Let me know what you think!

[gdal]

Looking great, but I`m not a fan of really shiny tire dressing.



Have you ever tried duragloss 253?

[Tuck91]

Nice job!!!!

[zxgto06]

nice job! !!!!!!!!

[vtec92civic]

wow . . . . . looks super slick.



The before and afters speak wonders. I have never used amazing roll off but have heard about it. I might need to try some now LoL.



As for the tire dressing . . . . . that looks good too.



Nice work!

Have you ever tried duragloss 253?I personally have Hyper Dressing but i have mine diluted down a ton at 4:1



so at that ratio it doesn`t work super well on tires for the shiny look but i do use a tiny bit of HD and some black magic and the tires come out looking fabulous.

I don`t like shiny tires either. The client specifically asked for shiny tires, she said she wanted "bling bling wheels, just like when she bought it".



I also regularly use Hyperdressing diluted 4:1. It gives a really nice matte black finish when dry. It also dries very evenly which is nice. You don`t have to babysit your tires while your detailing the rest of the car.



I have not tried Duragloss. I will have to get a bottle.

Nice job!!!!




nice job! !!!!!!!!



Thank you!!!

[FastEddysDetail]

You did a fine job my friend!!







What was your method on the tires 1:1 with HD?

[gdal]

I wasn`t trying to bash you ... you do awesome work.



A lot of people like the bling from chrome rims and shinny tires. I kinda figured that it was a customer request.

This was the first time I tried doing shiny tires with Hyper Dressing. I diluted it 1:1. They came out really good. I just wiped it on and did nothing else. It dried nice and smooth.



I did have to deliver the car to the client about 20 minutes away. I am not sure if they were totally dry or not, but I did have some sling.



I would be interested to find out if anybody has used a product that I could get just for "really shiny" tires that won`t sling...... :nixweiss

No worries!!! Some people like shiny. Some don`t. I am also not a fan of shiny.



I felt no bashing :)



Thank you for the compliments on my work!

this has been my experience using at 1:1 as well, and it seemed to attract dust more. i use it at 3:1 and it works great for the wheel wells and engine :up . btw, nice job :)

I will try 3:1. That is why I love Hyper Dressing & their APC+. You can dilute it to suit your needs. Great products. Thanks for advice and the kudos!
