    SHOWDOWN: Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel v. Poorboy's Bold N Bright v. Optimum Tire Shine

    Hello my fellow detailers, I recently received sample bottles of tire dressings and thought to myself that there's no better way to compare them than in an old fashion showdown. My go to tire dressing has been Poorboy's B&B for about 9 months now and have gotten great results. As great as it is, my curiosity got me thinking how well it could compare to other tire dressings that I've heard great things about by the pro's in this great forum. Well, lets get started.

    Please excuse my dirty car and wheel. I had no motivation to do a full wash on my car and was just anxious to get started with the showdown. First things first, no tire dressing touches my tires without the tire being properly cleaned. I did a thorough cleaning using Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner until white suds confirmed it was ready to go.



    Dried the tire using my Metro Blaster Sidekick. It was dry in seconds.



    Using painter's tape, I divided the tire into 3 sections and cut a stained but clean foam applicator into 3 pieces to make sure not to cross contaminate between dressings. This pic shows 1 coat of each dressing applied to the tire.



    The following pics are 50/50 shots of the dressings. Each section of the tire has 2 coats of dressing.









    I'll be updating this thread as the days go by so keep checking in if you're interested in the results. Thanks for letting me part of this great community.

    How would you compare the look at initial application? They look pretty similar in your pictures.

    I enjoy seeing others perform product comparisons. It allows us to see step by step their approach, the products they've used and the results. I especially enjoy hearing the testers comments and opinions as they progress...

    Looking great and I'm anxious to hear any updates you might have....

    Thanks everyone. It's very hard to tell on the pics but I have to give the initial edge to Optimum. It was the easiest to apply and produced the best shine. I'll make sure to keep you guys updated.
