Endurance Tire Dressings

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

And do also remember that any tyre gel / restorer will react on different wheel fabricants since different rubber mixtures are used.
One important note is also that you need to clean the tyre and DRY it before applying any gel, spray etc.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

I love the gel! Question I have started to use this on my wheel wells as well as the black trim around my truck. I love the way it makes it all shine and gives it that deep rich black color, is this a bad product to use for this?

The gel should be fine for use this way, as should the trigger spray. The aerosol we would strongly urge you to NOT use on trim as there is a chance it could cause some problems due to the difference in formulation. Basically, it's the stuff that makes it an aerosol that may not play well with trim. The odds are slim, but we'd still caution against it. Using the gel or trigger spray on wheel wells may not be the most economical way to go, but that's a decision for you to make for yourself.

Ok, dumb question alert....

How does this compare to the Detailer line of dressings?

Just curious since last fall I picked up ASD, Silicone-Free & Hyper........

The answer can get pretty complex here, especially since there are vast differences between the Detailer line products you mention!! ASD is a solvent based dressing, Hyper is water based with variable dilution ratios, and Silicone-Free is, well, free of silicone so it's great in a body shop environment. With the Endurance line the aerosol would be most similar to ASD since they're both solvent based and the trigger would be most similar to Hyper, but with a major difference - Endurance trigger spray has a polymer load similar to Ultimate Protectant so it will hold up better in the rain than a more basic water based dressing like Hyper.

Mike, just a question, the Endurance Tire Spray is a SOLVENT-based tire dressing, right? I opened the bottle and I was surprised that it was WHITE, like most water-based dressing.

I was really expecting like clear with a purple tint.

As noted above, the aerosol is solvent based (it basically has to be since water based products don't usually deliver well in true aerosol format) but the trigger spray is indeed water based. But it's water based with a strong polymer load, like Ultimate Protectant, so as noted above it will hold up against rain better than your typical water based dressing will. Of course, proper cleaning and prepping of the sidewall is important here.

I tried out the new Endurance Spray, and it looked great... until it rained.

I used it on 3 separate vehicles last week and the tires looked great until it rained 2 days afterwards and the shine was completely gone. Not too happy about that... NXT Insane shine held up better for me.

Which spray, aerosol or trigger? The trigger is water based with polymers, as noted above. But if the tires are not well cleaned before application then the polymers may not be able to fully bond, and the product will then behave more like a traditional water based dressing.

Aside from the spray and aerosol, is there anything new with the gel? Also, I thought silicone-free dressings were better for the tires. I have used it for quite some time though and it is pretty good.

The gel is virtually unchanged. Silicone in and of itself is not a problem whatsoever with tire dressings.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

i cant wait to use this. I love the hot shine aero, so i cant wait. To bad i usually by a few cans at a time so i have to go to a few more car shows, to buy some of the new line. I have to thank Darin for getting me excited about the line at SEMA last year-and he gave me something out of his personal collection to use on my wheels at show.

How did you clean the tires before applying? Because if you don't, no tyre restorer will stick..

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

i love this product , i have a lot of grooves in my tires and no matter how heavy i applied it after driving on the highway there was no sling and not even runs on the tire and i know what your saying about the rain cause it happened to me but if you wash the tires with just car soap they will be back again, the tire dressing is just covered by the road grime and dirt.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

are you sure you bought the new endurance gel, some stores still have the old gel version on the shelves and will try to sell the old stuff off before they put the new gels on the shelves, the autozone i go to still has the old gel on the shelves but they do have the trigger.

Yup! Like I said, I had to travel the earth to find the new version! I found the older stuff at the local Napa auto parts and the aerosol at Wally Mart, but my Autozone had one last bottle of the '11 formula! Phew, got lucky!

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

It contains acrylic polymers which are known for endurance and proper curing.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

So it's not just the label that is new on the bottle? Is it a whole new formula?

the new endurance and some tech from ultimate protectant so it dries on the tires like UP dries on trim.
