I'll start...



Bridgestone Potenza RE950 (from the Maxima)

NXT Tech Protectant I got about a week. Wolfgang Gel I would get about 10 days and still looking good. Of course I'd reapply every week at the most just because it looked a little better with fresh dressing. :)



Supergard LE300 (these are crap...from the Protege)

Wolfgang Gel gets me about 4-5 days without washing. I hate these tires. I haven't tried any other products on them yet.



Michelin Energy MXV4 (My neighbor's tires)

Wolfgang Gel gets over 2 weeks and still looking good. These tires hold dressing very well, even through multiple washes.



Goodyear Regatta2 (my Mom's tires)

Wolfgang Gel holds for about a week without washing.

BFGoodrich KDW2 on a 2004 PT Cruiser Turbo. 303 Protectant holds up very, very well between washes, which is usually every two weeks. The car is garaged and, well, it doesn't rain here (except for this past winter - record rainfall) for months at a time. I like the look of 303 on tires; very "clean" without being super shiny, doesn't sling, and it lasts.



Falken Ziex 512 on a 1999 Mazda Miata. Same as above, but this car gets washed every couple of months as it's just a weekend toy. The current application of 303 has been on for at least a month and is just now looking like it could use a boost.



Kelly Chargers on a 1992 Camaro RS. Uh, well, this thing sits outside (although it is coverd) and is only used in bad weather and Wednesdays when the city street sweeper comes by and I have to move it or get a ticket. Plus, my sprinklers would hit the tires on the passenger side every other day, so what's the point??? It's getting new paint in the next few weeks, so then it will be worthy of serious upkeep.

Pirelli P7, Meguiars Endurance; about 3 weeks, if the weather is good, and I don't wash the tires with something stronger than NXT Car Wash.

Goodyear Eagle LS on the PT- ~2 weeks with PB BnB(I like this stuff), ~1 week with AA Original, and ~1 week with EO WET Gel.



Goodyear Integrity on the Pilot- I don't like these tires much. Dressings only last about a week at most with any product(although this vehicle is outside 24/7).

Meg's Insane Shine on Goodyear RSA's. This stuff is very wet looking for the first couple of days then it tones down to a great look that lasts and doesn't sling. This photo is 5 weeks after application. Four washes and two days of heavy rain.

Kgb - Do you have the M500 summer tires, or the all-season version? Thoughts/opinions on them? I am considering them for the Protege when I get new wheels in the spring.

I have the M500 Summer Tires and will be getting a set of the M550 All Seasons for winter.

I had the stock tires on my Impreza for 3000 miles and switched them to the Avaon's. I could not be happier. I love the tires and is why I want to stick with Avon in the Winter as well. I always highly recommend them.
