hey guys,



I'm starting to get tired of the mess with spray on foam tire dressings / shine.



but i feel its my "cheapest" option and it's also OTC.....



I would like to know if there is a dressing available that i can apply with an applicator that will not dirty / grease up the white lettering on my truck tires....



thanks in advance !!!:2thumbs:
 
my tires have raised lettering bfg all terrain . i use bleechwhite to clean them . and then i use optimum dressing . but i spray it on . after a few minutes i wipe with a microfiber towel . and no problem . white lettering is still white. stay away from those slimy silicone dressings .
 
I use brown royal on both my rims and tires, and then spray on Zaino tire gloss if it has letters, and if not I wipe it on with a applicator. I find the best way to get dressing not to sling is to clean the tires really well before hand.

I also clean white letter tires as well as white walls with bleach white, and then I will apply Super Blue Dressing to the tires with a foam applicator pad. The letters or white walls remain nice and white.

I'm in exactly the same boat. The Uniroyal Laredos that came with my used Honda Pilot give it a somewhat different look, but they oxidize brown pretty quickly and the white letters get pretty grungy from the Meguiars Hot Shine Gel that I'm using now (plus the gel slings onto the paint a little bit).



I read about this product called Tuf Shine (see attached link) and am intent on trying it. If you beat me to it, be sure to post or send me a PM to let me know how it worked for you.

sounds good,

i may look into the opt tire dressing and / or the super blue...





i know not everyone has white letters but, may have had experience with them at some point.

(this is a repeat of a reply that I posted yesterday, but I think that it might have been caught in some moderator's filter because I dared to post a link...)



I'm in a similar position, but have read good things about a product called Tuf Shine both here and on a the Acura forum (Acurazine, or something like that..you'll have to search for it since they filtered my post...). Product is two step, in that you clean off all of the silicone that you've layered on thus far, then coat with some pretty durable looking shiny stuff. Results were impressive and reputedly long lived. I'm intent on trying it to replace the Megs Hot Shine Gel that I'm using now. Please be sure to post your results if you beat me to it!
 
I have to recommend Tuf Shine for cleaning and then protecting. Search for Tuf shine on autopia and I've done some reviews on the stuff. I use it on a limo with huge white walls, really cuts down on the yellowing.



Cheers,

GREG
