Join Date: May 2005 Location: SW Ohio Posts: 263 | Tire Dressing Combo I have settled on the perfect mix of tire dressing for a medium shine and great durability.
I spray the EO foam tire applicator with a couple sprays of PoorBoys Bold n Bright then I lay a strip of Endurance Gel (non-glossy) down the length of the applicator, then apply it to the tire. The Bold n Bright is thin, so it makes the dressing apply smooth and evenly. The Endurance gives it durability. No sling, and the tires seem to stay pretty clean and don't attract much dirt.
If you happen to have the products sitting around you should give it a try.
I don't have any good pics of the results. I'll take some once the weather clears up. | |

Never could go beyond 2-3 weeks and if you drive in rain forget it. Meg #42 Rubber Treatment and the original Black Again by Rhino Industries in combo were the best from my heydays. Both products are no longer available. Nowadays I've used or use One Grand EVR, 3M's TD, Reflections, AA Original, Z-16, Z-16P. The most durable so far for my tires is Z-16 Pro then AA, then Z-16. | |

Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Brimfield Ma Posts: 1,450 | I have used the Duragloss TMD (Tire & Mat Dressing) and have great results from it...it lasts..and no browning..slinging...and not to glossy but enough to show it is there...extra coats may bring it to a real glossy look..but I prefer a semi gloss..not matte but some gloss...
They also have Duragloss NSD (Non Silicone Dressing) which is nice also...gives it the new tire shine...also good for interiors for a nice look ..not greasy looking but a new look...

The shine is better than just BnB alone, but not too glossy. The BnB seems to keep the Endurance thin enough that it won't "cake up" around the letters or sidewall tread. | |
