly where my Q2 sits. I don’t have much left in the bottle. But it’s on the verge of being trashed.

    Is Darkside endorsed by Darth Vader?
