On the one car in particular I would like my tires to last as long as possible because they are exact OE as original in 1989 and they are no longer made. They must have stopped production sometime after 1999 when I was fortunate enough to get them. On a Sunday driver where each mile is driven with extreme care ,a product for tires as I described is important to me.

On the Mustang, always, although I wait til we get to a show if that's the destination. For cleaning, Westley's in the can (the foamy one with the scrub brush part on the top), but it's discontinued. I stock piled don't know what I'll use when it's gone! For dressing, Meg's gold class (the purple stuff).
Since we just bought a new Baja as our DD, I'll say on this one-almost everytime in the summer (I suspect anyhow, only had it a week today). It's just too cold out to worry about dressing the tires in the winter here, I'm just getting feeling back in my fingers from doing the door jambs with QD an hour ago (we go through a touchless car wash for the main body, but ya gotta do the doorjambs by hand)....brrrr, I hate the cold!

I almost always use Black Magic Tire Wet after using Bleache White. The only time I don't add tire dressing is if it's going to rain in a day or two.

I always clean and dress my tires at every detail. I was using Meguiar's Extra until I heard it was going away. Currently I'm using Citri-Gel until my stash runs out. When that runs out, I was planning on using APC+ diluted 4 to 1. Of course, that's gone away too.
For dressing the tires, I usually use a water based product, but sometimes use a gel if I'm in the mood.
Mike, is Meguiar's keeping Extra? I really liked the stuff on tires. I wish it was available in gallons.Last edited by Boss_429; Mar 13, 2005, 02:16 PM.Boss_429

I am starting to become partial to All Season on tires, it has a nice shine to it. I picked up a 6 pack of 32oz spray bottles with 2 foaming spayers from Sam's (great deal). I put the ASD in a foaming bottle and it applies more evenly and uses less product then just go over it with a tire swipe."Washing for the People"

The Insane Shine seems to have really good durability. I have not applied it in about a month and there is still some left on the tires, although not as glossy. And we have had a lot of slush, salt etc. on the roads during this time.
I bought another can at Pep Boys. I wish it came in a trigger (non-aerosol) spray version. The trigger spray works better on windy days, almost no overspray.

I was surfing some tire websites today and I noticed that some Goodyear tires have something called "Permablack." It is supposed to maintain that new tire look. It is used in some of their Assurance line of tires.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I wonder how it affects the use of tire cleaners and dressings. Does it make them obsolete?
