Reviewed - Chemical Guys Natural Shine Dressing

**Nick McKees37** · 01-24-2012, 01:18 PM

Chemical Guys has been the topic of discussion on Autogeek Online the last several days because it's a brand that most thought they would never see on the shelves of PBMG. All I can say is, get used to it, because the line will only be expanding from here on out. In the coming weeks we will have even more Chemical Guys products in stock, including gallon sizes.

With over seventy different Chemical Guys products to choose from, the selection can be overwhelming if you're new to the line. Having a broad selection of products to choose from is a good obstacle to face, so I'm going to shed some light on several of Chemical Guys' more well-known, talked about products to make the selection process easier.

The first product I'm going to talk about is Natural Shine Pleasant Matte Shine Dressing, or better known simply as, Natural Shine Dressing. Natural Shine Dressing is a water-based gel that can be used to protect and beautify virtually any vinyl or rubber surface, including tires. It is packed full of UV inhibitors and because of its thick gel formula, application is a breeze.

I chose to test it on the tires of my daily driver, to see how it would look and more importantly, how long it would last. Before applying any tire dressing, the tire should be thoroughly cleaned.

Chemical Guys Natural Shine Dressing provides a low-gloss, natural finish and just like the manufacturer claims, it dries to the touch and does not sling. It's also one heck of a value at $9.99 for a 16 ounce.

Looks good. That applicator is my favorite one so far.

Thanks for the review Nick. I can't wait to try this stuff myself.

I also can't wait to try this. It will be in my next order for sure.

That sure looks good! I wonder what the durability will be like in comparison to Opti-Bond.

Nick, nice review...

Any suggestions on a HIGH GLOSS/SHINE CG Tire product. I am going through my "high shine" phase and was hoping for a suggestion.

BTW, I cant believe the price/value of these CG products!

thanks again!

Nice Nick. Thank you.
Any hope of you doing a review of CG's leather products?

That applicator is seriously the best I have used. And I have used a lot.

As for the product... Looks like a nice product, but I wonder how long it will last on the tire?

Very nice review Nick! I have a gallon of VRP Dressing from Chemical Guys and love it.

With two applications of VRP Dressing I find it to have a pretty good shine in my eyes.

Here is a picture of 2 coats of VRP Dressing on a set of Corvette tires...
