Coated my tires today and WOW,

Ordered the WS80's today from my buddy @ Discount Tire. $50.00 rebate when using my CarCare One card, which I always do anyways, better to use someone elses money than your own:thumbup:

Once I get them on I'll be cleaning them real good and coating them real good, probably going to go with 3x's this time around since they're so new. I just bought some Wesley's Bleache-White too, oldie but a goodie!

check out youtube for a vid of the new WBleache White and see if you have same results.

Maybe this has been asked in this thread previously?

I wonder, after using a coating such as TW Endura (or Tuffshine) can one just apply 1-2 coats, then come along with another water based dressing to top, and also use such dressings perhaps to maintain some weeks down the road?

I wonder how another water-based Tire Dressing would even adhere to a Tire Coating?
Could it be:
If it's "strong enough" to stick to it...
it'll be "strong enough" to displace it?

Not sure of that, since some have commented that some regular APCs do not easily remove the coating. Unless there's some cleaner products within some of the water based dressings?

I would guess that if one sees black dye upon a dressing application, that there would be the answer to that question.

But as you say, strong enough to stick to it, or bond without coming off with the next wash, or rain?

Reckon there's one way to find out?

Why would you do that? A dressing would just attract dirt whereas a coating will prevent stuff from sticking to it.

Thanks for the vid, I had no idea they were bought out! I will check my bottle when I get home for sure:sly:

As far as the "test", well, not sure how much time really went by but you've gotta scrub the tires shortly after spraying them down, it does dry up fast. Also when you rinse down a brush its damp, thus making it sud up a bit more.

I have also used Purple Power in the past and now have Super Clean, mixed @ 1:1 ratio. I'll be doing a Jeep this weekend, looks like I'll have to see what's what with my tire and APC;)

Usually, most water based dressings-protectants like Optibond, PERL, etc dry to the touch. Cannot say if these would be greater dirt attractants than the coating, and I reckon there's one way of finding out?

The dusty climate which I have here would sure be a good test lab to find out one way or another.

It's kind of like the whole waxing a coated car thing. Let the coating do it's thing. If you enjoy dressing your tires just dress them with a water based dressing and don't coat them.

That's a pretty good comparison Killa and all I can say is this, if you wanna make the tires look better, after a month, re-apply the coating and use a little less since you've got a good base laid down already :xyxthumbs:
 
After doing two different applications so far with the TW coating, I have been thinking....

Maybe it's not too finicky like a lot of coatings, and a "surgically clean" surface is not necessary. The directions after all just say to spray and rinse the cleaner once, and say agitation may be necessary. Well let's say you spray and rinse and agitate twice, and still getting a dirty towel from the tire, I feel it is still "clean" enough to apply the coating to the dry tire, considering it is still double what the manf. recommends for necessary cleaning. Just thinking here.

Also, has anyone noticed the tires to look kinda brownish after being clean before application? I experienced that last night, keep in mind it was under direct LED light (applying in a low-light atmosphere) so that could've been the problem.

I also notice that under direct LED light, the coating is actually navy blue, hmmm.

Also, after the coating is done and not up to us autogeek standards, how do you get it completely removed? Without making a retched mess?
 
I agree about the tire not needing to be "surgically clean", I've used the provided cleaner w/o a problem but then again I keep my car very clean, including the tires, so take that for FWIW.

I too have noticed the color of the TW tire coating, I thought I saw a purplish hue to it, LOL!

As far as removing it because of our "standards" here, well, I can only speak for myself here but I see NO reason to ever remove it, it looks great and holds up for a real long time :dblthumb2:
 
Just as a counterpoint: I applied two coats to very clean, four-year-old, low mileage tires and it looks great. And black. Probably how the tires looked when they popped out of the molds at the Michelin plant in Italy. But on my own car, the Yokohamas I cleaned with APC and treated with 303 a month ago look like I did them yesterday. Less sheen than the TW, just a nice, dark, healthy tire look.
 
Not sure how and why you guys have killed the original applicator but its good to know you guys have found other things to use:thumbup:

Really looking forward to my next test, the new snow tires are on their way here from Texas...yeah, Texas and snow tires, LOL! I'm going to clean them real, real good, let them dry, probably over night and then apply 3 coats of the TW tire coating and let it ride! I would like to see how long it "really" lasts and what I mean by "really" is when they turn brown or are basically there. I'm predicting 2 monthes right now;)

Have you encountered any rain? I never used 303 on tires, but when used on exterior rubber trim I found it wouldn't survive first contact with rain or snow. I also found it not lasting very long in hot summer conditions.

I like the product and it's my go-to for interiors, I just didn't find it to work well on exterior rubber and trim. This TW product has my attention and I may give it a shot when my current Duragloss bottle runs out.
 
In reply to adding another tire dressing on top well I tried it with Perl two coats let it sit for hours after spraying on then wiped. Well the first rain the Perl was basically gone and ugly it wouldn't stick to the TW

For Dust and dirt I work right by a couple rock quarries and drive through that dust and wet slop everyday and you can just use Ultima or Gary deans waterless on the tire and waterless wash it and it shines and looks great no need to top off
 
@Nate yeah, lots of rain and dirt here. I think the key was the good scrubbing with 505 or APC (I don't remember) that I gave them. The 303 seems to soak deep into the tires. I'm not saying they look as good as the TW tires, but they look clean and not the eye-sore that most tires on daily-drivers are. I'm about two weeks from swapping to winters and storing these, when I'll clean and 303 them again for the winter. In spring I'll likely switch hem to the TW. Yes, it's that good I'm glad to say. Two coats barely used a quarter bottle but I'm stocking up this winter, especially if Target/Wally/Kmart clear out their car care stuff like usual.
