I'm going on four months on my 2014 Mirage.
Amazing stuff for under twenty bucks, complete kit.

I'm assuming you meant 4 weeks since you just bought your mirage.

I'm going on 6 weeks and it looks to have faded quite a bit. You can still see there is something on the tire.

Unlike Tuf-Shine I don't think it will last four months IMO but if I get two months I'll be very happy being I still have plenty left:dblthumb2:

Tuf-Shine lasts four months? Depending on how long this stuff lasts that might be my next purchase. Don't have much of the cleaner left but plenty of the TW sealant so it might be a while.
 
I got perfect coverage with no streaks by first scrubbing the tires with Bleche-Wite, then with the cleaner in the kit, then dried with air. I applied coating to a spinning tire with a very wet applicator. Great control this way & got none on the wheels.
My tires were old & brown but now look brand new.

And BTW the liquid smells delicious!

Amazing isn't it?
 
I am somewhat disappointed with Tuf Shine, in that I only got about two months of shine out of it, and really, the last few weeks were not as shiny as when I first applied it. I wasted a lot of product due to failures as well, so I only have a teeny-tiny amount left from the original 6 oz. bottle; not enough to do all four tires.

I've been waxing and waning over trying the Turtle Wax product. What I did on Friday instead was use the bottle of Tuf Shine Black Restore I had. I do not know about durability, but I have to say, it looks as good if not better than the Clear Coat. I gave the tires three coats.

 
Has anyone tried to top the TW product? I am wondering if you can do that or if you must remove it before hand.
 
I purchase the TW product about a month ago, everytime I have time to do a detail it's raining so I have yet to try it. Hopefully tomorrow will be different and I can give it a try. On the plus side, the Opti-Coat I applied a month ago (maybe a bit more) is still going strong. Really like that product. The thought of TW making it obsolete in my arsenal kinda break my heart LOL

Actually I will probably just offer it as an option to clients, in the coating department :)
 
Any updates from anyone?

It will be seven weeks Saturday still looks good you do have to wash them cause dirt and pollen but still hanging on
 
I'm pushing 8 weeks and I can still a very little sheen of it on the tires when the sun hits them. 8 weeks is not bad at all. I'm actually going to try out Meguiar's Ultimate black tire coating this weekend and compare the two.

So in 2 monthes they don't look like day 1, what percentage has been lost over time if you had to guess?

They don't look like they did at day 1. The front tires have about 30-40% still on the tires. The rears are holding up much better. They look like they have about 40-50% left on them. I will use it again down the line. It is nice not having to dress tires every couple of weeks. They are also easier to clean with just soap and water.

Give it a shot. It's worth the money.
 
Next time I'm at Auto Zone I'm going to pick some up and try it for sure, but I'll need to clean the hell out of my tires to remove the old dressings for sure!

I'm not a glossy tire fan just black and don't turn brown in a week.

I finally got the "Tire Shine" browned-out silicone off and used Aerospace 303, even with all the "runs off in the rain" talk. It has now been three weeks and the tires beaded water in the rain yesterday.

Also, wiping stuff on with all those tiny grooves in the side was just bubbling. So, I sprayed the tires, waited 3-4 minutes and wiped it off. Then a second coat. Worked fine.

My next comparison will be with the non-shiny version of Duragloss tire stuff. It is not available through Carquest, so I am waiting to have a large order from AG to add to.
 
Klasse Act this one's for you.

What are you gonna use to get off the turtle wax? I tried goo gone pro power spray gel even on the stuff and it didn't take it off just cleaned the tire good. I am sure if I tried enough things with a brush attachment on a da I could get it off but goo gone with a towel rubbing didn't.
