Gold Class Endurance

[rjstaaf]

The nice thing about the original formula is that with one coat you get a semi gloss appearance but, if you let the first coat sit a while and then put a second on it will get more glossy if that is the look you are going for.

Yeah, I would like to see side by side pics as well. I still have 1/3 a bottle of the High Gloss, so if I can ever find the lower gloss I will post some pictures -- too bad shipping is so high.

i have both and ask my customers if they prefer the satin or glossy look. i prefer the regular, unless going to a Rx7 meeting. really stands out!!

Please set a nasty rumour to rest. I have heard the "new" formula of Endurance has added Silicon. Is this correct? If so why?
Also, has anyone experienced "buildup" of Endurance on their tires. Should this actually occur, could this be improper application?

crobarcars,
hi, can't comment on silicone added however mike wrote a great article about silicone not being as bad as we all assume.

you might find that interesting.
as to build up, I always wash (scrub) my tires with a white wall cleaner (even thought I don't have white walls) every thrid wash or so. I would guess if you did this , it would remove any build up. beside tires take such a beating ,weather, heat, curbs and what not that I would guess it would wear faster than any signifigant build up would begin. just a thought.

2000 - Thank you for your quick response. I have read that article and it is "food for thought". I do not actually use the Endurance product, however an associate of mine at work does and I wanted to squelch these silicon rumours. I agree cleaning and refreshing the product is essential to a healthy look.

I have both the regular Endurance and the Glossy Endurance tire gel. From use I would say I like the regular shine better as the glossy one is wayyyy to shiny. Glossy I think would be great to accompany the shine with chrome rims etc. The regular Endurance seems to wear a bit better and longer. Doesnt seem to fly all over the sides of the car in the form of black dots. One thing I have tried is the Hot shine on my aunts SLK Mercedes. No splatter on the sides and still a really awesome shine after 2 months. Iam amazed and probably will switch once i use up all my Eudurance on my 5 cars.

I tried Hot Shine for the 1st time last week and really liked the way that it soaked up on the tires...Great looking shine too!

P. S. Good to have MOL back online!...This is my 1st post in about 2 weeks!

But I still can't log on to Show Car Garage ...Will it be down long?

I use the High Gloss formula on my vehicles. It definitely revives the brown tire look into the brand new tire look.

Hot Shine is great stuff.

Here are some before and afters of Gold Class Endurance High Gloss.

I cleaned the tires with NXT Tire Cleaner and a Versa-Angle Tire Brush.

I had the Gold Class High Endurance but switched to Hot Shine Trigger Spray for one reason: No matter how much I wiped the tiree, the gel would build up in the grooves like crazy. I could not get it out, no matter what I tried.

I have had very good luck with it.... I use an old cotton towel to wipe the tires a second time and really work on the groves.

I agree its not the easiest product to use and does tend to get in the groves but I have not had a sling problem.

I like both of the Endurance gels (high gloss and normal). Also, I like the Hot Shine (in the pump). Good products.

I wonder if it's possible to thin Endurance down just enough to apply it with a spray bottle?.......That stuff sure is thick.
