ASD would be too shiny for his tastes. If you're looking for a long lasting tire product with a matte black finish, you might want to try out the Megs Ultimate Black Tire Coat aerosol.

Ok, Ok ... I don't have any D163, but I'll go put some Natural Shine on them if it will make you happy

Dressed tires are like a finishing touch. And I am sure you have some rubber seals and trim on the car that could benefit from it too.Originally posted by The Guz View PostLeave a comment:

I would, but the nasty, oxidized, clear-coat peeling rims hide the calipersOriginally posted by The Guz View Post
Well now that you mention it
. A little clean up and some black paint will make them look a lot better. Same with the calipers.Leave a comment:

That's the beauty of D163. You can control the shine. 1 coat will give that matte look. 2 coats will add more gloss. Lasts about 2-3 weeks. Let itdry for a few minutes and it won't sling.Originally posted by Don View Post

Re: Is there a trick to using Ultimate Quik Wax? I need help ...
Rarely, everything I've used is either too oily, too shiny or doesn't last. I prefer a matte/natural finish on the tires, the wife bought me some *Black Magic Tire Wet once and it's extremely shiny IF you spray it on and let it alone but it *dries* and will have runs in it like paint can, and if you try to buff it, it gets uneven and looks horrible. I like 303 and Megs Natural Shine, but they don't hold up on the tires past the first wash/rain.Originally posted by Eldorado2k View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Is there a trick to using Ultimate Quik Wax? I need help ...
With the Ultimate Paste Wax, I did it panel by panel, if I did the whole car, or even half the car at a time, it was a beast to remove, but I think I was applying it too thick. With the Ultimate Liquid Wax, which I have now, hopefully it will be easier to apply thinly and not be so finicky about how long I wait to remove it. I do know that many times if I don't do the whole car at once, I tend to peter out and not want to finish - especially if I have just done a detailed wash on the car. So even with the UQW, I tend to prefer to apply it to the whole car, then wipe it clean.Originally posted by davey g-force View PostLeave a comment:

Looks nice Don!
I remember when UQW was first released, there was some confusion on how to apply it, and Mike Philips said you could either apply as you did (apply to whole car, buff off whole car) or apply / buff off one panel at a time.
Personally, I find with UQW there is nothing left to buff off at the end, so I'd rather apply / buff off one panel at a time (with two separate MFs) to avoid the risk of marring or scratching the surface.Leave a comment:

Looks good to me. Seems like you got this one figured out. UQW/D156 is one of my favorite Meguiar's products. I actually just used it as a drying aid on my mom's Regal and on my Camaro SS. I should have taken a photo of how I was using it to give you an idea.
Those tires are begging for some D163 tire gel

Ok, not a problem, here they come ...Originally posted by The Guz View Post
Since I just washed the car yesterday, I used UQD to clean off any dust that was lying on the surface. Then using the UQW, I misted it on a panel and spread it around with a clean, dry MF (I gave the mf a few spritzes of UQW before starting) and spread it around on the panel, making sure I got complete coverage. I went from panel to panel without buffing off the haze/residue until I finished the entire car. Then taking a new, clean mf, I buffed the car panel by panel until the haze was gone, going in the in the same direction around the car as I did applying it. Once I had removed all the excess UQW, I buffed the windows with the application towel without adding any more UQW, then buffed them again with the dry towel. Then I sat back for an hour or so to let it 'set up' a bit before taking pictures. Sorry for the quality of the pics, they were taken with my neighbor's camera-phone. I wish the sun had been out, but as you can see in some of the reflections, it is a pretty cloudy day ...
So, what do you think?
Just a pic of the tires, I don't dress them, I just clean them every wash using All Wheel and Tire Cleaner
The roof
These are REAL clouds on the hood, not a cloudy finish
