having a problem with tire dressing

[79elcamino]

i use endurance high gloss on my tires and my tires have a lot of grooves around the whole tire and after letting the product sit for 10-20 i wipe off excess using a mf and i use a paint brush to get in the grooves and still after about 7 driving trips it is still coming out of the grooves, but not on the car, just around the tire. After each trip i wipe the tire and by the end of the day the tire no longer has its high gloss it has more of a matt finish. Also after the first wipe after the 10-20min wait time the shine is like cut in half. Also after the first wash of the car, i dont clean the tires but some water get on it, in certain spots of the tire the shine is gone. I like my tires to be extremely shiny and wet looking, but i want the product to last a good amount of time and i want the product to stay on the tire after i have to wipe the tire after every driving trip until its out of the grooves, any suggestions on a product(megs or not) or how to get the gel out of the grooves. should i let endurance sit longer on the tire so more get absorbed into the tire, i never wipe it off before 10min like it says though.

Re: having a problem with tire dressing

have you tried letting the dressing sit after you wipe? personally i find letting it dry after applying dressing allows it to stay longer, but i use insane shine

Re: having a problem with tire dressing

After I apply tire dressing and spread it around evenly, I come back with the leaf blower and blow out (also helps to dry it quicker) all the left over tire dressing in the tread, grooves, etc. Of course, this is done on a driveway after it's been sprayed down with the hose to make sure there isn't any debris that gets blown around. Been doing this for years with no problems.

that would be great if i had a leaf blower, but i do have a shop vac and it can used to blow instead of ****(wow that sounds so bad) i will try that

Re: having a problem with tire dressing

I use the Insane Shine spray, and then a terry cloth towel to sort of blot around the tire instead of wiping to pick up excess.

Just use All Season Dressing. I think that will save you a lot of headache.

How about trying one of the aerosol tire dressings? I recently tried an aerosol dressing on my wife's CR-V and daughter's Accord. I wanted something that was quick to apply and left a high-gloss look. I let the car sit for a couple of hours to allow the dressing to dry completely. I haven't seen any sling with either car.

I think compressed air should do the trick

I have found that applying All Season dressing with a foam applicator pad or a microfiber yields best results, I dont think it is one of those spray and walk away products, the aerosol products seem best suited for that
