Endurance Tire Dressings

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

This is how I do with my tires.
1. I got both Endurance Gel and NXT tire shiny spray (or you can use Aerosol Endurance).
2. Apply a good thick layer of Gel on all tires. Let them dry then wipe out with micro fiber towel. Please be aware you have to wipe it really clean other wise it will sling.
3. Drive around and let it sling (yes it will sling a little but this is very useful step to get extra gel out)
4. Wash your car and tires then dry it.
5. This is the best part. Spray A LITTLE NXT tire shine (or Endurance) "on a micro fiber towel" and wipe it on your tires. You will see your tires are shiny like baby.
6. Do step 5 again whenever you wash your car or you want your tire look great again.

I have been doing this for months and my tires are always shiny. Endurance Gel will keep your tires look black for months and spray version of tire shine will keep them look nice. I have not re-applied Gel version for over 6 months already. Because I only apply tire shine with MF towel so it will never sling besides one bottle of tire shine will last over a year.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Question:

Has the 'new' gel Endurance (G7516) replaced the 'old' Gold Class Gel Endurance (G7410)?

I see that the 'old is being offered in the Meg's store, but not shown in the new catalog.

Thank you

Merry Christmas...

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Always been a big fan of the Endurance tire shine. I picked up the spray bottle, figured it might be a little easier for me then the gel.

I havn't played with layering it up to see how high gloss of a shine you can get out of it. I did put it on kind of heavy and it still came out matte. Which is fine with me, looks great on the truck.

The only problem I am having is the spray bottle doesn't seem to work all that well. I have to shake it between sprays to get a good amount to come out of the bottle. I keep all of my products in doors, so the only time they are exposed to the heat or cold is when I am actually applying them.

I am probably going to try just pouring the product out of the container onto a pad until I use it all up. Then I am going to switch back to the gel.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

I'm concerned about this tire spray. I understand that overspray is to be wiped off. The reason for needing to clear the overspray should be to avoid unslightly results, not to avoid damage to the wheel.

I've found the overspray to be tough to remove and I am concerned it may damage the wheel finish if left in place. The residue that remains doesn't come off easily - I have found ammonia to be the best solvent.

I'm going back to Hot Shine.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Looks like a build-up of dirt and previous dressings.

I'd use something stronger to remove the build-up, like a dedicated wheel cleaner.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Just looks like dirt to me.
I would start again by thoroughly cleaning the tire first with APC or equivalent, then re-applying the dressing.

^^ Can you post a photo?

Here is a pic I took. Instead of a smooth shine where the lines are, there are specs and grit.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

I haven't tried the tigger version just yet, but I can't see it being bad.

Any interest in producing it in gallons?

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

I tried this product and have an issue with 1 of my tires. The other 3 are fine with a nice shine but 1 of my tires looks like the rubber is melting/rubber off. I haven't had a chance to clean the tire and see if the actual rubber is rubbing off or if it's the product that is rubbing off black.

I looked again and it actually looks like there are specks/dots instead of a smooth shine.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Now for the Endurance Spray: I honestly don't think that it should be called endurance because it does not give the type of shine that I have come to expect from using endurance gel for over a decade plus. The result a rather disappointing in that regard. However that good news is that it does give me that matte look that I want for my car with no sling at all and I will continue to use the gel on all the other cars in my family.

i agree, the shine isnt the same, i like a high shine tire dressing and the trigger version i wish produced a higher shine, but it does last through rains at least for me it did, i just love the fact that there is no sling and no runs on the tire that is why i will use this product every time unless the make the hot shine formula tire shine that will dry on the tire.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

I picked up a bottle of the Endurance tire spray yesterday and I was quite curious to see what level of gloss it would produce since I had suspected it to be a water based dressing.

Here are my impressions I would have to compare it to "Black magic" Titanium series "Matte finish tire dressing" the funny thing with that matte tire dressing is that when first applied it actually produces a nice semi gloss sheen for the first week.

Now for the Endurance Spray: I honestly don't think that it should be called endurance because it does not give the type of shine that I have come to expect from using endurance gel for over a decade plus.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

Bought the trigger version at Wal-Mart. Tried it on the Tahoe. Do not like at all. Very thick and hard to work with. The grape smell is way to strong.

I'll be sticking with Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Coating. Goes on very easy and is not thick, nor does it smell really strong.

Re: Endurance Tire Dressings

After trying both the aerosol and trigger spray "Endurance" products...I can say with all certainty...

Save your money.

Go buy All Season Dressing if you like the Aerosol and HyperDressing if you like the trigger spray. Put them in a pump sprayer and call it a day.

I don't see that the trigger spray lasts significantly longer. It may have some added polymers in it; but meh. Not enough to warrant the price over HD (plus HD has a lot of other uses).

As a long time Meg's customer and a HUGE fan of the old pre-VOC HotShine aerosol (which to me was the aerosol equivalent of the Endurance gel)...I can say that the new Endurance Aerosol and Triggers are a huge disappointment.

The aerosol discharges about twice the necessary amount, spattering way too much product on the tire. I always buff my tires after applying any dressing; but even after buffing this product down and letting it dry, it still managed to sling.
