I just got a bottle in, so I figured I'd give a review and update it once a week on how long it lasts.
Appearance-Blue water. Nothing special. I figured it'd be a runny gel, like Germ-X after it sits in the sun, but wasn't the case.
Smell- sovlent-y? I assume. It's not like the other products in the Detail line. I have APC+, which has an orange-ish scent, Body Solvent with a vanilla scent, and Paint Reconditioning Cream with the cherries scent. I almost expected raspberries. But then again, it doesn't matter how it smells, as long as it's not overpowering and the product works as it's designed to.
Set up-Tires are Goodyear LS-2, 18". I scrubbed them down with a Mother's tire brush and Gold Class car wash. I should've used APC+ to get off all the gunk, as I had been using AA Tire Foam the past couple of times. But I think they were clean enough to go forward (plus I didn't think about it till after the fact). I first applied about 4 squirts on the tire and wiped around that, but then I saw it was getting on the blacktop, so the others were done with squirting ASD onto the Cobra tire applicator.
Pictures- I should note that these were taken after one day and driving about 35 miles on dry highway.
Left fronts.
These were the ones where ASD was applied directly and wiped
Right frontsThese were done with ASD applied to applicator then wiped
Conclusion
I'm happy with the shine they give. It's not overly done like Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss. It seems just right. I hope it lasts. I'll report mileage with each day. Since it's summer time, I'm not driving a whole lot, but I'll do what I can, even if it means going for an afternoon drive.
