Hello all...I got a sample of a bulk solvent based tire and trim dressing that goes on WAY to glossy. Just wondering if it can be diluted down with water.
Thanks a bunch.

What is the brand/chemical?
I know some dressings (Hyperdressing) are intended to be diluted, but those are water-based. I`d image something solvent based would be a little different.
Car Brite "Brite Shine". Sorry, I can not post links yet.
If I like it I will be using it on the cars at a couple of used car lots I do work for. I currently use a water based dressing with a matte look (which I like), but the dealers like a higher gloss and longer lasting product since the cars can site on the lot for extended periods of time.
If you dilute it with the same solvent that the product uses, you can potentially apply less product to the tire because the ratio of volatile solvent to shiny stuff goes up.
cut it with mineral spirts it will also make stay on the tire without sling also try to put it on with a spong

Where did you get solvent based dressing? VOC laws suck!

Thinking the same thing. Would prolong use dry out the rubber?Quote:
