How to apply dressing

[turbomangt]

First you can read my post on the prior thread (tire dressings) now I will add a little. Most of you know that I track all comments on my products, and try hard to ensure ALL are satisfied. Recently I had a person buy one of all my products and his feedback was all fantastic, but my dressing was average. I asked how he applied it and it was done incorrectly. he sprayed it on a dry tire and removed it with an applicator pad. WRONG. Here is the correct method. Tires should be clean and WET. yes wet, while it is wet, you spray on the dressing (don't forget the wheel wells.) applying or removing with a pad or rag only takes off 50% or more of the dressing. allowing it to air dry permits the product to soak into the rubber. water based dressing actually gives new life to tires when applied correctly. (opposed to solvent which destroy rubber) as the product evaporates, you will see a HUGE satin finish appear before your eyes,. I'm sure I have that on the label as well. but I wanted to post this just so everyhone knows. Gary

Gary,
Any way to get the stuff without being a spray? I seldom have a perfectly calm day and spray dressings end up all over my car.

Thanks

Terry,

I'm sure Gary knows of some but in the mean time, I received a packet in a goody bag at a show that had a gel like substance that was a dressing for tires. The packet said this gel stuff was supposed to last for weeks or even months and I tried a little bit but it was like black shoe polish gel and touching anything else except the tire proved to be a wakening experience. Took a long time for that stuff to come off my hands.

I have some stuff that is not spray but I don't know if it is water base or not.

The stuff Crewzin mentioned in Gel form was sovlent based. You can see how hard it is to get off your hands. as an experiment, take some of that dressing on a towel, and wipe it on the tire using firm pressure. Now look at the rag, see how black it is, the dressing is eating or disolving the rubber. Not a good thing, Cal, I can send you a fitted cap in place of the sprayer, so you can use an applicator pad, just make me a note when you order. Gary
