Anybody ever use this stuff?

no but it looks good

 

So no one here has ever used this tire dressing before?

 

Nope. Never tried that one. I have, however, tried some Hi-Temp products (local shop had a few).

Honestly, I wasn't very impressed with the couple of products that I tried (one was a degreaser and another called Sap Zap, I think). Neither stood up and knocked me off my feet... as such, I've never tried any of their other products.

I can, however, recommend a FANTASTIC water-soluable/dilutable dressing... Meguiar's Hyper Dressing. It's got that killer grape smell to it as well. In all honesty, out of all the products that Meguiar's manufacturs, I think that this one is my favorite.



The reason that I like this product is because you can mix it to your specifications. In short, if you want HIGH gloss, you go with a 1:1 mix (water:chemical). If you want matte, you go with a 4:1. It's just very versatile and offers very little sling if you apply correctly and allow ample dry time.

If you want to give it a whirl without buying the full gallon, give www.autodetailingsolutions.com a try. They sell it in a small 'spray bottle' size so that you can give it a whirl without forking out the bucks for a full gallon (which is typically the only way that Meg's sells it).

I also like Megs Hyper Dressing for all the reasons mentioned above. It's very versatile. It's great on tires, inside wheel wells, underbody, engines & plastics, etc. It's very cost effective when you take into account how many gallons of product can be made from dilution.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll try the Meguiar's

 

As an addition to my post --

I think that ADS sells it concentrated - not diluted. Thus, if you get a spray bottle of it, you may want to transfer whatever percentage of that bottle into another container as the bottle contents are concentrate (you'll have to dilute to your preferred ratio).

You might double check this but, I'm nearly certain that is how Rick sells it.

 

you are correct, sir .. even the sample comes as concentrate.

 

I thought so... as such, you're buying CONCENTRATE! How cool is that?

So, you've got FOUR bottles of dressing at 4:1 or two at 1:1... that's a pretty great deal in all honesty. In fact, I might need to do a little bit of calculating...
