Hello All of our Great Subscribers..

Does it make the odometer go slower, too, extending the life of the car? :) I'm working on something that makes the odometer go BACKWARDS! My first try failed - labeling all the forward gears as different speeds of reverse, and labeling reverse as 1st gear.
I'm glad some people are able to buy tires cheaper on line. I have never found buying tires online to be cheaper. Buying them locally has always been quicker and cheaper then piecing it together. It makes warranty issues much easier to deal with as well.
Late reply. The only discount I really find is sometimes places like discount tire will give you an extra 10% off online with an account etc. But I'm with you I buy locally but just search online. Alot of places will match prices of authorized resellers online so even if your an In person kinda guy you can still window shop if your place price matches
I have always had problems with my tires dry rot before the tread wears out. I did the 303 inside and out with my latest tires nothing fancy . I have continue to spray them roughly every 3months . Yesterday I checked and it's 3 years 3months with 32,817 miles and the tires still look great. No cracks . Thanks great videos
I like to fill my tires with Hawaiian air because the moisture level is a lot higher than california air. It's a little pricey to have it shipped here but I wouldn't use any other air.
Lol I just soaked my lawn mower belt in 303 a few minutes ago. Almost out of my gallon, used so much of the stuff lately. All my rubber and plastics are looking gooooood. 😉 My power tools look newer than new.
Man, i'm so glad to see 303 is still part of your universe. At the beginning i was a bit worried that youre going to replace it.. greetings from germany

I think Sweet Project Cars is the reason 303 is so damn expensive now. You’ve increased their sales and they raised prices. Used to get a gallon of it so much cheaper
I did the 303 treatment to my tires. Didn't know about this Trim Serum. My local tire shop couldn't get the brand I wanted so I got the best price from WM! Then the shop wanted close to $200 to do a mount and balance since I didn't buy from them. WM was $100.

You sure can use it on plastics, also, this can be done to new or used tires to get as much time out of them as you can, just be sure to apply this from the beginning when you do get new tires, you will not be sorry Kevin! Thanks for the view and comment, hope you have a great rest of your week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike & team
So I assume that putting 303 on the tread would lose some grip characteristics for performance track tires. But it seems that putting 303 on the sidewalls might be nice to stiffen up the sidewall for aggressive autocross. I will definitely do this for my daily tires for sure.
I read the descriptions for the 303 and the Serum. It appears the Serum is absorbed while the 303 is more of a coating. If that's the case, shouldn't we apply the Serum, wait for it to soak in, then apply the 303? Or did I misunderstand?
Charles, we have found following this method we share will work the absolute best for you. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Tires that are dry rotted from the lack of conditioners wear out 50 to 75% more from what we have found here If you try this you’ll see for yourself just how amazing it truly is
Plasticizers. Basically, what keeps plastic and rubber soft and able to expand and contract as the wheel rotates and encounters different forces boils down to the chemical compounds in the material. Plasticizers are some of the most important, but they are hard to keep retained in the material. With time, oxidation, damage, and uv exposure they slowly leach out of the material and cause it to become more and more brittle. Eventually if too much is lost the part fails (plastic parts breaking, or tires losing traction and/or tread) 303 aerospace protectant works in two major ways. The exact formulation is a trade secret, but as I understand it is basically a water-based solution that adds both more uv protectant and more plasticizers to what you put it on. Applying it periodically slows or stops the usual wear process.
Just got new tires 1 month ago. Actually I got them last thanksgiving and just had them mounted. Opportunity missed! Oh well......next time. Of course the outside for now. Thanks Mike.
I think you can deflate the tire, take the center part of the valve stem out, and spray inside the tire. I would think most of the benefit heavy lifting is done on the external sections of the tire.
I've purchased two sets of tires online. Each set had a blem that was out of round, you can't balance a tire that's out of round. I buy tires from Discount Tire, good prices and great service.
Hello Brian if you are planning on doing car tires this is the only machine that we recommend that would be safe enough amzn.to/3gSvWlO to balance them this is the cheapest best working balancer amzn.to/3934BLb but if you would like our 2cents, it's best to have the tires mounted and balanced professionally for the cost and time involved thanks Mike SPC
Do you think 303 can bring old tires back to life. Just bought a vehicle with Michelin tires that appear to be new by looking at tread however they are getting cracks in tires. Just enough where you can feel depth running finger nail over. Will this work to keep them from cracking worse. Vehicle sat for approximately 10 yrs
It will definetly help, start spraying them down, soaking them with the product. Thanks for asking and watching. Have a great day Todd. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thanks man great video! Many tires get dry rot, so this would stop that, or slow it down? I've lost many tires due to this... Just a couple questions, if they will be in the sun for years after putting them on the car, why wait 3 days to a week, to put them on, after spraying? Other than the fact, they will be wet? Can this bot help protect tires already on the vehicle against dry rot, by spraying the tires on the car?
Last time I bought new tires, some guy named Santa Hoolio said he was taking them to his workshop at the North Pole to treat them. He must be really making sure the 303 soaks in, because it's been two years already and I guess they aren't done yet.
Before watching this video it looked like you found a way to keep the tread life longer. All you did was coat the sidewall. I personally dont buy new tires when my sidewall lose shine.
@ Mike,you'll want to watch the original video too.it shows everything treated. Without seeing the bike tires closely, they look better than Armor called!😎
Your best bet is to have someone you may know in the US or UK buy it and ship it to you James. Thank you for watching and asking, we appreciate it my friend. Welcome from South Africa. Hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So it’s rainy and storm weather in between the sun here all summer. What should I do not not mess the conditioning time outside when the weather storms hit? Does it do anything bad if they rained on? Thanks!!
@@donthompson1650 There was previous video about applying the 303 only. This video here is "new and improved" over the last video. I'm wondering how much improvement given the success of the 303-only method and the expense of the serum product. My tires are cheap, though. Maybe the serum makes sense on $500/tire setups.
I drive 5000 soft k a year and have had the same tires for over 10 years without any treatment and think if you drive nicely and park in a shaded place the tires should last a long time
It slows up the oxidation and vulcanizing of the rubber that makes it brittle and breakdown/ crumble. Did this on my truck tires and the look like new after 9000 miles in 100 Degree California weather and parked outside in the sun. It works! Traction is just fine, too. A 50,000 mile warranty tire could go 75,000, I reckon. Thanks you Sweet Project Cars! You’re the best!
@@michaelm2502 The warranty has nothing to do with treadwear; it's all about manufacturer defects, nothing more. I've never had a tire last 75k miles (without 303 and a lack of alignment issues; 303 won't help if alignment is thrown off).

Hello, just put the tires out in the sun. Hoping this will help at least a bit with the extreme tire wear we are getting. Btw I've used your serum from the video where you make plastic shine. The 303, lotion and oil one. Hope that does not damage anything
Sounds great Simon! Also, we would never put out information in our videos that would cause damage to you or anything you have, with over 600 videos on our channel, that's not what we are about. Thanks. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Amazing, I just was not sure whether it's going to do the same job or its less effective if you put the johnson's lotion and oil in the mix. These are brand new tires, so I wonder how long they gonna last!
OK. I missed the part that tells me exactly what you are using, where we can buy it, and what exactly that stuff does for tires! Does it Harden the rubber?
It's this amzn.to/2WQg0sB and just a reminder, all of the products/tools we use in our videos can always be found in the SHOW MORE of the videos description, if you can't find it let us know and we will help you. Thanks for watching Keith. mad Mike the hammer SPC P.S. it doesn't harden rubber.
This video couldn't have been uploaded at a better time :) I'm gonna be in the market for tires very shortly and I was wonderin' "how to pre-treat" .... Thank's Sweet Projects Car (and Julio) :)
First of all Bryson, I just have to ask, why would you live where there are that many days of rain and you can't get out to do anything? I just really don't understand when there are so many other great places to live. But going back to your question, this will work for you. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great rainy day ;) mad Mike the hammer SPC
Warm rubber absorbs this amzn.to/2WQg0sB much better, making it that much more effective. Thank you for watching and asking Terri, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
It's just one of the steps to make your tires last longer than ever. Believe it or not, tires dry rot from the insides too, that's why we do it. Thank you for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
How long to wait if I can only store them inside or just doing it the first time mounted on the vehicle ? ( I know it won't be as good because I cant get to the inside of the tire ).
Hello Steven, we are publishing a video today that will give you a better solution for your wheels, stay tuned. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So, you may have explained as to how treating tires with 303 extends the life of tires, and sorry if you have to explain it again but how does spraying the inside of the tire help to extend the life of the tire since it isn't really exposed to the elements.
Jon keeping the tires soft and supple is the key, dry rubber wears faster as it dry rots slowly much like you skin you need moisturizers or you will end up a big epidermal dust pile lol
@@SweetProjectCars Okay that makes sense. Now, how was it decided that the tires now need to sit for a week after treating them with 303 versus just 12 hours, as what was mentioned in your first instructional video
Given the serum is rather expensive, what marginal benefits does it give that the 303 didn't give? I thought the 303 was extending tire life to over 100,000 miles per the last video. Thanks in advance, and thanks for both videos.
Durability. We are always looking for the newest technology to pass along to our viewers and we found this goo.gl/Eqjnp3 to be extremely durable and it's a once and done product. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks for doing what you do -- it is much appreciated. I'm testing the 303 on some older tires, and will revisit this video when I get some better tires.
Just got new tires in 30 to 40 degree weather. I have them in the house but my question is do I need to wait until spring to treat them so I can place them out in the sun or will winter sun do? I am not in a hurry to get the tires on as I don’t drive the car much and can wait if need be. Or, will being inside at 68 degrees work? Thanks. Update: Well I guess this must have been a stupid question. I’m gonna go ahead and treat them inside and hope for the best. I’ll keep them inside for a month.
I want to say thank you for all you do for the community of this channel. Ery helpfully and awsome I appriciate it all extra tid bits for taking car of my vehicle. WOLF PEACE

Is it possible to do this with tires that are less than a year old? I can't get at the inside now that they're mounted but i was thinking I could take the wheel off and do a deep clean on the tires and the treads and then put some 303 them and give them 24 hours. Would that work?
Absolutely it will work, Ankit! That's actually the best time to start protecting them, when they are new. Thanks for the question. Have a great day! mad Mike the hammer SPC
SPC, any difference between the 303 (30382) UV protectant and the 303 Products 30320 Aerospace Protectant? For that matter, is 303 the only product that does this? I just had a new set put on my 4Runner yesterday, and used the 30382. We'll see how it goes.
Hello Ron we know that most people such as yourself know that they need to remove the sticker we did not want to waste time removing the sticker and or telling people they need to remove it and make them feel like they were idiots
@@SweetProjectCars True but you know as well as I do this is TH-cam and you are going to have that one idiot that's not going to not remove the sticker from the tire and then blame you for the result. If they can find an excuse they will.
I've never replaced a tyre on my car because of deterioration. Low tread is always the reason due to the number of miles I do. Is this treatment mainly applicable for tyres which do low mileage where age and UV exposure becomes more of a factor?
Will doing this work on car bushings and engine mounts etc? If you could treat these it could save a lot of hassle, changing out bushings and especially stuff like engine mounts are a pain in the ass
I would just like to know what is 303 and the other product that was used. I'm not from America so I don't know if it's available here where I stay. Thanks.
Hi Markus, here are the products amzn.to/32EJYjV and amzn.to/2QcRuBh not sure where you live, but if you can't find them there, your best option is to find someone in the US to purchase and ship it to you where you live. Thank you for watching my friend. Take care. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thank you so much Mike. I really appreciate you coming back to me. I'm staying in South Africa. I will check if I can find it here. Blessings...
I've found discount tire pretty amazing they will price match most reasonable deals and include free rotations and as a bonus if your an active or retired military you get a 10% discount
Hi, I’ve been treating all my tires since watching your video. However, every time I go through a car wash, seems like they immediately wash off. Do you think it’ll still extend my tire life?
Once it's absorbed into the rubber, even after a car wash, it's still extending the life. We do suggest hand washing your car over automatic car washes, just to let you know. Thanks Alex! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
What you're seeing is basically the excess on the surface. Plastic and rubber are basically big sponges, the protectant absorbs into the pores as well even if the glossiness on the surface wears off

I use to own a tire retreading factory making retread tires using good undamaged casing. I don't understand how often bit of spay will make your tire last longer. Very puzzled about this method
its much like how can they fly to the moon and better yet return them to the earth to the exact right locating for pick up it is amazing how that can be done much like the treatment we do to tires, it just works and works great thanks SPC Mike
@@SweetProjectCars my car is due for new tires so I am going to do your method in treating the tires. I've got nothing to loose but a lot to gain. Thanks for sharing all this info
I think the idea is that conditioned rubber is less likely to have micro chunks break off while driving than dry, unconditioned tires. All the testimonials I've read have been very positive, and I haven't read a negative one yet. I will give this a try and see what happens.
Hello, Mike; Love ya' videos man, you just keep getting better, "Thank You!" for all you do.

Do you do this in advance for scheduled appt customers? just curious. Have to ask Todd at Pro tire, if he is aware of this process. Thanks much!👍
So I assume that putting 303 on the tread would lose some grip characteristics for performance track tires. But it seems that putting 303 on the sidewalls might be nice to stiffen up the sidewall for aggressive autocross.
I will definitely do this for my daily tires for sure.
After doing this process the tires are not slippery as mentioned in the video as you know soft tires grip better than hard dry rotted ones

Plasticizers. Basically, what keeps plastic and rubber soft and able to expand and contract as the wheel rotates and encounters different forces boils down to the chemical compounds in the material. Plasticizers are some of the most important, but they are hard to keep retained in the material. With time, oxidation, damage, and uv exposure they slowly leach out of the material and cause it to become more and more brittle. Eventually if too much is lost the part fails (plastic parts breaking, or tires losing traction and/or tread)
303 aerospace protectant works in two major ways. The exact formulation is a trade secret, but as I understand it is basically a water-based solution that adds both more uv protectant and more plasticizers to what you put it on. Applying it periodically slows or stops the usual wear process.
Just got new tires 1 month ago. Actually I got them last thanksgiving and just had them mounted. Opportunity missed! Oh well......next time.
Of course the outside for now. Thanks Mike.
I think you can deflate the tire, take the center part of the valve stem out, and spray inside the tire. I would think most of the benefit heavy lifting is done on the external sections of the tire.
I've purchased two sets of tires online. Each set had a blem that was out of round, you can't balance a tire that's out of round. I buy tires from Discount Tire, good prices and great service.
Thank you for watching and sharing Richard. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Glad you like them! It's our pleasure my friend. Thank you for watching. Have a stupendous day! mad Mike the hammer SPC
Can you show how to mount and balance tires yourself (no expensive tool/machine) so we can also save the $80-120 on installation?
Hello Brian if you are planning on doing car tires this is the only machine that we recommend that would be safe enough amzn.to/3gSvWlO to balance them this is the cheapest best working balancer amzn.to/3934BLb but if you would like our 2cents, it's best to have the tires mounted and balanced professionally for the cost and time involved thanks Mike SPC
Do you think 303 can bring old tires back to life. Just bought a vehicle with Michelin tires that appear to be new by looking at tread however they are getting cracks in tires. Just enough where you can feel depth running finger nail over. Will this work to keep them from cracking worse. Vehicle sat for approximately 10 yrs
It will definetly help, start spraying them down, soaking them with the product. Thanks for asking and watching. Have a great day Todd. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Thanks man great video!
Many tires get dry rot, so this would stop that, or slow it down? I've lost many tires due to this...
Just a couple questions, if they will be in the sun for years after putting them on the car, why wait 3 days to a week, to put them on, after spraying? Other than the fact, they will be wet?
Can this bot help protect tires already on the vehicle against dry rot, by spraying the tires on the car?
You can treat them how ever you want, this will stop dry rot in its tracks my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike
March 30-2021, that was pretty damn good, thanks.

Thank you very much Bryan! We truly appreciate the view and comment, makes all we do worth it, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Last time I bought new tires, some guy named Santa Hoolio said he was taking them to his workshop at the North Pole to treat them. He must be really making sure the 303 soaks in, because it's been two years already and I guess they aren't done yet.
Is there a way to inflate your tires with a little 303?
Before watching this video it looked like you found a way to keep the tread life longer. All you did was coat the sidewall. I personally dont buy new tires when my sidewall lose shine.
@ Mike,you'll want to watch the original video too.it shows everything treated. Without seeing the bike tires closely, they look better than Armor called!😎
Hi
Amazing.
I am in South Africa. What is 303 and the other additive u use. Any equivalent substances to use?
Your best bet is to have someone you may know in the US or UK buy it and ship it to you James. Thank you for watching and asking, we appreciate it my friend. Welcome from South Africa. Hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So it’s rainy and storm weather in between the sun here all summer. What should I do not not mess the conditioning time outside when the weather storms hit? Does it do anything bad if they rained on? Thanks!!
jag you can cover them with a tarp and when the sun comes out just uncover them my friend
I did this to my KO2 tires mounted on TJ one year later they still have show room shine and 0 tread wear, mind you it’s been parked in a heated garage
How could you do this one year ago when the video came out two months ago?
@@donthompson1650 There was previous video about applying the 303 only. This video here is "new and improved" over the last video.
I'm wondering how much improvement given the success of the 303-only method and the expense of the serum product. My tires are cheap, though. Maybe the serum makes sense on $500/tire setups.
I drive 5000 soft k a year and have had the same tires for over 10 years without any treatment and think if you drive nicely and park in a shaded place the tires should last a long time
Another great additional tip Mike. Thanks!
How exactly does this extend the life??
we have found the tires have even more heat resistance and UV protection with this method
It slows up the oxidation and vulcanizing of the rubber that makes it brittle and breakdown/ crumble. Did this on my truck tires and the look like new after 9000 miles in 100 Degree California weather and parked outside in the sun. It works! Traction is just fine, too. A 50,000 mile warranty tire could go 75,000, I reckon.
Thanks you Sweet Project Cars! You’re the best!
@@michaelm2502 The warranty has nothing to do with treadwear; it's all about manufacturer defects, nothing more. I've never had a tire last 75k miles (without 303 and a lack of alignment issues; 303 won't help if alignment is thrown off).
This was answered before you had asked!
Street bike tires will last like that if not abused
You got this my friend. Love your vids

For bike tires with tubes; do you recommend treating the tubes as well?
Hello, just put the tires out in the sun. Hoping this will help at least a bit with the extreme tire wear we are getting. Btw I've used your serum from the video where you make plastic shine. The 303, lotion and oil one. Hope that does not damage anything
Sounds great Simon! Also, we would never put out information in our videos that would cause damage to you or anything you have, with over 600 videos on our channel, that's not what we are about. Thanks. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Amazing, I just was not sure whether it's going to do the same job or its less effective if you put the johnson's lotion and oil in the mix. These are brand new tires, so I wonder how long they gonna last!
What is the reason to place them in the sun? Do dry the product? Or does it seal it so to speak?
Patrick warm rubber will absorb the conditioners much much better thats why you never do this in the winter or below 50F degrees. mike
Will this prevent patches from sticking if you need to get it repaired?
They use plugs to repair so no, you will have no problems. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
OK. I missed the part that tells me exactly what you are using, where we can buy it, and what exactly that stuff does for tires! Does it Harden the rubber?

This video couldn't have been uploaded at a better time :) I'm gonna be in the market for tires very shortly and I was wonderin' "how to pre-treat" .... Thank's Sweet Projects Car (and Julio) :)
You are very welcome Paula
I live in rainy Washington State (5-6 days of light rain per week). Will it work here? It seems to be more tailored for dryer climates?
First of all Bryson, I just have to ask, why would you live where there are that many days of rain and you can't get out to do anything? I just really don't understand when there are so many other great places to live. But going back to your question, this will work for you. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great rainy day ;) mad Mike the hammer SPC
In Australia it's $20 to $30 bucks to mount & balance (per wheel)
I used to do this with Son-of-a-Gun, back in the day.
Thanks for watching and sharing, we appreciate it. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Is putting them in the sun, for the heat of for the UV light ?
Warm rubber absorbs this amzn.to/2WQg0sB much better, making it that much more effective. Thank you for watching and asking Terri, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Well, do you know who carries that tire shine? Amazon doesn't carry it anymore. Love to try it just can't find it! Can ya help me?
Glad you got your answer in our other video Larry! Thanks so much for watching, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I thought tires wore out from the outside .How does spraying it inside slow down wear?
It's just one of the steps to make your tires last longer than ever. Believe it or not, tires dry rot from the insides too, that's why we do it. Thank you for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
How long to wait if I can only store them inside or just doing it the first time mounted on the vehicle ? ( I know it won't be as good because I cant get to the inside of the tire ).
Hello Steven, we are publishing a video today that will give you a better solution for your wheels, stay tuned. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars ...thanks Mike, will keep an eye open. 👍
Ha, this is very amusing, back it up with a 5 year follow-up.
I’ll be glad to become a member of your club!! So love all your great videos ♥️♥️
So, you may have explained as to how treating tires with 303 extends the life of tires, and sorry if you have to explain it again but how does spraying the inside of the tire help to extend the life of the tire since it isn't really exposed to the elements.
Jon keeping the tires soft and supple is the key, dry rubber wears faster as it dry rots slowly much like you skin you need moisturizers or you will end up a big epidermal dust pile lol
@@SweetProjectCars Okay that makes sense. Now, how was it decided that the tires now need to sit for a week after treating them with 303 versus just 12 hours, as what was mentioned in your first instructional video
Given the serum is rather expensive, what marginal benefits does it give that the 303 didn't give? I thought the 303 was extending tire life to over 100,000 miles per the last video. Thanks in advance, and thanks for both videos.
Durability. We are always looking for the newest technology to pass along to our viewers and we found this goo.gl/Eqjnp3 to be extremely durable and it's a once and done product. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks for doing what you do -- it is much appreciated. I'm testing the 303 on some older tires, and will revisit this video when I get some better tires.
Just got new tires in 30 to 40 degree weather. I have them in the house but my question is do I need to wait until spring to treat them so I can place them out in the sun or will winter sun do? I am not in a hurry to get the tires on as I don’t drive the car much and can wait if need be. Or, will being inside at 68 degrees work? Thanks.
Update: Well I guess this must have been a stupid question. I’m gonna go ahead and treat them inside and hope for the best. I’ll keep them inside for a month.
I want to say thank you for all you do for the community of this channel. Ery helpfully and awsome I appriciate it all extra tid bits for taking car of my vehicle. WOLF PEACE
Could I ask what is 303 I have never heard of it 🏴
This amzn.to/2WQg0sB and as always, all of the products/tools used in our videos can be found in the SHOW MORE of the videos description. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
have 1998 f150 w/brown interior. replacing all with grey. Super Clean to clean all ? 303 or lithium serum to finish ?
we would use the serum for that application
Is it possible to do this with tires that are less than a year old? I can't get at the inside now that they're mounted but i was thinking I could take the wheel off and do a deep clean on the tires and the treads and then put some 303 them and give them 24 hours. Would that work?
Absolutely it will work, Ankit! That's actually the best time to start protecting them, when they are new. Thanks for the question. Have a great day! mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks for reply! They're not exactly new though, probably have 7-8k miles on them :/
SPC, any difference between the 303 (30382) UV protectant and the 303 Products 30320 Aerospace Protectant? For that matter, is 303 the only product that does this? I just had a new set put on my 4Runner yesterday, and used the 30382. We'll see how it goes.
The 30382 works great you will love the results
215 miles later most of the rubber spikes are still there, or just shortened. I’ll try to update over time to see how it goes.
You are going to love the results my friend we have been doing it for years and have had fantastic results from this thanks for sharing
So the only area that will have wear will be where the sticker is... so you'll have that ole' cupping effect... 😂Oooops
Hello Ron we know that most people such as yourself know that they need to remove the sticker we did not want to waste time removing the sticker and or telling people they need to remove it and make them feel like they were idiots
@@SweetProjectCars True but you know as well as I do this is TH-cam and you are going to have that one idiot that's not going to not remove the sticker from the tire and then blame you for the result. If they can find an excuse they will.
😄
Great video and info!!!👍👍👍👍
I've never replaced a tyre on my car because of deterioration. Low tread is always the reason due to the number of miles I do. Is this treatment mainly applicable for tyres which do low mileage where age and UV exposure becomes more of a factor?
this treatment is to keep the entire tire soft and supple and with this they last longer so we have found over the years.
Won't it just wear off the tread as soon as it hits the pavement?
I think it permeates the rubber a few mils and ruggedized the road contact area. The tread wears down a bit, and you have to reapply.
Will doing this work on car bushings and engine mounts etc? If you could treat these it could save a lot of hassle, changing out bushings and especially stuff like engine mounts are a pain in the ass
You guys got a grip on this video
Did this with my tires already. Minus 1 week I think it was more like 3 weeks Before I got to mount them. Will retreat annually on the exterior only.
What I the other stuff you used... not the 303, but the other bottle?
It's this amzn.to/32EJYjV Thanks for watching and asking. Hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Hello
Which 303
The link was for marine
Is that indeed the one
30370
Or
30320
Thanks In advance
Great, materials currently unavailable and they don't know when or if they will be available
We just checked all links and they are available and working. Try again my friend. Thanks for the heads up, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Is it imperative that I keep them out in the sunlight? It’s been raining here lately.
Hi, I’ve been treating all my tires since watching your video. However, every time I go through a car wash, seems like they immediately wash off. Do you think it’ll still extend my tire life?
Once it's absorbed into the rubber, even after a car wash, it's still extending the life. We do suggest hand washing your car over automatic car washes, just to let you know. Thanks Alex! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
What you're seeing is basically the excess on the surface. Plastic and rubber are basically big sponges, the protectant absorbs into the pores as well even if the glossiness on the surface wears off
A week in the sun should have it all soaked in/dried out!
That has always been the best advice!
GREAT ! This is the first application.
Now, the periodic maintenance is... ?
Every 5k when you rotate spray the outside again and try not to drive on them for 12 hours

What is 303 ? Similar to UB40 and CRC, or what?
this amzn.to/2xfX905 is a stand alone product and nothing compares to it
can u use the serum only - you say it's much better than 303.
You can use whatever you desire, we are just showing you what our experience and investigation has shown us. Thanks. mad Mike the hammer SpC
I use to own a tire retreading factory making retread tires using good undamaged casing. I don't understand how often bit of spay will make your tire last longer. Very puzzled about this method
its much like how can they fly to the moon and better yet return them to the earth to the exact right locating for pick up it is amazing how that can be done much like the treatment we do to tires, it just works and works great thanks SPC Mike
@@SweetProjectCars my car is due for new tires so I am going to do your method in treating the tires. I've got nothing to loose but a lot to gain. Thanks for sharing all this info
I think the idea is that conditioned rubber is less likely to have micro chunks break off while driving than dry, unconditioned tires. All the testimonials I've read have been very positive, and I haven't read a negative one yet. I will give this a try and see what happens.
Hello, Mike;
Love ya' videos man, you just keep getting better, "Thank You!" for all you do.

What about using this method on used tires with maybe 1/2 their life still left?
No better time to start doing this process, you've got nothing to lose and all to gain. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So it needs to be the 303 marine UV protectant and not just the 303 UV protectant?
Love your videos, bo nonsense great hacks! And I have actually used some or most of them. The only problem for me is that I am based in the UK and all of your products are US specific. Could you please also find us links to the products I the UK? Or where they are not available, an alternative perhaps?
we usually do links for the uk like this one amzn.to/2n0uzLe
