This works great. The color is lasting very nicely. It is holding up well .. its only been three days, but the mileage that has been put on the tires is well over 250 (lots of running around) and with the heat and what not, I am pleased. So thumbs up to this.



Application - Squirted an Eagle One Swipe with Vinylex/gently went around the tire a few revolutions - came back later , buffed out.



Thumbs up and a reason to post I guess. PassatPunk.

I agree Vinylex looks good on tires.

So far, mileage (or washing for that matter) doesn`t seem to effect the Vinylex. Rain definitely does. Been thinking about either duilluting the Vyn. for interior apps or going with 303 for less shine. A very good product and cheap at the 3 liter size.

the most durable product out there is zaino Z16 tire dressing, low gloss, no mess, and lasts and lasts

DK- Like the gloss on the tires, but it was your interior pics that sold me on the 303/matte finish.

eom. Zaino Z10 has a great finish too, but it doesn`t work well on the bimmer`s materials.

I love my vinylex, works well on tires, and the pepole i detail cars for like that mild shine in their interiors, not as shiny as Armour All they use but attracts a heck of a lot less dust. The 3L deal at TOL is a bargain, thats where I got mine.

Brad, Detailking is not a real fan of the Zaino tire polish on his tires. He likes much more of a shine. I believe he likes the 2001 gel.



Arcticwhite and I are also big fans of the Zaino tire polish on tires. I also enjoy to use the 303. It doesn`t last as long, but sometimes I really like that deep and dark black finish that it leaves. Real nice.

is it spray formula? or.. a gel of sorts?



How do you guys apply it?



I like deep dark black looking tires; and really black trim on a car. Really compliments any color nicely. Especially with the Silver and Red VWs outside. The deep black trim/tires really accent the paint. I like the look of the Zaino that Brad showed on his Jag. I assume it can be used all around on the exterior trim.



Thanks. Zaino available from kleanride or TOL?

I thinks its a liquid in a squirt bottle. I head o people butting it on foam pads, tire swipes, and socks. It is available from Sal located in NJ. http://www.zainobros.com (`http://www.zainobros.com`)

Z-16 is a bottle without a spray nozzle. It is very thin in consistancy. I like to screw on a spray nozzle, and spray it onto a Tire Swipe... then spread it on the tire.

Picked up some today from my local distributor. I ma impressed. I haven`t used it on the tires but tried it on the trim rubber and it works great. I haven`t had the chance to wash the truck and clean the tires yet but I think I am sold. Plus the distributor is 5 minutes away. Closer than Pep Boys. 2 coats seemed to make it real glossy. I dont think I would want anything more glossy. I told the guy about us so he may show up here. Seemed real nice and had his own detail shop that only used zaino prods.
