I FINALLY got to clean my car today. 9 days and no washing was killing me...so were final exams, projects, and assignments, but anyways...

Washed with QEW and dried with a WW MF. I used Z16 on them 9 days ago and they still looked black, but with no shine. I used the supplied applicator and started working a little bit of gel in to the tire by applying to the applicator first. A little goes a long way if you work it in well. This is the key with gels becauase if you "shlack" it on there you're in for SLING CITY!

I waited 10 minutes after the initial application and went over any light streaking it had. The look for me was a very low sheen. It was a touch more matte than AA. I describe the look as "classy". Something I'd like on my customer's cars since it doesn't make the tires the focal point.

I let it dry for 1 hour and hit the corners. I was goin along pretty quick and when I got back, no slinging whatsoever.

Recap: A little goes a long way with this light scented gel. Leaves a very low sheen that doesn't sling.


Applied to both tires and rims. That's my pup Buckley :D

Nice review Sean...and cute dog!

I applied the Wolfgang Friday and thought I had some slinging when I looked on Sunday, but since I drove through rain I can't say for certain. It came up slightly satin on my tires, but that may be due to thicker application and/or the tires. All in all I really like the look. I may finally try the Z16 Lee gave me this weekend.
 
I want to share some detailing knowledge to add to this review.

"Only the excess tire dressing will ever sling off of the tire. If you remove the excess tire dressing before you drive and make sure to buff the tire dry and you will never have sling, no matter what tire dressing that you use."
 
Todd: Z16 is some good stuff as well...little higher gloss though.

Antonio: I agree. I made it a point to fully massage the gel in to insure "0" slinging.
 
I too like the look, And I think Sean hit the key point is that is has to be worked into the rubber.
I like the rich black look it gave.
I let it sit an hour and had no sling problem. Durability is to be seen

P.S. how old is Buckley, he looks cute
 
looks great :bigups
Cheers Sean, thanks for taking the time to share with us. Appreciate it :)
