    el naturale tire dressing

    I want a tire dressing that`s very flat with no sheen at all. Ideally I`d like it to leave the tire just looking like very fresh rubber. Problem is, everything the local car store carries gives a gloss.

    Is there a tire dressing that`s specifically known to give the look I`m wanting? I`ll avoid any shipping charges so hopefully on Amazon.

    Thanks.

    Last year watched an Esoteric video on Jescar tire and trim and it was a nice clean look. I bought a bottle and like it. Also a little seems to go a long way. Also talked to a very knowledgable member here - Budget - and he said it was a nice product. He is right

    Poorboys Bold-n-Bright will give you that look. In fact, depending upon how it is applied/removed it will deliver a gloss or a flat surface. If it`s too much shine, you just dumb it down with a rag.

    Hyperdressing diluted would do it. Also, Duragloss #253 gives a natural look.

    TurlteWax Graphene Acrylic tire coating and CarPro Perl diluted 1:1 will give you look you are looking for. Clean darkened satin tire.

    Good call on the 253. That’s exactly what will probably work best for op. It just makes tires look new not blingy.

    I always found 253 to be quite shiny and "blingy".

    Re: el naturale tire dressing

    I`m surprised what some people define as flat or natural look...lol
    Many of the products listed I find to be shiny, or greasy looking.

    I think it all depends on the tire. I was surprised at the Perl recommendations, man even at 3:1 that stuff is blingy for me. Hyperdressing too.

    Re: el naturale tire dressing

    Well, Ron Swanson you asked a similar question about tire dressings/gel I had asked some time ago. Reference:
    Suggestions for Matte-Finish Tire Shine Products for Show Vehicles
    I ended up going with Optimum Polymer Technology`s Opti-Bond Tire Gel based on Autopian All-Star Rasky1`s use in his detailing business and TroyScherer suggestion in the above thread.
    It takes about a 12 hours to "calm down" and loose that initial "sheen" that may appear "too blingly", but I use it strait up.
    I think it can be diluted with water and applied with an air brush spray compressors. I apply mine with Eagle One Foam Tire Applicators. I am not too keen on the Eagle One applicator as the "new" foam composition is very soft and wears/falls apart quite fast and the "new" blue backing pad and the adhesive used to attach the foam to it has come apart or let go on more than one applicator. Not sure if it`s the chemicals in OPT Opt-Bond that "attack" that adhesive and are not compatible OR if it`s just a poor adhesive.
