I am looking for a new water based tire dressing.

**Redcar GUY** · 12-17-2002, 01:19 PM

I hate dressings that are thick like oil and sticky. I am looking for a new one that I can use on customer cars. I have been looking at some of the Car bright line that is Here I see that there is only a few that dont have silicones. Any tips with any of them? I need one that drys fast, and has a med shine. I would like to try some of the car bright stuff because I have a dis close. I may also try some of the Pro stuff, problem there is I dont have a Dis. so I have to order it. Any tips?

PS I love Z16 but I cant use it on all my customer cars.. Just costs to much, wish I could

Try Eagle One protectant lotion, it`s pretty good and cheap. K-Mart typically has it. It was Eagle One`s replacement product for the Concours dressing, one of my all time favs. :up

Intel knows about the Pro stuff, he should be able to help in that area.

THX SRL! I like EO stuff already

I also see that Intels fav Glosso is on sale at pro`s site for $17.96 a gallon:nixweiss

I use the EO Lotion on my customer cars. Goes on easy, dries fast to a matte/low gloss finish. I didn`t like it at first because I thought it was too runny, but that aspect actually makes it easier to apply. The only reason I don`t use it on my own car is that it doesn`t seem to last as long, and my car is a daily driver that sees lots of rain.

Try Stoner`s Trim Shine. This is water based dressing. I dilute it for a satin finish for interior use.

Turtle wax tire gel was my favorite.........if you can still find it....

Buffing after application results in a lower gloss shine.......

Glosso is awesome for interiors. Dries 100%

For tires you`ll want S-97 Wipe-On Gloss. It is thicker and made for exterior rubber.

Paul, I use Meguiar`s Endurance. Not the high gloss, but the regular stuff. Takes a bit longer to "cure" as such. Rub on, let sit for 10 minutes or so, and then buff dry, and I get a low/medium gloss shine that does not wear out for about 3 weeks, unless we get torrential downpours like we have this week, then nothing works.

I have extensively tested the carbrite line of dressings and have found (surprisingly) that "special protect all" dressing works best when applied properly. It is also cheaper than "WOW" qand has a nice satin finish.

What about its look and durability?

I`ve thought about getting some of that to try.

You use it on tires? What is your method of application?

How long does it last w/o rain and if it rains?

When driving does it streak on the tires if they hit a puddle or moisture runs down the rubber?

Does it leave any browning on the tires?

How much do you pay for shipping on something like that?
