The product stays on the tire for quite a long time. the high gloss shine will only last for a few days. this is dependent upon how much dust is collected on the tires while driving. I have also never had any problems with the tires browning out.

I have a few cars on weekly service and only apply the opti-bond every couple of weeks. I usualy clean the tires with the no rinse and a soft brush. The tires have a nice deep black look to them again.

As far as dilution goes For the wagner i use one third water to two thirds Opti-Bond.
If you use a compressor and a paint spray gun You can go one quarter water three quarters opti bond. You achualy use less with a compressor and the painters gun. It really atomizes the product well giving you a little more even coverage.

If you purchase some just play around with the dilution a little. Every one has their own preference on how things should look and work.
Awesome! I have a compressor that I use. Do you have any sprayer recomendations? Also, how do you keep it from spilling inbetween uses? I hate to keep asking questions, but I like to do things right, and it seems like you have toyed around with this. Thanks a lot my friend!
