Endurance Tire Dressings

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

I had a bottle of the old Endurance Tire Gel about two years ago. It was great! Smells great, lasts long, and no slings on my door panels. I just got tired of looking for it around my city, so I decided to try BM Titanium Tire Gel. I am never going to use this in my own car again (maybe on my wife's and my father-in-law's). Yes, it's extremely shiny at initial application, but the pros ends there. No matter how much I wipe-off the product, to tone-it-down, reduce slinging, IT STILL SLINGS. I am not sure what kind of test they do, to prove it last longer than Meguiar's Hot Shine, but after a week of driving with it, the shine is non-existent and attracted so much dirt and grime. In my perspective, Meguiar's Hot Shine, lasts longer and easier to apply.

For me, I do not like the extremely high gloss shine on my tires. I like natural shine, yet not so matte. This is why I am excited with this new Meguiar's Endurance Tire Spray.

...I will probably try to use the BM on my wheel wells...LOL

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Our new consumer products will be on store shelves starting late January to early February at most large auto parts chains, WalMart, Target and the usual major online retailers.

Oh how I hope the new Endurance Aerosol can be close to what the *old* formula HotShine was.

The new HotShine isn't worth mentioning (or buying) since the reformulation/trigger change.

I always considered the old HS to me like an aerosol version of the Endurance Gel. Very similar looks/durability when each was applied and buffed off.

What advantage(s) does the aerosol offer?

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

so I decided to try BM Titanium Tire Gel.

I tried that stuff just for something different...complete waste of money. So hard to work with and it only lasted a day on the tires. And of course it spun off the tires onto the paint too.

To those who prefer an aerosol, they often cite ease of use and speed of application as their main reasons for choosing aerosols. We offer the product in the various formats because people tend to be very loyal to these different delivery methods.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

When using the Endurance Tire Gel what do you recommend using to apply it to the tire?

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Foam applicators work great, but others really like a cut down paint brush that's a couple of inches wide. The trick is to work it into all the little nooks and crannies of the lettering and other graphics on the sidewall, then let it penetrate and dry, and then wipe the tire down with an old terry towel after a few minutes. You just don't want any excess on the sidewall that might be thrown off when the tire reaches speed. This can be a bit tricky to remove fully from those graphics/lettering/etc so just be a bit diligent on the details.

I just generally use a few paper towels folded up. I apply the product to the towel and just wipe onto the tire. I don't go back over to wipe off the excess - if there is any. I can't say that I've experienced any product thrown off onto the paint or anything afterwards. This stuff is fantastic.

Loading up the gel can still lead to some issues - people just seem to have this natural tendency to overuse product for some reason!!

Out of the three versions of this product, the trigger spray is going to be the one that dries the most thoroughly, and the most quickly. It's just sort of the nature of the three formats.

If you've been using the gel and love it, then keep using it exactly the same way as before but you should find it lasts a bit longer than previously. The aerosol is a convenience format for those who like the format, as is the trigger.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

The gel is still coming out right? I don't see it listed on ADS or AutoGeek, but the aerosol and liquid are? Am I just being paranoid? lol

[roushstage2]

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

It's not in ADS's "new products" section because the gel isn't new; just updated.
