I'm going to order meguiars hyper dressing would it be a good tire dressing or should i get something else
 
@ Above...
I bene using perl the last 2 times after i wash my car
The shine doesnt even hold up for like 3 days.... w/o seeing water even
 
Hyper dressing is nice and can be diluted to your liking. Not the longest lasting but will hold up between washes while still remaining economical.

apply 3 coats and you'll be impress. Well, unless you're looking for real shiny dressing, then perl is not it :)

is not the shiny i care about... is just it doesnt last long...
I remember having AT LEAST 2 coats if not 3
Drove it for like 3 days and it looked like i washed my tires again.... there was no shine or what not....

But i have used Perl at diluted ratio for dashboards and floor mats with great outcome

TW wet n' black lasts for several weeks and leaves a semi shiny almost matte sheen.

My bottle is 2 years old, so I dunno if the formula has changed, but I love the stuff. Survives rain too.
 
PERL as it is so versatile. CarProFreak, perhaps you didn't clean the tires well? Works pretty long for me. I usually do two coats, but on my personal car, three coats. Last a long time and beads water very well still even after it seems like the PERL is gone.

Interesting. I checked out my wife's car this morning and the tires look nice. She drove it to work 3 days straing (120mile total). Maybe it's new tires :)
 
G6, Blackfire tire gel, Meg's nxt tire shine and sv pneu. Can't decide which one. Lol
 
which hard to decide what to get i think it all comes down to personal preference
 
I honestly dont know how u consider the tire is clean.
But i do scrub it with a mitten... not the type u use to wash car..
It feels more rough when u touch it.
Anyways i use car soap with that mitten to scrub my tires.
Today i used Meg's Super degreaser on my tires and applied Four Star tire gel....

So we will see how that goes....

But a sidenote .... after i even used Meg SD and scrubed it, i applied the tire gel with a old HT pad and the pad was still black after i applied it....
 
Either Meguiars Endurance Shine or Chemical Guys G6. Been using a lot of G6 lately since it lasts a lot longer.

I personally spray some Megs APC+, scrub it very well, rinse and then do the process one more time. Amazing how dirty a tire really is after APC+. After the PERL, my applicator pad still does turn black, but only lightly after all 4 tires.
 
Maybe i didnt scrub it hard enough then lol.
Need to get a stiff brush or something next time
 
In order for your tire shine to be the best it can be, your tires must be squeaky clean and dry. I use Zep Purple at 4:1, which I highly recommend, and then dry them with a leaf blower or even better a Master Blaster before applying your dressing. It will bond better, look better and last longer. Speaking of bonding, I like Opti Bond or DP High Gloss gel. I have begun to apply my OB with a small spray gun and my air compressor and the tires have NEVER looked better! So even an application and gets into every little rib and crevice. Check out my last 2 Show N Shines for how it looks.
 
I agreed w/ Richy. The tires gotta be clean. My choice of tire cleaners are Zep Purple 1:1 (I have 5 gal container for my personal use :) and Amazing Roll off. They both do an excellent job of clean craps off the tires.

@Richy...My airgun is on the way. We'll see how your method works :)
