Question :
What tyre dressing do you currently use and why? (availability, shine, longevity, sling resistance?)

Favorite dressing ever used if different from current?

Shiny or matte?

Thanks. Most vehicles have the potential to shine. Your paint would have to be in extremely poor condition to not. And if it's at that point then it's time to paint over. :)

Ok. Only solution you've tried?
That really does foam well. The gallon lasts quite a long time too. Tried any basic soap in it yet? Like the Meguiars or Mothers ? Just normal OTC stuff.

The DP foams well, but I hate that mint scent. It's like mint mixed with something..and not something good.
Honeydew is one of my fav foam gun intended soap.
And nothing wrong with using it in the 'ricer' foam gun. There are actually times I prefer to do that actually. I can see the need to keep both types of foam guns around honestly..but daiz just me and my strange tinking.

Daiz an insane amount dred. I sure most people using like 1 or 2oz. :)
But I guess it depends on how you set the foam gun too.

The foam then AG shampoo is a good combo for dirty vehicles. Dat AG shampoo real slippery.
