As far as tires go, Lacquer thinner is safe to use once and a great while. If you’re applying a tire coating, in theory, you should only have to do it once. I would never use lacquer thinner on plastic trim or inside a vehicle. Those surfaces should be prepped with diluted isopropyl alcohol. Even though lacquer thinner is petroleum based, it is not like it’s cousin mineral spirits, and will not leave any residue behind, so it will clean with out impeding a tire coating from bonding.
I am also trying this product for a second time. It is morbid curiosity that keeps me experimenting with it as it is labor intensive for so many coats and just doesn't fit into my business model if it doesn't last as long as they claim. Interested on seeing your results
Have you tried Fireball (Orange)? I like my tires shiny and was wondering if it lasts very long. I am currently using Adam's Graphene Tire Dressing and although I cleaned & dried it, it does not last very long. Thnx.
The only Fireball tire product I’ve tried is Tire Janus. I did a video with it here th-cam.com/video/vzRH5g4IFTY/w-d-xo.html. I’ve seen Adams graphene tire dressing but never bothered with it. How long does it roughly last?
@@TurnerMobileDetailing When I tried Adams and cleaned the tires very well, it lasted three weeks. It was the Graphene type. I wonder if graphene is just hype. Or if my expectations are too much. I ONR my car everytime I come home. Thnx.
@@dtna thanks for the info, I think graphene made ceramic coatings prettier to look at with tighter water beading, but that’s it, and really, water sheeting is better than beading anyway. Graphene seems mostly like a buzzword gimmick.
We have a Q & A section on our site: Q: What is the best way to prep and remove other protectants? A: Just do the following: Interior: This may require multiple cleanings with window cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Always try a small test area first because these products can damage surfaces. Big but here! If you have use 'protectants' repeatedly on interior surfaces then we DO NOT RECOMMEND using DASH. In this case the interior plastics and vinyl will be saturated with silicone and solvents which will block a proper bonding of the DASH. Exterior: You can simply give it a good wash and wait a couple of weeks. Typical protectants are designed to fail quickly. Many have asked about 'stripping' previous protectant with use of petroleum distillates. This is not a good idea and could worsen the surface prep and damage plastics. With tires the volatile chemicals will pull the embedded synthetic wax to the surface. These waxes will act as a barrier and prevent RENEW PROTECT from forming a covalent bond into the substrate.

@@TurnerMobileDetailinguses product and wonders why it doesn’t last as advertised. Literal company replies explaining why. Proceeds to argue that they are wrong about the product they designed 🤷♂️
I typically go between Adams Wheel and Tire, Meguiars Non-Acid, and P&S Brake Buster depending on what is cheaper when I need to stock up. I might give a slight edge to Adam’s tho.

One treatment is all you need. We don't recommend exceeding two.

always find these types of products are all hype on longevity. I just ordered darkside... I will be happy with a month
We’ll we’ll see how this holds up this time. I’m currently trying out darkside too.
No hype here. We been producing these products since 2007 and introduced ceramic hybrid in 2015. They wear first designed for use on aircraft.
hey what is your go to "tire" cleaner?
