    Looking for shiniest water-based tire/trim dressing

    I've been experimenting with water-based dressings on my Plastidipped wheels. I don't find the Plastidip Glossifier to be very good.

    So far I've tried Spray wax, 303, CG VRP, and CG G6.

    I like the G6 the best so far, but I'm hunting for even more durability and shine.

    I've been looking at the new Pinnacle Gel, UTTG, and Tuf Shine.

    Out of these three, which will last the longest and shine the most?

    Tuf Shine is awesome for being dry to the touch and not slinging but it's not very shiny. This is 3 coats.

    You are talking about the rim, NOT the tire, right?

    Wait, you meant for the wheels or tires?

    That's what it sounds like. He wants an alternative to plasti-dip's glossifier.

    With that being said, I find Opti-bond to be pretty shiny.

    CarPro Reload. It's a water based silica sealant with INSANE gloss.

    Re: Looking for shiniest water-based tire/trim dressing

    I don't believe Optimum Opti-Bond is a water based tire dressing. At least not what I have. It does not mix with water.

    Carpro PERL on the other hand is diluteable with water, and is water based.

    While I have liked Opti-Bond quite a bit, I'm liking PERL a bit better. Like Opti-Bond, Perl will give high gloss to tires with 2-3 applications I've found.

    Over time, apparently due to time, washing, or rain, some gloss is of course lost with either, but this is probably true with any tire dressing made.

    PERL seems to be less "oily", and I note it seems to attract less dust than Opti-Bond Gel does.
