got to use the tire and trim sealant when I go it a few days ago. wanted to give it a couple of days. been looking for a
quality tire dressing that will last longer thea what I have tried so far. same thing with the trim as I am pretty busy these days and would like a little more durability. also living in the Northeast does not help in the winter.
1. How easy/difficult is RDF Tire & Trim Sealant Gel to apply?
did my mirrors and trim on my bumper using ONR and drying with a WW. applied with tire swipe and was impressed with how easy the gel formula applied. cleaned my tires with PB apc and tire brush ( usually use soap and water but wanted make sure the surface was pristine) rinsed with hose then towel dried with mf. coverage was very good. the gel is thinner than I expected and a little goes a long way. used a separate swipe for the tires, same result easy to apply and great coverage. waited 15 minutes then buffed all surfaces off with a mf. did 1 coat on the tim and bumper and 2 coats on the tires before buffing.
2. How do your tires/trim look with RDF Tire & Trim Sealant Gel compared to you favorite product?
I noticed an immediate color change of the surface of the trim and the tires. they took on a darker richer natural color right off the start. I currently use PB BnB on my tires and
Sonus trim and Motor kote on the trim. the tires were a little shiny at first but once you buff them with the mf, they take on a nice dark satin finish. this is the best my trim and tires have looked since I have bought it. not sure why, maybe the clarity and thickness ? my tires and trim have taken on a new look as you can see and appreciate the texture of them.
2 weeks in and still happy with the looks and protection of the product. looks like the day I put it on .
3. Color and richness of tires/trim after each wash. How much did the color/richness fade?
have washed my truck twice in the 2 weeks the sealant was on the tires and trim. we have also had around 3 inches of rain. the trim and tires look the same. cool to see the stuff beading like crazy.
4. If car is exposed to the elements, how many weeks did Tire & Trim Sealant last (keep trim looking good)?
so far only a few days in but with the rain we have I feel that the product has been subjected to a lot more of the elements than the hours would indicate.have driven a lot through puddles and on the highway.the trim and tires look exactly the same as before. wanted to get my thoughts posted as I am sure people are interested in the original findings. loved the beading after heavy rain. will add to this review from time to time
I am at 2 weeks and nothing has changed
5. What would you like to see changed to make RDF Tire & Trim Sealant Gel better?
to be honest, no joke, I would not change anything at this point. been very pleased with the results so far . trying to be as objective as I can and not sound too positive here, hope that is how it sounds. here are a few pics of the goods after some very heavy rain. this product has been a joy to work with and I have never used anything like it. on to the pics, hope they do the product justice. at least for the beading !
