I did this one the other day when the weather got up to a balmy 57F.
I was tired of my new Continental DWS06 tires not keeping Duragloss 252 Tire & Mat dressing for more than a week as well as not being even. So after letting the tires off gas for a couple months, I decided to apply Pinnacle Tire Clear Coat. Here is what I used for cleaning supplies and tools:
Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner
Pinnacle Tire Clear Coat
Milwaukee 2438 Polisher
Medium round tire brush
Tuf Shine coating applicator
Eley hose nozzle (heavy duty)
Bigboi Dryer Pro
Autogeek ProLock Extension Cord
I cleaned the tires well with the Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner until completely white. Actually, I had cleaned them a few weeks earlier but wanted to make sure the new tires would completely off gas and take the clear coat without issue. After cleaning the tires well, I dried them off with the Bigboi Blower Pro and then started applying the coating with a Tuf Shine coating applicator. I really didn't like the coating applicator at the beginning because it was difficult to get an even coat. I'd probably try to use a foam brush or thin microfiber applicator next time. But after applying a second coat, everything seemed pretty even but I may have put the second coat on a little thick. I used the Bigboi Blower Pro to dry the coating between coats as well as even it out. After the second coat, it did appear pretty glossy, too glossy for me. But after a few days, the tires have the perfect amount of gloss for me and after a few weeks, the Pinnacle Tire Clear Coat is holding up great and I'm very happy with its appearance.
Hadn't driven in a few days and wow look at the rust after a few days of rain.
Comparison after one coat.
Wow, way too glossy after two coats. Luckily the gloss calmed down some after a couple days to a very nice well-dressed tire.
Tires look great to me and I'm happy.
