Huge fan of shiny tires

I think the meguiars endurance gel is water-based.

That looks like Meguiar's G75...ENDURANCE HIGH GLOSS TIRE PROTECTANT

Section 3: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

It's said that a tire dressing that contains polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)...
Is a "better" tire dressing than one that contains: Dimethyl Silicone (DMS)

But then again:
It is said that a Dimethyl Silicone Emulsion is a water dispersable form of a polydimethylsiloxane and silicone dioxide mixture.

Personally...I'd rather have the PDMS-product to begin with!

The reason for the lateness of the above reply was due to my watching OSU on the TV.

NISSAN; INFORMATION ON PAINT STAINS CAUSED BY TIRE DRESSING
APPLIED VEHICLES: All 2000 and later Nissan

SERVICE INFORMATION

"An aftermarket chemical product called “tire dressing” is sometimes used on tires. When the tire dressing is applied, it may combine
with an anti-ozonant compound (applied by tire manufacturers) to form a new compound that could stain vehicle paint.
The paint stains occur if the wet tire dressing/anti-ozonant compound slings onto the vehicle paint when the vehicle is driven.

Paint damage stains caused by application of the tire dressing are NOT covered by Nissan warranty.
Therefore, Nissan does not recommend the application of tire dressing to vehicle tires.

If a customer requests application of tire dressing to his/her vehicle, they should be informed
that the vehiclepaint may be stained if the tire dressing is applied to the tires and that
Nissan warranty does not cover the repair of these stains".

Something else to keep in mind when "dressing tires".

I like Meg's endurance too but idk about durability ...I'm going to try carperl one of these days
 
For really shiny tires I use megs Hyper Dressing 1:1. Gives a great glossy look without an overly "wet" look.

For a medium satin look, two coats of Optimum Tire Gel for the win.

Endurance Gel for people who want a shine that can blind.
 
I don't like a 'greasy' look. But I do like a nice shine. If there's too much shine, then once you drive it down the road it looks awful, as the shiny sidewalls contrast the faded and dusty contact patch. Maybe a museum or display car? But otherwise, I prefer a shiny, but subdued look that doesn't 'stand out' amidst the usual dirt that comes to the contact patch of tires.

Very interesting Bob, I did not know that I could void my warranty. I usually let my car sit for a few hours before driving it after I wash it. Surprisingly, the dressing does not sling. I always check after a drive. It is a water based dressing that my local detailing store sells. I know the picture makes it look extremely shiny that is because I applied an extra layer for the post. They are normally not that wet looking, but definitely shiny.

I hate silicone based sling action dressing I like freshness. Water based FTW!
 
Love shiny tires. I love that armorall look on them. ;)

In fact, I use armorall extreme shine
 
I like a satin or shiny look, but not greasy.
I've been using megs endurance tyre gel, but will be switching to cg vrp, and PB B&B. depends on the mood and on what people want :)
 
I like shiny. Especially on SUVs and trucks. PERL and Duragloss tire dressings work well for me.
 
Having shiny tires is like wearing patent leather shoes...kind of outdated. LOL!

Are you asking if I'm affiliated with the music business in some sort, or fashion?
The answer is: No...I'm not. (Wish I was, though.)

But if you're asking if I'm a Pascal-(kPa)-sort-of-guy...
The answer is: Not as much anymore.
That is to say:
Not as much of a "pressure-packed" lifestyle since retirement.

Sorry...Not from that neck of the woods.
Thanks for asking, though.

I did, however, have an opportunity to deal with risk assessment
in regards to EPA-issues that affected many OEM assembly plants.

Some things I haven't got out of my system yet...Literally!

Very cool!

Figured I would ask given your knowledge of product safety data sheets. (MSDS)

One mention of KPA to OSHA employees and they run!...well not always. :laughing:

Really disliked doing "the walk-around" with OSHA inspectors after an accident (or worse) had occurred.
I realized they were performing their job assignments...

But during the course of their inspections:
It seemed the fines to be assessed, (if any), were more of a concern,
than the concern we had for the affected employee/employee's family.
