So I am looking for the best product that will cover both Tires and Exterior trim. Something that has longevity especially on the tires (using Megs Endurance Gel on it now).

I narrowed down the list to Ultima TTGP and Carpro PERL. Was also looking at the Wolfgang Exterior Trim product but it is not in contention as much as the TTGP & PERL.

I am looking for a product that is versatile and will cover both the tires and the exterior trim equally good .

Suggestions appreciated.
 
Some products are better on rubber and some are better on plastic trim.
 
I am looking for something that will cover both grounds on the exterior. PERL & TTGP both seem to fit the description.

Not worried about inside plastic &vinyl. Just exterior.

Perl is good..UTTG has been changed and some don't like it, compared to the old formula. Like I said, IMO there are better products, but for individual uses.
 
If you are looking for something with great longevity, and only want to buy one product.....then I would personally recommend Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus.

Remember......proper preparation is key before application.
 
Yeah I am looking for one product that will take care exterior plastic trim as well as good on the tires. PERL & TTGP were the ones I was considering. PERL says it can be used both inside & outside ( using different dilution ratios) but I am not too concerned about the inside as I have 303 and the Ultima IGP for the interiors. I do want something that will cover ground on exteriors and tires.

So what is proper prep to use TTGP? Just clean surfaces on the trim and clean tires and wheels before applying on tires?
 
i love PERL, 1:1 on tires and trim though you can use it full strength...

I am actually moving in the other direction. Tuff Shine Clear Coat beats out PERL on tires very easily.

TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat, tuf shine tire dressing, permanent tire shine, permanent tire sealant

I looked into this but it sounds like a lot of work and elbow grease prior to applying this product.

Like removing every gram of foreign matter deposited on your tires.

I would do all that if this thing lasts 2 years but no..it says it will last just a couple of months.
 
•I like products like Optimum
Opti-Bond (OOB) for tires.
-There is absolutely no chance
that OOB will ever stain the
vehicle's paint...either fore or
aft...of the tire/wheel assemblies.


•For the exterior's trim:
-Solution Finish (SF).
-Once SF has totally cured...top it
off with Ultima's Paint Guard Plus.

Sounds like 3 different products instead of one, which the OP wanted.

So buy 3 products instead of one?

What about a single product that can address the exterior trim and tires? Like TTGP?

And why apply solution finish and then top it off with paint guard plus? Don't they have the TTGP product just for exterior plastic and tires?

In addition, applying all these products sound like lot of work and time. Pretty sure I am looking for the one product that will cover both tires and exterior trim and be done quick instead of 3 or 4 products and waiting for them to cure and what not. Not to be left out...washing all the pads afterwards.

I see.

OK...
I won't waste my time trying to explain
all the reasons (both conjectural and
empirical) behind my previous product
suggestions...

So...I'm going to make it real easy for you:
Optimum Opti-Bond for tires and trim.



Next.

How about one product for the tires, a coating, because posiblely none of the non coating ones can live up to your requirements. Then clean your trim well and maintain it with a non trim staining wax or sealant if the vehicle is new and the trim is in good condition.

If the trim is neglected, then like said above; clean, solution finish, and protect that if you want periodically.

Edit: Having coated tires makes maintaining them very easy. Once with the fuss of doing them, which isn't all that bad, and no weekly messing with tire dressings. I often just rinseless wash them with my wheels. I also dislike using most all tire shine products, but also dislike brown tires.
