Tip: cut a disc out of sturdy cardboard the same diameter as your wheel. Then cut 3 finger holes in the center, similar to a bowling ball. Hold disc tight against wheel as you’re spraying dressing to prevent overspray on wheels.
Rather than using a spray bottle and having to wipe the wheel off and possibly getting it on the body of the car try using a round detail brush. I use one every time I apply tire coating, it gets the product in those deep crevices and gets it real nice at the inside edge of the tire.
Directions say to apply the cleaner to a dry tire. It needs to be full strength, not diluted by water. It's also highly acidic so those aluminum wheels are now etched and dull.
So you think they expect you to dry the tire after each cleaning? A little common sense dude, that’s not practical and they never say to do that. The dura cleaner is very potent, and a little water residue on the tire is not going to diminish its effectiveness much, if at all. Oh and dura cleaner has a Ph of 12, so it’s highly alkaline, NOT acidic! Plus, the wheels in this video are factory wheels, which means they’re clear coated, which means an alkaline or acidic cleaner is not going to effect the wheel if rinsed off right after use. BTW, this wheel was fine, came out perfect!
@@TurnerMobileDetailingA little wet? Your tire was shiny wet. The instructions say to move on to the next wheel and by the time you're done with the other 3, the first one is mostly dry. Yeah, common sense. And I'm just telling you what multiple reviewers have said on their videos, that it etched they're aluminum wheels because they didn't clean it off fast enough.
@@naamangeist7843 yes it will damage bare aluminum wheels, but like I said these are not bare aluminum wheels. And I’ve cleaned many many tires with this stuff, and just cleaned one wheel at a time without moving on to the next tire after each cleaning, and the cleaner is still extremely effective. To dilute this stuff to ineffectiveness you would need a lot more water than what’s left over on the tire right after a rinse.
Can use a sprayer but then would recommend a detail brush to get into all the cracks, will self level and dry to perfect sheen. Your tires are pretty flat on the side, many are not.
Pro tip: On a surface where even coverage is desired, spread the dressing out evenly and then let it dwell/soak in. It avoids bitchiness. You also want to really work this type of product into the sidewall's lettering and other markings. This product is similar to Tuff Shine and very similar to Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel., but Tuff Shine lasts far longer than either.
Did the dressing clear out from the white color after you let it sit? Or did you rub it completely out to where no white was showing before you let it dry?
The white color of the liquid turns clear as it dries. The main reason for all the rubbing is to spread the product and to make sure there’s no drips and runs. Some white after your done spreading the product is ok, it will dry clear.
It’s pretty dull now, hard to tell if it’s there. It stayed noticeable until about the 3 1/2 to 4 month mark. The good thing is though that when you use a tire coating like this it basically seals the tire. So if you reapply down the road, not to long though, it is easier to clean, and the tire coating will look good longer because it doesn’t absorb into the tire like the initial application does.
SIL just got me dura dressing kit Detail shop (Jax Wax) told me these products will dry tires Out? On my kit box it states, permanent tire coating that can last up to the life of tire Is that a true statement? If so i would want to do both sides of tire.
Tire dressings that contain solvents can dry out the natural oils in the rubber, which can turn them brown, dry them out and leading to cracking and dry rot in the rubber. That’s why you should always use water based tire dressings. As far as tire coatings go, I can’t speak for every product on the market, but I know dura-dressing is water based, so it should not harm the tire in the long run. As far as it lasting a tires lifetime, I have had really good success with this stuff. Keep in mind any tire product can perform differently on different tires. But what I recommend is after the tires are thoroughly cleaned with dura-cleaner, put 3 coats of dura-dressing, and then touch up with a light coat about every 2-3 months depending on preference. I have this stuff on my truck and I haven’t touched it up in about 2 years and it’s still noticeably there.
Yes, typically with tire dressings and coatings alike, the more coatings you do, the more sheen you get. With Dura Dressing, I typically use 2-3 coats depending on how the tire receives it, and especially on the initial application. You can do as many coats as you like, but after a certain amount I believe you would reach the point of diminished returns. I have never applied 4 coats personally, but I don't think it would hurt. On maintenance coats every 3 months, i typically do 2 light coats.
Once you've dried the tire spray it down with isopropyl alcohol diluted 9:1 (90% 10%) distilled water to isopropyl. iso being 10% I don't have time today to finish watching this so idk if he does this but do it once the tires are cleaned and dried then dry after spraying to remove residues from you or blown onto by wind or something
Also, don't be fooled by the white, if you used a soaking wet brush or there just is a lot of water on the tire the foam will come out white.. too soft of a brush, too wet, anything like that will give you a false impression
No, not sure where you got that but on these tires it took about 30-45 minutes per tire including drying time between each coat. Of course every tire is different and may not require 6 cleanings to get them clean, so overall times will vary.
I applied 2 coats in June of 2021 and it's still there. I wash my truck twice a week and use a good tire cleaner every time and the dura dress is still there. I'm going to recoat it next month add a little gloss to them. I'm not sure why you only got 1 month out of yours.
For most people that like to wash their cars at least once a week, its too easy to apply a new dressing each time and have a really REALLY nice shine, one that Dura Dressing can never provide not even when its just been applied. All off the shelf basic dressings last at least a week in an extremely shiny state, way better than Dura Dressing. The special cleaning needed for Dura Dressing is just not worth the hassle for a less shiny tire in the end. ----- Better to take 5 minutes after you wash your car each time and add new off the shelf basic dressings......

This works great depending on the brush

Great video! I love all of the stupid replies and I'm sure mostly from people that have never used the product!! 😂😂
That came out great. Good product you got me sold.

I’ve since tried that and it works nice. Just use cheap brushes because they’re ruined afterwards, unless you rinse them immediately.

And hear I thought flowers and candy avoided bitchiness 😂
Did you rinse the tire brush in between cleanings?
Yes, it gets full of brown foam after every cleaning so you have to rinse it.
Did the dressing clear out from the white color after you let it sit? Or did you rub it completely out to where no white was showing before you let it dry?
The white color of the liquid turns clear as it dries. The main reason for all the rubbing is to spread the product and to make sure there’s no drips and runs. Some white after your done spreading the product is ok, it will dry clear.
I gotta ask.....where did you get that sprayer that was hooked directly to your hose?
Are you using a pressure washer with the pressure gun ? Or do you have it hooked up to a garden hose?
I’m using an electric pressure washer.
What does that tire look like now 5 months later?
It’s pretty dull now, hard to tell if it’s there. It stayed noticeable until about the 3 1/2 to 4 month mark.

Alright, good to know
Thank you
Do you think it will get shiner than that? Is it possible to do multiple coatings, (at least 4) for max, permanate shine?
Yes, typically with tire dressings and coatings alike, the more coatings you do, the more sheen you get. With Dura Dressing, I typically use 2-3 coats depending on how the tire receives it, and especially on the initial application.

AM I THE ONLY ONE NOTICEING THAT YOU NEEDED TO WASH OUT THE BRUSH CAUSE THATS WHAT REALLY DURTY? BUH 👌
You spent about 2 hours on one tire?
No, not sure where you got that but on these tires it took about 30-45 minutes per tire including drying time between each coat. Of course every tire is different and may not require 6 cleanings to get them clean, so overall times will vary.
I love Ford
Haha, Chevy all the way!
He probably drives a Nissan. So his opinion isn't valid.
My grandmother said she likes the music.
Awesome! Thank you!
All that work for one tire. Only three more to go
It’s worth it. You only have to put in that work in once, then every 2-3 months a regular cleaning then a touch up
Wrong 😢 spray the cleaner in the brush not on the tires!!!
Mine lasted a month. Not worth the time and effort
How many coats did you apply?
I applied 2 coats in June of 2021 and it's still there. I wash my truck twice a week and use a good tire cleaner every time and the dura dress is still there. I'm going to recoat it next month add a little gloss to them. I'm not sure why you only got 1 month out of yours.
@@danielfletcher1384 probably didn't clean the tire good enough
@@maf1986mf That would be my guess. My experience with the product has been positive.
