Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome!

Nice review. I like the finish on the tire coating

Thank you. I agree. I would like a bit more gloss but definitely not complaining.

Following the directions I cleaned the tires using the McKee's 37 tire and rubber rejuvenator and a stiff bristle brush.

I am a DP Tire Coating user and seeing how the McKee's 37 Tire Coating is similar I figured I would pass on some tips that should help future users. Prior to using the dedicated tire cleaner, I use another tire cleaner to do the heavy lifting. I then come back with a couple rounds of the dedicated tire cleaner. This will save product for those that have bigger tires.

Next I applied the coating using a soft bristle brush.



Immediately after applying.

A brush is the way to go for application. It gives a more even look and requires less product than using a foam applicator. I use the carrand tire brush which works great.

I waited 30min and then applied a second coat and I was left a nice matte shine.

Mike Phillips posted a nice tip in a thread of his. If I find the link I will post it. But I believe it was one of his production detailing write ups. The tip is to use air to dry to speed up the drying and curing process. I have a master blaster sidekick and it's a great tool to use to speed up the drying time. It also spreads the coating around into those nook and crannies.

Glad the tire coating was kept around in the line. It's a great product.

Edit: Added the link to Mike Phillips' post.

Awesome input Guz. I would normally do the same thing for cleaning the tires. Sense these don't ever get bad the McKee's did the trick.
