Adam`s SVRT vs The World!

[ihaveacamaro]

Ok obviously it`s not SVRT vs the world, just SVRT vs a slew of other popular tire dressings.

Adam`s SVRT vs Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Dressing vs CarPro PERL (1:1 dilution) vs Meguiars Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray



I decided to test this tire dressing against not only itself, but many others. The Pinnacle one and the CarPro PERL are very highly regarded on detailing sites, and the Megs Tire Spray is just one I got over the counter at Walmart.



So how does the Adam`s fare against itself and others? Well I will be testing this out in the next few weeks. Today, I did the application of all the tire dressings.



To clean the tires I used Adam`s APC at a 1:3 dilution.









Here`s how the clean but undressed tire looks:



The weird spots on the tires are products of the lighting. If you don`t believe me, a few pictures down I have another picture of the undressed tire without those spots.

So for the Adam`s vs itself, what I mean by that is testing layered coats of SVRT and seeing the difference in durability and look, if any. I am testing 1 coat, 2 coats, and 3 coats. I am using the included black applicator. These coats are being applied in 20 minute intervals. Final picture of this will be up tomorrow as the sun went down.

To apply each dressing I am using the below applicator. To apply the Adam`s I am using the applicator they gave with the product. In these tests, all products used are 1 LAYER. Not 3 or 2 like the first test. This is because most people will only ever apply 1 layer and not 3 layers like crazy people... aka me! :laugh:

Day 22 Update:



NOTE: Close-ups don`t tell the whole story. It may seem very matte close up, but all the tires look very close to the below picture, which I would categorize more as a satin finish (in between matte and glossy).
