This is a short review of the new Detailer's Pride Tire Dressing. As part of the new 2020 release, I was fortunate to receive several of the new Detailer's Pride for review. Detailer's Pride Tire Dressing is water based tire dressing. I currently use either Meguiars Hyper Dressing (diluted 1:1 for tires) or Poorboys Bold and Bright. I have switched to all water based tire dressing since I feel they don't tend to brown my tires, attract less dirt, and make overall make cleaning the tires on every wash much easier. I particularly like Meguiars Hyperdressing since it is very economical and can be diluted to adjust the gloss level. Also having the ability to use it on other surfaces like wheel wells, engine bays, and interiors is a huge plus. Additionally I also love the look of Poorboys Bold and Bright since it also does have some cleaning abilities in the dressing and gives a very dark, clean, and not overly greasy look to the tire. The only downside to Poorboys Bold and Bright is the price point compared to Hyperdressing.
Product Description:
DP Tire Dressing is a water-based formula that preserves original color and texture. The 100% water-based formula of DP Tire Dressing protects the original look and feel of your rubber tires, but it will enhance the appearance with long-lasting shine. Sling is not an issue with DP Tire Dressing, and it is also easy to apply. DP Tire Dressing will keep your tires looking dark and fresh for several washes and rainy days!
Cost: $14.99 for 16 ounces
Application and Thoughts:
1. I applied Detailer's Pride Tire Dressing after thoroughly cleaning the tire. It applied and spread rather easily with a flagged tipped brush leaving a very deep rich gloss. The look was not overly greasy and I waited about 15 minutes and drove my car with no sling. The gloss level is great and I could have knocked it down even more by going over the tire with a micro fiber towel. I assume you could also cut this product at 1:1 for a more matte look on your tires. Overall I was very pleased with how Detailer's Pride Tire Dressing looked. I am looking forward to seeing how it holds up in the rain compared to other water based dressings. I have been told that this is one of the new Detailer's Pride products that might be sold in gallons so depending on the price point it might make it a good competitor to Hyperdressing for those looking for a water based tire dressing in bulk.
