There is no cure!
well as i tagged along the other day to walmart, i stopped by the car section of course. naturally looking for good otc products that dont get any fame (armorall for example). i stumbled upon "turtle wax f21 super protectant".
sprayed a little bit out to see if it was a familiar milky waterbased texture, and it indeed was. so i bought it. im a big fan of waterbased dressings for many reasons.
one of the reasons being cleaning. u can easily clean dressing off without need of apc or what not. another reason is no slinging. dry to the touch, and less dirt attraction.
application is very easy. spray 3-4 sprays onto a sponge of u're choice (swipe, pva, dish spnge, ect), and wipe on. it wipes on very milky and white, so u have to let it dry for 5 minutes.
when i came back after wiping it on, the dressing had completely soaked into the tire.
the best way i can describe the look of the tire, is "a lot of shine, but low gloss". something different i dont get.
most waterbased dressings give u a sheen, with low gloss.
most petroleum based dressings offer alot of gloss, lots of shine, and a wet look.
this product didnt. it gave me an in-between type of look, that is favorable to me, depending on my mood.
when i was all done with the dressing, i was very much impressed, so i decided to read the back of the bottle fully. one of the things it states is that its water-resistant. to me its, not a big deal to have a dressing that resist water, when as soon as it rains,. theres no point in having glossy tires if u're paint looks like crap and all water-spotty.
but the fact that it claims its waterressistant makes me believe that its not a pure waterbased dressing. so i called up turtlewax and asked. they faxed me over an msds sheet as they didnt have a clue of what i was asking. in the sheet it states:
the chemical family as:mixture: water, SILICONE, additives
so it isnt a pure waterbased dressing, which kinda turns me away. the product states not to brown your tires. this could be true as its not a PURE silicone dressing either. so yeah.
there are a lot of silicone dressings people use and get great results from, i.e: eagle one wet tire shine.
so for those of u who dont mind the silicone in dressings and want some durabilty, i highly suggest f21 from turtle wax, as the shine and gloss is just about perfect for those low pro tires.
another mixture dressing im looking into is AM superdress it.
but like i said, only time can tell, and ill keep ya posted.
