Hey AGO members, PapaSmurf here and today I'm going to be reviewing Mothers Reflections Advanced Tire Care

About the Product
This tire treatment was designed for the concours. It hydrates your tires to create a deep, dark sheen that is never shiny, greasy, or slick. It makes your tires look showroom new, not shiny and oily looking. Mothers Advanced Tire Care rejuvenates older tires so they resist drying, fading, and wear providing a nice matte finish that is dry to the touch. New tires are maintained with regular use of this product. This product is also water based so a little goes a long way I found out.

The best part is that Mothers Tire Care lasts for weeks! It doesn’t sling off or evaporate within a few days. I was skeptical of this but after a 20 mile drive I re-checked and there was ZERO sling. I've found this to be a difficult trait of most tire dressings. Your tires will keep their show car perfect glow for long lasting protection against the elements.

Before applying you need to clean the wheels and tires with a quality product such as Mothers Wheel and Tire Cleaner to prep the surface to allow Mothers Reflections Advanced Tire Care to properly bond thus extending the life of the product

Final Thoughts
This product is AWESOME. I would say its a hidden gem that most people overlook. Mothers does not disappoint and stands behind there product line 100%. This is no different. It delivered everything it claimed. Best part is you can buy it in most stores saving you shipping costs. Average cost is about $9.99. I am thoroughly pleased with the matte finish it provides and the ZERO sling. Give it a shot you wont be let down :dblthumb2:.
 
Looks like good stuff. Weren't able to get that red mark off the tire? I've used mineral spirits with good results getting those marks off. I hate them.
 
Nice review. Looks like a nice product. I will have to give it a shot sometime.

I will. So far it has lasted me a week with some rain but it now needs another application. Without any rain im sure it would last 2 weeks.

It's a fantastic product. I've never been bothered by the red mark on the tire to be honest.

You should definitely try it
 
It is definitely one of my favorite tire dressings.
 
Awesome review Caleb! This is also one of my favorite tire dressings.

I have brand new Michellin tires, the last thing I want is to have a product dry-rot or crack them. Since this product is water based, I dont have to worry about that. I will always have that brand new tire look, without that greasy/slimey look other products give.

I find that it lasts a bit longer than some water based tire dressings that I've used. Granted, water based dressings dont last as long as others, but I rather re-apply every week or so than to ruin my tires.

Tire dressings with silicones don't always ruin tires. The cheap, nasty looking, extremely glossy dressings that use cheap silicones can. (Armor all comes to mind)

I remember hearing someone on here say this. I believe he is a chemist.
 
I like the look of this, kinda like a store bought version of optibond gel, looks good and is reasonable
 
Thanks for sharing your experience Aaron and to everyone else I definitely recommend that you don't overlook this product.
 
Great review. Looks to be a unsung hero and seldom mentioned.
