    It looks like Armor All Outlast Tire Coating on your tires.

    I'll give it a few days and see if it tones down a bit.

    Wipe down any excess to knock down the gloss. I find it to not be that glossy and straightforward to apply with not many swipes.

    I've had really good luck with 303 Protectant. I put it on my tires and it lasts weeks. A little less if it rains, but still longer than any other tire shine that I've tried.

    This was after a week of rain.

    Re: Review - CarPro DarkSide

    So pulling this thread up. What were the opinions when Darkside was tested beside Jescar?
    And I am guessing something like Carpro Blackout sits above these in many rankings??? (Looks, durability, ease of use - it may be below in that - etc)

    Re: Review - CarPro DarkSide

    Yea, so through reading some past posts (again, the benefits of these forums) I see you (Mike) moved away from coatings. I am more for the easier overall experience myself, so Blackout is not for me, lol.

    So just curious how Darkside and Jescar compare, no more Blackout.

    If I had to choose between the two it would be Jescar.

    Re: Review - CarPro DarkSide

    Looks like Jescar is not available here in Australia, and I'm on the market for a tire dressing that doesn't have that oily shine ..

    Maybe CarPro DarkSide can give me that matte look of a new tire ?!
