For this review, I’m going to share my experience using DP's excellent Tire Coating Kit:
From Autopia's DP Tire Coating Kit product page:
The kit comes with:
32 oz. DP Tire Cleaner & Restorer
4 oz. DP Tire Coating
Low Profile Tire Brush
Flex Foam Tire Dressing Applicator
Carrand Brush & Shine Tire Dressing Applicator
1 Pair of Black XL Nitrile Gloves
Microfiber All Purpose & Wheel Detailing Towel, 2 Pack
DP Car Care Handbook
Now for my thoughts!
DP Tire Cleaner & Restorer:
Although DP Tire Cleaner was specifically formulated as a pre-cleaner for DP Tire Coat, I found it works extremely well at cleaning/ preparing tires for any tire dressing. Cleaning a set of 4 tires take only a few ounces of product, so I can easily see a single 32oz bottle lasting a very long time.

DP Tire Coating
Overall I like DP Tire Coating very much. It’s quickly replacing my traditional tire dressings because it last far longer, requires less re-application maintenance, dries to the touch and doesn’t attract dirt and debris like some tire dresses will. One generous coat gave me just the right combination of added depth and gloss with zero sling.

Low Profile Tire Brush
If you have low profile tires this style of stiff bristle brush is great because it keeps the tire cleaner where you want it and not where you don’t - ie the rims, fender, body…. Plus it’s overall small size helps avoid knocking into the fender’s wheel arch and potentially damaging the paint.
Flex Foam Tire Dressing Applicator
This is one of the nicer foam applicators I’ve used. The applicator is made of dense foam that keeps more product on the surface, not allowing it to sink in, resulting in less wasted tire dressing.
During application the recessed side grip is easy to hold while laying down a nice smooth line of tire dressing.
Carrand Brush & Shine Tire Dressing Applicator
This is hands down my favorite tire dressing applicator. It’s so easy to use! And perfect for brushing dressing into those tight tire textured areas the first time without needing to go back over areas you may have missed originally. Come to think of it I need to write a review highlighting just how useful this brush is.
I appreciate that the kit coming with both dressing applicators allowing you to use the style you prefer.
1 Pair of Black XL Nitrile Gloves
Yup, they’re gloves! Not only do they protect your hands they also insure there’s isn’t any cross-contamination when applying DP Tire Coating.
Microfiber All Purpose & Wheel Detailing Towel, 2 Pack:
My kit contained much nicer Clean and Buff towels. Not sure if this was an accident or on purpose but these sure are nice buffing towels!
DP Car Care Handbook
A 36-page book highlighting the entire Detailer's Pro Series line of car care products and pictures of them in action. Perfect for helping you decide which DP product you need next...
Final Thoughts
IMHO, this is great kit. If you're interested in trying out DP's Tire Coating and don't have many existing tire specific products this kit is also a good value for the $. According to Autopia's Dp Tire Kit product page you'll save 25% by buying the kit for $59.99 vs $79.92 - a saving of $19.93 off full retail value http://www.autopia-carcare.com/dp-tire-coating-kit-1.html#.VcJMK7XHG78
