Its been one week since I detailed my parents corolla. It went through a light shower and a pouring shower in that one week. It was driven once (wednesday) for the whole day, then it rained and was driven home.
Before cleaned with Ef Hi-Intensity 
After application of Tire gel

Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: Staten Island, NY Posts: 2,402 | I did not buff the Tw tire gel, It was let to dry on the tire for about 4 days before being driven. NO sling! Just a nice dressed tire.
One week later.  
Very nice healthy glow. Like an application of Lexol Vinylex. I think by next week it'll look like 303.
The car is driven once a week. Its holding up really well. A great product. NO dust attraction. Its dry to the touch. Not greasy.
I am happy with this TW product,
Jason

PS Gave up trying to find my bottle of Klasse SG, just freaking bought a bottle last month. Then this water restriction comes form the Mayor and the Earth! Give me the rain for a week, re-fill the resevoirs (sp?), make NYC Autopian's happy!

Join Date: Jan 2002 Posts: 412 | I couldn't believe my eyes today, I went to a local AutoZone (Memphis, TN) and there it was TW 2001 Tire Gel. I picked up a bottle ($4.99) and some A2Z and left happy only to realise later it was stupid not to buy another one (last on the shelf). They still have Rain-X wheel protectant and probably other discontinued stuff. Well, it is open tomorrow and only couple miles away... | |

Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Fargo, ND Posts: 93 | Back when DK was first mentioning this stuff I ran out and got some. It is a very good X-Mart type product. I found a few bottles on clearance at Wal-Mart last fall and bought them all. I live in an area where almost all the stores rid themselves of exterior car care products for the winter so I can get really great deals.
This stuff beats the daylights out of the Meg gel tire products. And can get the Ghetto shine going on or buff down to satin black.
This stuff can be hard to find though.

I was in Michigan a week ago and bought some. Tried it and it's been through two rainy days. Tires look great (not too glossy) and I really like the way it stands up to the weather.
I can see this becoming a favorite as long as it's still available. Now I want to get out and find some more. Really a good product and easy to use. | |
