Here's another quick review and comparison on the following tire dressings:
Carpro PERL - PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant, vinyl and rubber dressing, interior protectant
Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel - Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel is a high gloss version of Meguiars Endurance Tire Protectant Gel.
Duragloss Tire & Rubber Mat Dressing #253 - Duragloss Tire & Rubber Mat Dressing (TMD) #253
Chemical Guys Extreme VRP Dressing - Chemical Guys Extreme VRP Dressing 16 oz
This is not an in-depth review, just some quick thoughts and observations.
The wheels and tires were cleaned after my last tire dressing comparison, click here if interested: https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/119213-tire-dressing-face-off-griots-black-satin-mckees-37-gloss-tire-gel-303-tire-balm.html
P&S Brake Buster Wheel Cleaner was used to clean the wheels.
McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator was used to clean the tires of the previous dressings. Each tire was cleaned 2 or 3 times until white foam was visible. All of the previous dressings cleaned off easily.
Wheels & tires were dried and ready for the new dressings.
First up is Carpro PERL diluted 1:1 (1 part PERL & 1 part water) - this is one of my go-to dressings.
Nice satin look.
Next up is Megs Endurance Tire Gel - This is my first time trying this dressing. I'm not a big fan of solvent based dressings but this seems to be a popular dressing. I recently had to throw away a brand new tire brush trying to clean some other tires with a build up of a solvent based dressing. I couldn't get my brush clean, it was all caked up with a messy goop. Hopefully this will clean up fairly easy. I'm sure this will last the longest since it's solvent-based instead of water-based.
I was expecting a super high glossy look so I used it sparingly and I was actually pleasantly surprised, not too glossy...not bad!
Next up is Duragloss 253 - this is my first time using this dressing, I've heard nothing but good things about it.
Spreads out very nicely and evenly and appears to dry quickly and has a nice satin look...I was impressed.
And last but not least is Chemical Guys VRP - I like the thick creamy texture, just a tad on the glossy side (hard to tell from the picture) but has a nice look.
Well that's it for now folks.
We got a break in the weather today but we're expecting more rain in the next several days, that's why I thought it would be a good opportunity to put some different dressings to the test.
Stay tuned for more updates.
