Like this poster stated you really should look into this product. I've been using it for years, yes years and really like. The work is really in the prep and the shine lasts for months, when the shine dulls a bit just clean and recoat….no need to re prep the tires. We have trucks and don't have all kinds of time to mess with wet and slingy type dressings that make more work or look like crap in a few days. Here is a quick article, photos and video on application. http://www.reflections-detailing.com...-trim-coating/ Cheers
Great video! I'm down the road from you at the base and almost busted out the buckets since it was 46 degrees yesterday.....almost.

LOL I only present my opinion and experience(s) I've had with them.
What is the first product you "think" you had to have?
I'm glad you found the video helpful. We'll have to meet up sometime. I have a buddy that paints some of the planes down there and a brother in law that writes code for the fighters.

I'm around....just got here this summer. It was the soap thread. I get a little heavy with the Gilmore and a hose so hearing a few other options was helpful....annnnnd gave me an excuse to build the arsenal.

Ok, I don't like this stuff after all. It's a pain to remove.

What stuff are you trying to remove? The Tuf Shine I speak of you don't remove. If you are talking about the Silicone heavy products YES they are a paint to remove from your tires and anything else they splatter onto.

Recently, I've been using CQuartz Dlux Plastic & Rubber Coating with a Tire "Swipe" Applicator.
I like the look on tires and it appears to have very good longevity. Again...dry, no sling etc.
I picked up some TUF Shine Tire Clearcoat per Reflections Detail suggestion. I'll give it a try.

Be aware it's a PITA to get off if you want to remove it and make sure the tire is all the way dry and no water runs out of crevices. Treat it just like paint.

So far so good. I applied it, it went on pretty easy and it has a pretty nice "look".

I've been using (and still like) Dlux as it appears to act like a "coating" for rubber.
