Hi all,
Preface: let me say im a big fan of Griots, i have the g9, the g8 mini, I love their compounds and towels, and even their 3 in 1 ceramic wax. This review isnt me hating on a brand.
A while back I ordered some black shine tire and Trim coating as part of a larger order of things. I was running low on my go to options and figured id try this. I used it for the first time about 2 weeks back getting one of my old trucks ready to sell.
Application:
I cleaned the tires with some soap and a drill brush as prep. I sprayed the tire shine on, and was surprised by how much it took for an even coating. By the time i had everything coated, there was too much on the tire. I wiped the extra off and went on to the next tire. Once id done all 4 i came back and had to wipe a few more times to keep it from being actually wet. I followed the instructions, and this isnt my first aersol tire shine (blackfires was really good).
All this would be fine if a little annoying if it werent for the over spray. It got on every window on the truck, the windows of my other car parked next to it, and it wasnt even windy.
Shine:
It is SHINY, if you like shiny this is the stuff for you. I was a bit dissapointed that i wasnt able to dull the shine by wiping off as one usually can with other tire dressings. I dont like shine, but I cant ding the product for that since its supposed to be shiny. Just know, if you get this expecting to be able to dull the shine by whiping the tires down after application, it wont work as expected.
Durability:
It lasted the week it took me to sell the truck, it didnt seem to be wearing off at that point either.
Bottom line:
I wont buy this again, i wont even finish the bottle because it created a bunch of extra work for me having to re-clean the windows and wipe down the paint. I am also not a fan of the shine, but again thats not a ding on the product since it advertises shine. If you want VERY shiny tires and are veryn careful with application this is probably a good product for you.
