I've tried a ton of tire dressings and this is my favorite as far as looks and durabilty. It produces a deep matte black look with a subtle amount of sheen, not too much. The durability of this stuff is better than anything I've ever tried. I wash my wheels and tires every week. I use Meguiars APC+ diluted at 4:1. This is considered heavy strength, and it still does not remove the Opti-Bond completely from the tires(scrubbed with a tire brush). Here is a pic from my iPhone about an hour after I applied it. The rotors look rusted because I just finished washing the car. It was cloudy outside, so it really doesn't give a true look of the finish. However, it's better than nothing. :xyxthumbs: I use Opti-Bond diluted at 1:1.

great product indeed, thanks for the review too.
 
Thanks for the review, it's my favorite tire dressing too. :cheers:
 
I love my DP and its going to take some time to get through it but when I do I am looking towards opti bond. Have wanted it for awhile, just have to finish that DP first. If it beats the DP I will be impressed. Thanks for the review

I use DP too since it takes literally a drip or two to do one whole tire
 
Not a bad product at all. I like this and Ultima Trim and Tire. Didnt know you could dilute it 1:1 though. Ill have to try....
 
Here's a few tire and wheel brushes... notice the Makita cordless blower that I use to dry the wheels. Prevents rotors from getting rusty and having red dust on your clean wheels.

Opti Bond is my favorite too. Also does great on wheel wells. So why am I tempted to try the Four Star thats on BOGO? Has anyone tried the FOur Star? I really like Polycharger.

:eek: nice collection! I only have the EZ detail, mothers tire and fenderwell brushes. I have a toro leaf blower, but it's not that great.

Looks like you would make a great surgeon too!
 
I'd like to see someone do a side by side comparison of this product versus Optimum Tire Shine.
 
Anybody ever apply it on with a HVLP spray gun??

When it really warms up, I'm going to......so far, have just used a tire sponge from Harbor freight with Opti-Bond right out of the bottle. Even with diluting it, the 32 oz. bottle out to last until 2095. Will be interesting to shoot it on and do wheel wells in the process.

See ya.
