You don't have to buy mine, but it is water based, and the best I have found to date. The reason dealers use solvent based dressings is for one reason /the shine. But what they won't talk about is the fact of what you just described. I did a little test a long time ago, I put a piece of rubber in a glass jar along with a solvent based dressing. Over night the dressing was black. Why? because the petroleum (solvent) destroys rubber over prolonged use. I'm convinced the tire companies are in charge of those products. Plus it will dry out the rubber, and the sling from over spray will stain your paint. My dressing has a satin look, I think it is more natural on a tire. Not to mention it is safe if you get it on your wheels, paint etc. It kills me when I go to car shows and see people using that sticky, guey, slimely stuff. education starts here. One car at a time, Now you know. welcome to professional grade. Gary [?]
