Tire dressings

What brand do you drivers suggest. My tires look dingy. I have used No Touch, and Armor All in the past but neither seem to last very long. I am not familar with some of the newer stuff on the market and am a little skeptical of company's claims.

I like the Zymol Tyre. Does not give a shine like others, but makes the tire black and lasts for abt a week or two before needing another aplication. It also does not make your tires brown, since it is made out of conconut oils.

Poorboys, 303 Aerospace, Meg's Endurance...The outcome also does depend on the tire manufacturer. The key is no silicone and no sling.

I use Adam's Polishes VRT. I like it a lot. It doesn't look greasy or shiny and holds up well.

Try using Meguiar's All Season Dressing...it's a Detailer Line product. Apply it with Eagle 1 tire swipes. Make sure you clean the tires/wheels first. I like Zymol's Wheel Cleaner and Wheel Brush. I use Zymol Tyre for concours prep.

Adam's polishes VRT! applied with the big grey cylindrical sponge works great.

Thanks for the replies. I bought some 303 and will try it this week.

I have always wanted a Buick Grand National and missed a chance to buy one by one day once. I had a 66 Gran Sport that was an exceptional car, but never a GN. A GNX is too much to hope for.....unless!

No, not an actuary, a statistician...I help engineers and scientists design data acquisition/sampling plans and of course data analysis.

DocK, You will love 303. I use it on my dash as well since it protects from UV and it looks great and lasts long!
