Tire dressing
Anyone using dura coat tire dressing? They claim it lasts months and the shine withstands multiple wash jobs while still looking like it was freshly applied. Surely this can't be true?

I use ExoForma which has similar claims. i only applied one quick coat a month ago, and I still looks wet in the areas I applied it well with a rag I had laying around. (I didn't have an applicator pad and was still dealing with COVID.)

I would like to know as well. Also, when it is time to re-apply, how hard is it to remove the previous coating, or do you just apply over top the old coat? Does it build up over time??

It's always best to clean the tyre before applying or re applying a dressing. You can use either an all purpose cleaner (APC) or a dedicated tyre cleaner in conjunction with a stiff tyre brush. There's loads of tyre dressing reviews and how to videos on YouTube which are very informative. |

I have used a lot of different types of tire dressing over the years and Chemical Guys VRP is the right combination of shine and doesn't splatter once it is dry. It won't last driving through rain but will last a few weeks in dry weather. If you want something that's super shiny and last through a rain shower you can use Meguiar's Endurance. The downside is it will splatter after the first few drives. The shine is also a bit much and doesn't look natural IMO.

I haven’t used the endurance shine in a long time but do recall it lasting for a couple weeks. VRP and Adam’s tire shine would be a tie in my book, with VRP lasting a little longer.

I bought a gallon of adams vrt like 6 years ago and i still have some left. That is the best value for money and it has a great semi gloss finish to it. It stays on for a while as well. I tried their Graphene vrt and it's no better. Pure marketing there.

Who cares about dressing lasting two years.
If you want to get something proper, look into Meguiar's Hyper Dressing. Water-based and you can dilute it to whatever level of shine you prefer. |
