Been looking for a new tire protectant and like the reviews on UTTP. I notice its a new formula from the original and most reviews I have seen are from the original formula. I like the fact that I can use it on black plastic trim. Hows the longevity and durability on the new formula? Any tips or tricks with UTTP would be nice also. Thanks!!!
 
I should have asked if there is a better option out there maybe? I know tufshine is nice but being able to do trim also is a bonus for me.
 
I am guessing nobody uses ultima tire and trim protection? Seems odd with such good reviews.
 
Thank you very much! You just saved me some $$$. That was the question I asked when I started the thread a week ago, and got no response after 200 views... I also asked if nobody uses uttg, what would be their best choice for a product that could replace uttg? I understand I am a new member and members dont want to give up their "go to" product also. I just like to not waste $$ when I detail my own vehicles. Thanks again @Rsurfer
 
I used it last 2 years ago it was expensive and attracted dust but wasn’t as bad as a straight silicone dressing but still did. I’ve used ceramic coating and acrylic tire coating on trim with better results. If I’m not Coating I use Perl it easy to put on hit it once a month and its a nice shine with 1-3 weeks durablity.

Thanks for the info. What is the acrylic tire coating you mentioned? I might just have to look into a coating, if I can use it on trim and tires. Looked up the perl and it says up to 3 months protection.

Perl is a water based dressing and like Mgavin said, the durability is 1-3 weeks. Up to 3 months is stretching it somewhat.

Wolfgang's WETS is a great trim sealant. If your trim is old and grimy, use Mother's trim cleaner before applying WETS.

As far as tires go..my go to coating is Tuff Shine, but McKees tire coating is getting some good reviews.

WETS is great.

And so is McKee's plastic trim restore.

I have both, have tested them side by side, and I would swear they are the same product in different bottles.
 
Renew protect gloz if you purchase and leave review 50 percent off it like liquid plastic apex detail did a recent review on it youtube it’s good stuff plus price point with half off cannot be best
 
I love Perl but ima winter with rain or snow... 2 weeks. Optimum tirecoat has been very popular lately and priced well. I use Tac systems tirecoat but only get a month with 2-3 coats. I think Mckees is my go to next

Yes sir...I reapplied to my wife’s tires yesterday and they look great, I don’t have any pics of them right now but I can post later tonight. I had it on my car but decided to try Opt tire coating, which is a huge undertaking to say the least...aka have to strip two tires and reapply!

I applied it 4-6 weeks ago, still was going strong on the tires and black trim on her X3. I only reapplied it since I was doing a cosmetic (not correction) detail otherwise if it was just a routine wash I would not have touched them. I also apply it to the cowling just under the windshield wipers on my car and hers as well as some cosmetic components under hood, looks fabulous and cant say enough good things about it, I'm a huge fan of Blackfire and Pinnacle products.
 
The black fire is only 8oz, but they say a little goes a long ways. Might have to try this.
