I probably should have gone with priority shipping but well, i didnt.



Normally it takes 2-3 days for CMA to get an order to me. If it ships wed it might make it fri.

Yeah me too, thats what I have been using (turtle wax tire gel).



One tip that CMA said to do is to keep the applicator in a zip lock bag to keep it from drying out so you do not use as much material. I am now doing that. Different applicator for each product.

I just put two coats per tire of Eimann Fabrik Black Sapphire Tire Gel on the wife`s Impala last night and this is what see so far compared to Turtle Wax Tire Gel:





1- Goes on easier or about the same as.

2- Shines a hell of lot more.

3- Its seems to soak in better too.

4- You need to use as much.



At lunch I will check the to see if it spatter on the ride in and after an over night cure and I will try to post some pics too.



I want to see what happens if you wipe it down to tone down the shine.



I will post more info as I get it.

2- Shines a hell of lot more. :confused:



Is the shine greater than that in the DK pic above? I think his tires look great, but I certainly wouldn`t want any more shine than that. I guess we`ll see how the buffing works. Thanks for the report.

Does it dry non greasy? Does buffing reduce the shine? Keep us posted!



BTW that pic was taken after applying TW tire gel. It`s about as shiny as it gets. After buffing, it looks kind of like this, and continues this look rainstorm after rainstorm, wash after wash............

I know the pics aren`t great but thats the best I can with a 4 year old camera and me not being very good.



Eimann Fabrik Black Sapphire Tire Gel on the wife`s Impala compared to Turtle Wax Tire Gel the day after:



1- The shine tone its self down over night, it seem to soak in.

2- There was alittle sling with the two coat and no wipe application.

3- You need to wipe because there is runs from the letters.

4- They look pretty good after a light wipe but seems to need another coat for more of an even coverage. Maybe its the tires?

5- As of now they look about the same as TW.

6- I think you will use less of the Eimann Fabrik Black Sapphire Tire Gel to get the results than of Turtle Wax Tire Gel.

7- As of right now, not dry to the touch.



8- We will have to wait and see how it holds up???????



9- Its cheaper. At least when its on sale.



I hope this helps I am not very good at this type of stuff but I want to help when I can sense you guys have help me soooooo much already. :xyxthumbs

I just cleaned my tires and tried this stuff out. It`s pretty thick going on. I ended up putting 2 coats on cos it seems to go on a little uneven around the letters. It`s a little too shiny for me right now. I`ll have to go out later tonight and buff the wheels down a little bit to see how it turns out. My father borrowed my digital camera so i`ll try to get some pictures posted later on tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips. I think I will stay with Vinylex and 303 for that task. :D
