Yeah thats it, the hot somthing or other. looks good till rain, lol but they all need to be reapplied after it rains to look like new again.

 

yeah i'll agree with you there.

 

Update:

3 weeks


At this point I would re-apply. The finish is now more of a matte finish, it still looks nice and clean. On sunday i'll post a picture of my wifes tire again, as stated before this stuff is holding up better on her tire. Im going to wait to re-apply just to see how it looks as it degrades.

 

This will be the final update, i have come to the conclution that the black tire coat from turtle wax used in this thread works much better on smaller/stiffer sidewalls than it does on larger more flexible sidewalls. I applied it to my mother-in-law's tires on the same day as I did my wife's tires, and it looks pretty much the same as it does on mine. She drives even less than my wife does...so there you have it. I hope someone got some use out of this.

Later...

 

oh yeah forgot to mention, both mine and my mother-in-law's sidewalls are 60%, my wifes are 45%

 

so I lied...here is my wife's tire today




and back when there were only 2 weeks on this tire shine...



nothing other than washing off the tires with regular car wash soap and a sponge was done...no reapplication of any tire shine products.

I'm impressed.
