Well I finally had a chance to try it out, my first impression of the VRP is amazing.
It doesn't give you that oily, high shine like most dressings do but sure makes them look crisp, dark black color that I love.

Not sure how long it will hold up, just need it to last until my next wash because I dress them no matter what, love that clean dark color it gave my tires.
A little goes a long way so it should last me a long time.
I'm sold:)

Right now I'm working on getting rid of the swirls using the v34.
I could not beleive how well it cut and so easy to remove,as easy as a polish.
I'll give a full review once I'm done.

I'm leaning towards buying more products from CG'S in the near future.:xyxthumbs:
 
Glad you like the VRP. I have a couple of tips. The cure time is much longer then the dry time. I learned to buff the excess off with a dry MF. I treat the whole car then go back and buff it out. The first time I used it on the exterior I did not buff it off it ran when the car got rained on the next day.
You can also cut it with distilled water to make it easier to work with. You can spray it on and you stretch your product. You have to go back over treated areas to ensure even coats sometimes. I cut it 1:1 and use a kitchen wand emulsifier to mix it. It foams up a bit. After sitting in a spray bottle for a few days it will seperate but you only need to shake the bottle well and shake it eery now and then while your working with it.

The V series polishes work great if you want to try the others they have a 4 ounce sampler pack for $20 you can get direct from them. Just a hint after you use V series polishes make sure you do an IPA wipe down. They are loaded with lubricating oils. I learned the hard way when my LSP failed.

If you have any questions or need opinions about CG products just PM me.

Great tips. Ive used VRP on my last 4 details and have been extremely impressed.
 
Once my silk shine ran out, I bought a gallon of VRP and haven't looked back.

Knocked out a quick wipe down after I got my DD back from the dealership today.

Thanks for the tips.
I may try cutting the VRP when it gets about half way.
Question,
Does it give you the same results when you cut it?

I saw the sampler , to be honest with you I'll buy all four but in larger bottles, the v34 is a 32 ounce bottle so it should last me along time. It works very well, nice cut.

I'll give a full review on the v34 later, it really did a nice job for me.

Great products CG'S

Never noticed any difference in product performance. It makes it easier to use.
 
I just put VRP on the interior of my Jeep last week. Great results. Not greasy but gives a nice shine.
 
VRP is awesome for interior stuff. Durability on exterior trim could be better. I find Optiseal on exterior plastic gives me the same look but is much more durable.
 
I also like VRP I purchased a gallon awhile ago and it goes a long way and it's priced right.:xyxthumbs:

Is VRP water repellent?
Click to expand...

Yes it is, how well of a water repellent is yet to be seen on my part but it is a water base dressing.
I put a second coat on my tires and wow, they never looked this good.


As I said I love to dress my tires each time I wash my cars so not worried as to how long it will last but more of how well they look after I apply the VRP.
I'm sold on the VRP.
Great price too
 
You're right about a little going a long way, I put two coats on my tires and can't notice any product missing from the bottle.
I'll be buying a gallon also.

Hardly a week's durability with CG VRP on a 70-mile daily driver out in the sun at least 10 hours a day. Having much better results and durability with Ultima TTG. Pricier though.
 
:iagree:

Eco smart makes some great under the radar products..

And their customer service was phenomenal. I emailed some generalized questions and they got back to me in an hour. And we kept emailing for about 3 back and forths and they were happy to help..

was great
 
Glad you like CG's VRP.

Most water-based dressings' "durability" is equally affected by similar environmental/man-made events.

Have you ever tried other water-based dressings such as:
-Meguiars D171...(Less expensive than CG's VRP)
-303 AP...(More expensive than CG's VRP)

These two are among my most favorite '3-n-1' dressings.

Just applied this to my tires, and interior.

Can't comment on longevity yet.

Smells good like all CG products.
 
I use VRP on interior now because it smells nice but it didn't like water on tires. I switched to prima infinity for tires but I was told to try Ultima tire and trim.

agreed their customer service is as you stated perfectly -> phenomenal
 
Not to hijack a review but Eco touch APC is amazing as well. Foams nice, not too strong, but cleans excellently.
