I never post product reviews but I was beyond impressed when trying out McKee's Gloss Tire Gel. I'm always searching for that ideal tire dressing and have bought dozens of products to try over the years. Having liked other McKee's products I snagged a bottle during one of AG's 25% off sales.

My go to for the past year has been Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel which has been great. My only complaint about Optimum is how many coats it takes and how much product I have to use to get the results I want. It's also thin and easily drips down the tire and onto the wheel when applying. On the upside, it looks amazing when done and doesn't sling which I why I haven't found anything I like better until now.

McKee's Gloss Tire Gel comes out thicker than other tire gels I've tried, similar to the consistency of a liquid wax. I applied a few drops of Gloss Tire Gel on a foam applicator to a freshly cleaned tire and got instant results. That was it, no multiple coats, no dripping, and I only needed a dime sized drop or two and I was done! It also dries to the touch and absolutely no tire sling. I'm also impressed with the level of shine. Not super intense, just a clean look with a deep rich shine. I can't believe how little product I needed to get the job done. Another fantastic product from McKee's!

Opti-bond my favorite too....I just might have to try this.
 
One of my favorite tire dressings. Just the right amount of gloss.

That's actually very nice, Frank. I'm a fan of satin sheen dressings, but I think I could deal with that look.
 
I like McKees Gloss Tire Gel too.

I was using the previous DP product then switched to this after the changeover and it has been all I use for my customers.

Good product!
 
I’m glad to be hearing good thing about this tire gel cause I just ordered some for the first time during the 25% off sale :). I usually use McGuire’s endurance gel. It goes on easy, has the shine I like, and doesn’t’t cost too much. It does however sling. I have also tried MgGuires tire coating spray which I also like but it doesn’t last very long and is overpriced.
 
Just used some this past weekend on my 350Z as I was prepping for Cars and Coffee. No sling and just the right amount of gloss.
 
That was my tire dressing of choice until I tried Perl. Only because Perl seems to stay on the tire longer. Mckee’s Tire gel looked great but wore off very fast, maybe 1 week. Less if it rained. Mckee’s was easier to apply because it’s thicker.
 
Very nice Franck. Is that a GLS?

Thanks, these are from one of my customer’s cars.

The first picture is from a GLS 550 SUV.

I have a gallon of McKee’s tire gel as well. I think I’ve been using almost an ounce per 4 tires, 1 application each. Is one ounce too much for 4 tires, you think? I’m thinking I may be applying too heavy, but I do like the look and still no sling yet.

That might be a little too much. My 16oz bottle lasted about 10 months doing 2 cars at home. One washed a couple of times a month, the other washed every week. I apply tire dressing every time I wash.
 
Thanks, I kind of knew I needed to cut down but it’s better to hear it via real life feedback.
 
And it smells great!

Its one of my go to tire dressings. I alternate between McKee's, Opti, PERL, and Griots.
