Unfortunately i couldn't remove the rims or use water to wash them so i cleaned them as much as possible with AG SRP and sealed them with Poorboys pink wheel sealant..

Also i applied a coat of NXT 2.0

Why does it look like theres tire dressing on the entire tire? You did the treads too? :confused:

yes i did them..Basically i spayed foam APC to clean them and spray tire dressing to dress them..Is that wrong??
 
I've seen it done at car shows. Some folks like the look - others...like me...don't care for it - but I wouldn't necessarily say it's wrong. At least on a car....it's an absolute no-no on motorcylces, obviously.



What an incredible car - I can't stop staring at those wheels and the stompers behind them!

I wish i could remove them and clean them normally : (
 
Yeah the dressing on the tread may make them slick. I guess if someone put dressing on my tires I'd probably just burnout intentionally to get it all off. Would be a nasty surprise though if it was still on the surface and the driver hit a wet turn in the road.

Sticky tires + something that makes the tires have very little grip = bad (especially on a wet road)



Do yourself a big favor and stick with dressing only the sidewalls.

It is in a dealership showroom, as soon as they pull it onto the lot the dressing will be rubbed off. Stop telling him its wrong, because it isnt.

As an autocrosser, I'd fly into a rage if someone put dressing on my tread surface. It penetrates the rubber to a degree. I don't think it comes off too quickly.



In racing circles, it's an unwise practice.



...and since I'm such a dummy:



Here's a warning from a motorcycle site:



Cleaning Tires & Wheels



WARNING: Applying any rubber dressing or protectant to the tread surface of your tire may result in a severe accident. If you coat the whole tire, wipe off the excess dressing and allow the tire to dry before riding.



Armor all on the treads:

my.IS - Lexus IS Forum - Crashed my Baby



Armor All telling you not to use their product on treads:

Armor All® - Product Detail



Attention: Do not freeze. Store at room temperature. Use only on sidewalls, not treads. Avoid putting product on treads, brakes or floors. Do not use on cycle tires.



I'll assume this goes for most tire dressings (and no, I don't use Armor All as a tire dressing)
 
OK guys, i would not do this again...But don't worry about the grip...It will not get out of the showroom soon,there is so much dirt and dust on the roads that it will be covered just in seconds and if there is no rain=no wet roads.....

But because you have a point about that(a correct one) i will not do it again....

Not to mention there will most likely be brown rubber marks on the showroom floor as soon as it gets pulled from where's it's at. I always used water-based dressing or no dressing at all on showroom vehicles. Plus, if someone rubs up against the dressed tire with their clothes, plan on some major complaints. Especially with these types of clients.

No problem :2thumbs:

I got it as advise so don't worry...

I am here to learn,and i learn a lot of things until now, so keep advising me.

I have no problem with the negative comments.Without them i couldn't be better..

So thank you for the advise.....:2thumbs:
 
Pampos, from the looks of the pics of the tires it looks like maybe there is an excessive amount of dressing on the tires as well. Might be a good idea to reduce the amount used next time or at least buff off the excess of what you normally use because it looks to me like that is a slingfest just waiting to happen.
