***Disclaimer***

Just to note, this is not a Meguiar's recommended technique for any of our tire dressings so if you decide to use this method of applying dressings to tires then understand you're doing this at your own risk.

Re: A look into the TW (TylorWeaver) Method of applying Tire Dressing

^lol, IE; Don't apply DIRECT heat or open flame to your tire shine.. It's recommended that you don't use Aersol-type sprays for this either, could be flammable.

Good point Mike! Thanks!!!
However, this isn't necessarily a damaging process to either yourself, the product you use, nor your car. So, in my wealth-of-knowledge-opinion.. You're plenty safe using this technique Just be safe and use caution when using any sort of power tool, or heat gun/blow-dryer...


Thanks!!!

Very best,
TW

Re: A look into the TW (TylorWeaver) Method of applying Tire Dressing

Correct, I do have it turned to max heat, just to get the job done quicker, and to heat the tire up quicker.. The goal is to move around the circumference of the sidewall, heating it up as you go.. You don't want to heat a section slowly, then come back around, and it's back to being cool again! So, my fix for this, is the hotter, the better! You can't really damage your tire any by heating it up with a heat gun, blow dryer, or high-wattage work lamp.. Although, the worst that can happen is end up burning your fingers on your own fixture!! (TOTALLY, never done that one before.. I swear! lol)



In response to your other question.. "May I asked how you came across or stumbled across this idea?"

Actually, I managed to develop this idea myself a while back.. I'm an engineer, so I have a pretty decent background in physics, thermodynamics, etc. I deal with it on a daily basis.. I design lights for cars, trucks, buses, power/motorsports. So the understanding of heat transfer is kind of a given.lol.. So, I decided to try it out on my brothers car first, about 3 years ago, producing great results.. and I've been doing it ever since! It might take me, maaaaybe 20minutes to go around and do all four tires the correct way - So, I've started incorporating this as a standard, when working on a client's car, as well.. So far, everyone seems to love it, and this makes as a great 'popper' to really make things 'pop' in the end, giving the overall look of the car, a stunning, brilliant shine

Thanks for all of the questions, comments, and especially the compliments! Very much appreciated guys! Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply

Re: A look into the TW (TylorWeaver) Method of applying Tire Dressing

Have you found that this extends the "shine" period? i imagine this would make it last a fair bit longer being embedded rather than just on top

Re: A look into the TW (TylorWeaver) Method of applying Tire Dressing

thanks dude..

The heat gun used in this process is on sale at Harbor freight this month. It can be yours for $9.99. I picked one up. have not tried it yet. But I am planning to.

Oh boy, I've seen some tire shines light up like gasoline!!!! I'll stick to a terry towel!

Not all dressings are that flammable. I know Hyperdressing has a rating of 0(zero) for flammability. This is definitely something i'd be willing to try out.

Re: A look into the TW (TylorWeaver) Method of applying Tire Dressing

i know that some tire gels are flammable, but I think it would be more practical and more safe if you'd take the wheel off the car..

Re: A look into the TW (TylorWeaver) Method of applying Tire Dressing

Definitely have to give this a shot! Thanks!

Nice to see a SRV fan here!!!!!!

That's a very good tip TW,with a very clear write up with good pics. One thing,though... Some people don't have your patience or experience and would have to be carefull with the heat gun.A hair dryer is fine.I think you should slip in a word of caution for the heat gun.I've used them a lot and you have to be very carefull. A couple of seconds too long and......

By the way,like the S2000.Great car. How do you find the Falkens? I use Yoko's Parada spec 2 on my ol' civic. They're great on the dry.On the wet....... .They say it's got a silica compound for wearability and a bit more grip on the wet. But,i find they're the same as my old A520's(on the wet).
