I'm in on this too, :xyxthumbs:just waiting for warmer weather. I also picked up their Jet Black trim coating; just wondering if the trim coating can be used also for my tonneau cover. Thank's.

I would actually use the tire stuff on the bed cover, easier to spred. Btw you NOOBS to using the TW tire costing don't worry about the color of the product, it dries black

Does the "brand" of tire matter when looking for results?

I purchased this product and looks and worked great with the Michelin's on my car. However, with the same cleaning process on my Yukon with Bridgestones, I am very dissapointed. I have applied 3 coats compared to the 1 coat on the Michelins and it looks like I did nothing to the Bridgestones after 1 day of driving the Yukon.

For reference:
2011 Infiniti M37s with Michelin's purchased in 2013
2015 Yukon purchased 3 weeks ago with new Bridgestones.

Thoughts?
 
I would do another cleaning and reapply, I too notice a difference between tires but it's always looked good even after weeks.

Yes for sure the tire brand makes a difference. We found out this winter that winter tires also make a difference. there is some experimenting on each tire and age and even application temp. Warmer temps seem to be better. It can be effective to do your 2-4 coats one day and maybe do another 1-2 coats a day in the future. Just have to experiment. It definitely isn't as fussy as some products.

New tires have a lot of release agents that take a while to finally get them out of the rubber. I find it takes time & cleaning. Some brands have more than others. My new Nitto tires seemed to clean easily and absorbed my tire sealant quick and looked good (maybe less release agents?). But the Goodyears on my other vehicle did not absorb the sealant, evenly even know I cleaned them well. It's been about 6 months and the last attempt at cleaning and re-sealing seemed to finally work (maybe more release agents?). They look good now. My wife just installed new Bridgestones, so I am afraid those will take a while to de-gas and get all the release agents out.
 
Thank you all for your replies. I thought I was going nuts for a minute.

I will re-clean and try again this weekend.

We're all learning the curve with tire coatings and what we post here will help all the noobs to follow

I found similar results with new Goodyear tires. Streaky appearance when dry. After driving 100 or so miles and a few rain storms, I cleaned them again and attempted the coating. The results were now what I expected and the coating has been on since December.
 
I know this thread is about TW and we all love it or at the very least really like it but I've put a couple comments on here about DP tire coating. I did an initial 3 costs and thought it looked great but after a week or two it really toned down compared to TW. Now I should say it's new tires compared to ones with miles on them and warmer temps, so on and so fourth.

So today my car was Bird bombed and I hit the quarter carwash to get rid of it. I also rinsed off the tires and wheels and dried them immediately like normal. I get home and then notice Browning on 2 of the 4 tires. A simple spray of Bleache White on a Mr towel and I noticed black reidue coming off. Now I have to say this is something I did not notice with TW, it seemed to repel dirt better and clean up was just that, clean up and the sheen lasted weeks before it turned into a matte, natural finish which during the winter lasted the entire time.

I'm really thinking DP isn't going to do well against TW here, did I mention the price difference....what, too early 😝

Thank's Klasse for recommending the TW tire coating, this stuff is awesome and for the people worried about getting a bit of product on your wheels DG 501 removes it easily. I also applied the TW Trim coating to my tonneau cover and exterior plastic trim and it's also an amazing product.

No problem but it really helps that many others have also echoed my comments as well. I always keep a towel handy to wipe off any residue when you get some of the coating o the edge of the wheel because when it dries you have to work harder to get it off, using something like DG #501 is a great product for this. I should say that one thing right away better about DP over TW tire coating is that DP isn't as hard to get off if it dries up.

I did apply the 2nd coat of TW on my wifes car and its supposed to rain every day this week, so yet again, the test is on!

We have similar tastes Pro, pick some up, clean the tires really, really well so the old stuff is gone, best you can anyways and you'll like it if not love it!

There is a slightly learning curve with it as some, including myself, notice it can and does absorb into some tires, depends on brands and temps but when its warmer and the tire is not brand new, the TW is AWESOME :dblthumb2:

Works great, long lasting shine.
I still use it on my customers cars, they too love it.
A little goes far.

On tires that are a bit older and have any gases and "what not" out of the tires, a single bottle would last you for about 2 years, seriously. I applied an initial 3 coats on brand new snow tires, then an additional coat about 2 weeks later and I can report back to the group, which I did a couple pages ago, my tires looked newish at the end of winter when they came off, no shine/sheen but just a new looking tire, pretty good IMO.

On my new car last year, which was monthes old when I first applied TW tire coating, I applied 3 coats and that was all I needed. I would refresh them after 4-6 weeks because its the look I liked but even then, really didn't need to but to "tweak" the look, that's it. I could use QD on the tires to even out the look and all was good but a basic washing of the car and then tires would also do the trick, stuff is legit :props:
 
I'm back to TW tire coating on my new tires, the DP tire coating is holding dirt and not keeping the sheen. The TW after 4 weeks or so looks like the DP does after 7-10 days. The DP is still a good product but not as good as TW IMO📣

Good to hear. Just picked up both the trim and the tire version. Might try some tests with both on the same piece of trim and the same tire 50/50 to see if there is anything different between the two.
