Input on Tire Dressing

**Saleenfan** · 02-08-2007, 12:42 PM

Whats the "best" tire dressing, not necessarily the most shine but the best overall look vs durablilty.

O and on a side note what is a LSP

**BobD** · 02-08-2007, 12:49 PM

Depends on what look you are going for. Glossy or Matte?

LSP is Last Step Product which means a wax or sealer.

For all acronyms, you can look here: http://autopia.org/forum/faq.php?faq...t_decoder_ring

As far as you the best tire dressing ... that is very subjective. As somebody else on this forum once put it that`s like asking "what`s the best flavor of ice-cream?".

Use the search function, but ultimately I would recommend trying them yourself until you find what you like best.

Personally, I like PB`s Bold N Bright due to it`s ease of use. Not very durable though.

For me, from what I`ve tried, I`d have to say it`s Armor All Low Gloss. It`s really cheap, doesn`t look bad and lasts as long as I need it to. I usually wash my car about once (twice?) a week so durability isn`t a big thing.

That being said I`d like to try some Adam`s VRT.

For me it is Meguiar`s Hot Shine spray. Used this since it came out. Never lets you down. Spray and walk away.

Thanks for the link! I needed one like that I keep on getting meguires products all confused :hairpull

But as for the tire dressing I seem to remeber seeing a product (cant recall the name) where if you apply it once its mate, twice nice shene, three times its a gloss finish.

But personally I like a nice shine but not really a high gloss.

i use armor all tire foam (just spray let it sit for about 5-10 minutes and then spread it around evenly), and then add a coat of fx tire shine on top... :2thumbs:

We have been using Chemical Guys Extreme V.R.P. Dressing with good results. 1 coat leaves a very slight gloss/matte look. A second app yields a very nice "wet/glossy" look while being dry to the touch.

I recommend 303 and Four star Bazooka often. The Bazooka is a glossy look though.

I got a Megs kit for xmas from my fiancee, and that was included, so far I love it! It seems pretty durable, decent shine without being too shiny. Application was so easy too.

It`s the aerosol one right?

**twitch** · 02-08-2007, 03:42 PM

I find the aerosol applications to be the easiest yet. Regardless of how careful I am with a gel I always get some on the outer edge treads of the tire and it ends up on the inner part of the wheel well. It`s not so bad that it gets on the body panels but I still don`t like that.

I like the NXT tire shine.

**dietoremain** · 02-08-2007, 04:25 PM

Meg`s All Season Dressing is durable and has a nice gloss. The hot shine tire spray is amazin but it doesnt last long. And HyperDressing is so versatile as is the ASD.

Personally, I`ve always liked Meguiar`s Endurance Tire Gel (the original version - not the newer High Gloss version) for my own car and Stoner`s More Shine Less Time For Tires (aerosol - very fast application) when I need to get a car done quickly.
