    I shined the floor with the tire foam by the way. I spray it after I cleaned it and let sit for 20 minutes. I came back and wiped up the remaining liquid. Then I turned the heat and baked it in. No slime and mess! Just a slick finish. I did all the tires, wheel wells and interior with ONE can!
    Man, you guys find some innovative uses and applications for different products!! AWESOME!!

    4:1 is 4 parts water to 1 part chemical.
    Most chemical spray bottles have the marking. The Megs bottles in my pic has 1:1, 4:1 and 10:1. You just fill with water to which line of dilution you want, and then fill with a chemical to the top. Pretty easy this way.

    Justin,

    How durable is the tire foam? I've used Armor's All's Tire foam in the past, and although it was semi durable, I've had great luck with Armor all's gel. Have you ever tried the dressings from the detailing line from Megs? I want to try them, but I don't want to have to buy a gallon sized bottle. I'm trying to find the best bang for the buck when it comes to tire shine for my summer business.

    I've used about every dressing there is. AA Gel is one of the best......just takes alot of time to apply then I have to use something for the wells. Megs Hyper Dressing is one of the best for the dollar. It can be cut up to 4:1. The tire foam is just best for me. I like it cause it cleans and lasts ok for my bi weekly customers. Remember, we have alot of gravel roads here. You want a matte look where I live. Not alot of shine. I've had to adapt to my clients needs. Most don't even want it because in one day they will have an orange ring of clay around the outside of their tire!

    Thanks for the reply, saved me a thread post. In my neck of the woods I'm looking for durability. We have all paved roads here, but rain maybe twice a week on average. So needless to say I want something that will last at least 2-3 weeks. Also I plan on doing around 2-4 cars a week so I don't want to buy little AA ge bottles every 2 weeks.

    With that said and with your experience, do you think Megs Hyper dressing or Silicone-free dressing is a good start? I'm going to try and get some samples from Megs.
