I want to try both of these products - Wolfgang Wheel Cleaner, and Black Diamond tire gel. Anyone tried 'em? Different form Pinnacle and DP? Smell?:confused:
Thanks in advance.
 
I seen a pic of the tire gel on another forum. From what i can see from the pics it looked to be a nice product. others who posted and used the WG tire gel had positve replys also..
 
I liked them, but found them similar enough to Pinnacle that I went back. I really love the Pinnacle Onyx Gel . I am just getting to use the DP versions, and found the cleaner needs a little more scrubbing. The protectant looks very glossy on the wifes new truck.
 
How is durability? I have Megs Insane Tire Shine spray right now. I was thinking about Meg's Engurance High Gloss Gel as I keep reading that it will last for a couple weeks and doesn't attract a lot of dirt/dust etc. But then I read a few other comments saying the wheel ended up caked with dust. but could be b/c they didn't let it dry all the way.

I like the Insane Shine, but don't really care for the aerosol spraying.

Surfer you are right about the aerosol spray, seems to get more on the vehicle, ground and where ever else but not the tires. Like Pinnacle Gel, lasts a long time!

Yeh, learned that lesson. Finished up the truck in the garage, some of the spray musta gotten on the floor b/c it's slippery now lol. My dogs a lunatic and was running around like crazy the other day, flew into the garage and couldn't stop, heard a "THUMP" :D . I almost slipped a few times as well lol.

The Insane Shine works good, but kinda hard to get an eeven coating w/o holding the can all the way around at the same angle and distance from the tire. You guys don't carry Meg's High Gloss Endurance Gel right (think you have just the matte finish)?

If you want a matte surface look to 303 protectant or Poorboys Natural Look dressing. Not much in gels that are not bold and bright.

No we carry both.
 
I bought some High Endurance Gel to try it out. I used it on my car like a day before I was to leave to come back home. The look is nice when applied, but I drove through two rainstorms and when I got home there was nothing left on the tires. They look clean, but just naked.

That's surprising. I use the Megs Endurance High Gloss Gel and it seems to stay on forever. In fact it's been raining here quite a bit the last two months. I didn't drive my car for a couple of days and when I went to take it out I noticed one of the wheels was partially submerged in a deep puddle. I pulled the car out and looked at the tire and it was still very glossy after soaking for two days.

I have used Wolfgang Black Tire Gel for a couple of months now. It leaves a nice natural semigloss new tire finish. I hate products that make the tires to shiney. The product stays on the tires and does not get on your car like a lot of other tire products.

I use the Wolfgang cleaner and tire gel, love them both, best I've ever used, the gel is just right, it makes the tire jet black but it doesn't look gooey or slicked. I have never tried pinnacle.
 
Heres WG BDTG

It has already faced and over came one rain storm (not sure how hard it rained or how long as I woke up to a wet everything) and it still looks exactly the same. After the first application it sat for an hour and then I left for work. Zero sling and dry to the touch I'm loving it, it's replacing BnB for me.
 
Looks good Wytstang! Keep us posted on how well it holds up. I've been using the DP tire gel and sometimes the Armor all. From your post it looks like Wolfgang deserves a try.

WG products are all superior quality, you really cannot go wrong with them.
 
Quick little update since applied (one did 1 coat instead of 2 I said I was going to do) WG BDTG has survived 3 rain storms. The first 2 storms I have no clue as to how hard or long they lasted, as the 1 first storm hit during the early morning but the ground was saturated at about 10 a.m when I strolled outside. 2nd storm hit while at work so I have no clue again as to how hard or long (ground again satureted at 11 pm). 3rd was a light shower (drizzle) maybe an hour and a half on and off. So here's what they look like 5 days later and 3 rain falls

There is a film of dirt that has made my tires home, but to be far BnB did the same after a couple of rain storms just not a much (more of a built up around letters instead of an even coat around the whole tire). Here's a picture of that film

I was going to give them a quick wash BUT we are supposed to get hammered with a pretty nice rain storm plus 50 something degree weather. Needless to say I'm not going to bother and I'm not leaving my apartment as I will be wrapped up in blankets with the heater on full blast lol.
