You have quickly become my top car detailing related content creator. You try to stay as fair as possible, you aren't always pushing us to buy anything, but give us an option with your store. More importantly. I've seen you use every product you've mentioned and or reviewed. The integrity of your channel is by far the biggest reason I follow you. I appreciate the content release.
Wow thanks so much. I really appreciate that!
Out of the four I think the Cerakote looks the best. I'd rather have a consistent and uniform finish and look than what the other dressings show. My personal favorite is Dura Dressing. I like your choice of tire.
ha thanks! Yeah for me the cerakote is looking the best as well. I will do the update and include the dirt road test as well to see how it repels the dust
Carpro darkside has been outstanding for me. Very good look, and more importantly, very durable even if it rains.
I have it so ill definitely be including it in the test!
@@imjoshvcarpro dark side, nighthawk brand USA SGS, KC tire glaze, up against cerakote would be a great series.
I like the matte look so the cerakote is my pick. Although, I’d be interested to see the suds lab diluted. Can be a money saver. I think Chemical guys VRP, Jay Leno’s dressing & black magic gel should be put in the contest. All available at Walmart.
Good idea! Ill probably include a diluted suds lab in a future comparison cause i think youre right and could be a good solution as well!
Real world daily driving is the best way to test so i like your style
Thanks!
Absolutely the best detail content creator if I want detail tip this is the place for me you are always so helpful Josh
A product that doesn't seem to get much attention in this space and is rock solid IMHO is Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. You can dilute 1:1 per directions (but also as high as 2:1 or even 3:1). By diluting it gives a nice matte black light sheen type of finish which I prefer over the high gloss look. I use it in a continuous spray bottle (an old Dawn Powerwash bottle works fine for this. Their bottle is made by FLAIROSOL). I spritz a little bit directly on the tire and then brush it in with a little 2" synthetic paint brush you can get for like $3-$4.
I bought a gallon of the Opti-Bond back in 2020 for like $40 on Amazon and I still have nearly half of it left. It works so well and is so economical that I've yet to have the need to try anything else (despite wanting to). It's currently $22.99 for a 32 oz bottle (the gallon doesn't seem to exist anymore).
PS - it also works through a spray gun & air compressor. I just find that the FLAIROSOL and paint brush method to be just as quick and effective.
I’ve used that stuff a couple of times and man I was super happy & impressed. The longevity was great too as well as hydrophobic properties to help with self cleaning.
I’ve been using a paint bush as an applicator and i absolutely love it! After using it I store it in a plastic paint brush cover.
Hydrophobic properties and resistance to dust are important too.
Some dressings, especially thick gels, can get tacky and hold onto to dust in the air.
EDIT: Commented before you mentioned driving thru dirt.
Haha, yea thats my exact thought as well and i think the dirt driving will be a good way to show that
The best ones absorb into the tire and leave it dark and dry. I hope in the next round he includes Hybrid Solutions, also available everywhere.
You seem like a really great guy; I love watching you and Pan, (and also Nick and Yvan). You explain things very clearly and have an attention to detail that is satisfying. Aloha!!
Thanks so much! I always try to be as clear as possible and try to keep it simple so im glad that comes through. Ive had the pleasure of getting to hang out with Pan, Yvan, and Nick and they are great guys
I just got the griots Ceramic Tire Dressing and it is now my fav from the my older ts2, black on black that ive been using for 15 years back and forth on the last 2
Awesome ill check that one out for the test!
After seeing your SudsLab interview I got the suds lab T3 like you used in this comparison. It has become my go-to tire dressing. I first did the 4:1 dilution but found myself adding more and more product and while I honestly don't know the current ratio, I like the results. I'm probably around 1:1 at the moment. I have a Jeep Wrangler with off-road tires and this product works really well! I have a long bristled brush that I spray it into and then apply to the tires. It allows me to get the product between the tread blocks and around the lettering while keeping it off my wheels. I also like the smell and the way I can get a more "natural" and new-looking finish on my tires. It also works on my wife's SUV tires in the same way. Great product and lasts about 2-3 weeks.
Man I’ve learnt so much watching your channel. I salute you 🫡
Really like the look of the Cerakote. I drive a truck and have never been a fan of the high shine on all that sidewall.
Would be interesting to see if you include Shine Supply decked out in this series.
OG Tire Dressing, Geyon Tire and AMMO Mud should be on your list.
I really like the look of the tire with Cerakote! I’ve been using Adam’s Aerosol Tire Shine on my car (Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires) and have been very, very happy with it. I think the tire with Cerakote looks just like my tires with the Aerosol Tire Shine. I’d love to see you test that product next. It seems like it’s quite different than the “regular” Adam’s Tire Shine that you tested here. I spray onto a microfiber applicator and spread it around. No overspray that way. It doesn’t sling or attract dirt. Tires are nice and clean after a wash - looks like I could skip reapplication if I was in a hurry.
Great videos! Thanks!
Cerakote looks great. I've been very impressed with their products. Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant and Headlight Restoration Kit are both extremely easy to use and produce spectacular results. I live in Ontario, Canada but my nearest USA Walmart is only a 30 minute drive away. Nice to know Cerakote is available there.
Cerakote is CLEAN. I used Adam’s for a while and the less I used would knock down that shine. I’m gonna try the cerakote 👌🏼
Team cerakote. All their stuff is good and lasts forever
Adams Tire Armor is the best bang for buck on the market. You gotta test it. It's insane in terms of look and longevity.
Great video as always!! There are so many different dressings now to chose from!!! Thanks! Looking forward to what you try next!!! Car looks great!!
Thanks so much!
It's the natural look of the Cerakote for me. Not too shiny and no too dull. Up next try the Chemical guys tire dressing. They have 2 now I think.
They have a lot for sure, but they also just released a brand new one that ill also be testing!
I would go with the Cerakote, I might purchase it after I use up my two bottles of Armorall Extreme tire shine, which is much glossier and wet looking than any of your testers, but doesn't last as long.
Should test P&S Dynamic Dressing and/or P&S Shine All!
Man I remember how much I loved hot shine when I was a kid 😂. If you’ve never tried it- nanoskin white lightening. Just got my first gallon of it and love it
Great video!!! Awesome review!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Josh, Cerakote Tire Shine & Protectant got a great look....... Thumbs up
I agree, really natural and nice! We will see how it holds up
Really liking the Cerakote! I usually prefer a little more gloss but, can't deny how good it looks. CG VRP and CarPro Perl has been my go-to for the longest time. I just recently purchased Turtle Wax's Hybrid Graphene Acrylic Tire Shine to try out.
I'm just now finishing up my spray bottle of the Hybrid Solutions tire shine and realized it's lasted me two years. I've been very pleased with it and hope you have the same results!
Out of these four, I like the look of the Cerakote the best. I would prefer a slightly darker look, but the consistency is great.
I usually use the Adam's Graphene Tire Shine, and have been very happy with the results. I'd like to see that one in one of your upcoming tests to see how it compares.
I definitely liked the Cerakote. I actually liked both on the driver's side. I do wander if that had anything to do with the position of the sun. 🌞
Suggested products (in no order):
TW Hybrid Solutions
Griots Tire Shine
CarPro Darkside
Gyeon Q2 Tire
Ammo Mud Tire Shine
ExoForma PermaShine
Thank you!! I have some and I’ll get the others ordered
@@imjoshv Thanks!
Price (including bulk) matters too. For “weekend warriors”, who cares if Product A lasts 2x as long as Product B if Product B has similar properties and is 1/4 the cost. Now for a professional detailer, you mainly want to focus on longevity and not other properties (hydroponics and resistance to dust) as customers want to see the product last (not too long so they come back for more 🤑).
Best looking - Ceracote 🙂 Please include it in the next round, Josh.
I like the Cerakote so far, love how even it looks. I normally love a glossy tire, but it has to be consitent and that is where the problem usually lies. I love Adam's Graphene Tire Dressing and I also believe it or not do like Meguiar's Endurance Gel (if applied correctly and evened out). When done right, I do not have the sling issues that people reportedly did not like about that Gel.
I bought the car guys tire shine and that works great. It can be very shiny if you spray on direct or semi shine if you rub it on. Comes with an applicator too.
I tried the chemical guys tire dressing.it worked good on my car.applied it with a micro fiber sponge.lasted a good amount of time.
I know it’s part one but I found the best product for me. Turtle wax hybrid solutions graphene acrylic tire shine. Nice and black. Not too shiny. Lasts.
As far as tire shine, I like using Pro Wax Blue Ice, because it is very reasonable priced. Last time I ordered, it was $30 a gallon. For me, it last between washes. It's all about "Bang for the Buck" if you are doing this for a business...
I’d like to see Turtle Wax Hybrid solution : Graphene Acrylic Tire shine in this mix and don’t forget about Stoners : Tire Finish 👍. This of course if you have time. Most of thank you Josh for all you contribute to the detailing community 🫡👀🤜🏽
Cerakote finished the best, but...i'll never trust/buy Cerakote again after their Trim coating.
I had to replace trim, and over a year later i'm still waiting for the rest of it to fade away.
I've used Darkside (gets more durable after a few applications), Ethos Graphene (matte, even finish, lasts a week or two), and i have CG Silk Shine that i've used for years previous. Honestly, Silk Shine is great until it rains. It's been on for over a week and a half (no rain), washed with a rinseless, and still looks great. C,mon Josh, i know you have yourself some Silk Shine... lol
Man i miss this Josh's type of videos, more of these please. Im currently using Meguiars Hot Shine, im just using 3 sprays on the applicator, usually last a week and a half and a week if theres rain out here in Philippines
I like the slight shine from the adams and suds lab,I use both but currently have chemical guys vrp on my truck and looks great.
Nice! Ill include VRP in this as well
Cerakote. Looks the most even and still consistent. I'd love to get an update on their Ceramic coating as well. Keen to see how Cerakote hold up.
Hot shine, looks like it was rapidly applied by a side of the road Car wash. Last place for me.
The Sudslab looks like a great cost option.
Adam's about the same as sudslab.
Great series. I really would like to see the Hybrid Solutions graphene tire shine in your test. I personally have used it a lot, and while it isn't the easiest to apply, it self levels well and seems to last 2-4 weeks, even with some light rain. If it could be compared to CarPro Darkside directly that would be great!
I'd like to see Chemical Guys Tire Kicker tire shine be put into the mix. Also found at Walmart.
For me, that first one is the jam. New to the channel and I dig what you do 👍
Thanks so much and welcome to the channel!!
So far, I like Adams Graphene. Again, I clean the crap out of my tires first using Brake Buster diluted 4:1 with a foamer. But I only clean my tires once a month.
Nice! Ill definitely be including the Graphene option in the test
Cerakote is the best. Throw out the other 3.. 😂
I like to see CarPro Darkside, Perl and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic Tire Shine Coating
Great video Josh! I'm not a fan of the blotchy look with the Adams Tire Shine and Meguairs Hot Shine. The Suds Lab T3 looked really good with it's shine, but the Cerakote Tire Shine actually looked the best overall even though I'd rather see more shine. I'm surprised about the Meguairs Hot Shine. I use that one on my Alfa Romeo and it always looks great. I apply it with a round pad rather than spraying directly on the tire and the shine looks perfect.
#1 cerakote & #2 suds lab look the best out of those 4, adams takes 3rd on the podium. cant wait for the longevity results & from my experience I'm bettin cerakote takes the cake!! however... i use turtle wax graphene tire shine on my car & it's the best I've used so far so put that in the lineup for future tests!!😊😊
car guys tire shine from Amazon, Adams vrt vs ceramic vrt, to name a few and personally, I've had great durability with the cerekote it just smells like Vinger. Anyway great series and I love how in-depth you got.
#1 Cerakote
It looks so even and nice
Totally agree
I have been using Black Magic Tire Wet for years. Give that one a test. Usually $15-20 per bottle.
Agreed on the Cerakote looking best. IMHO, I don't like tires that scream TIRE SHINE! Give me a nice, clean and well dressed tire over the super greasy look.
Thanks for all of the reviews, content, tips & tricks over the years. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! Yea i agree with you on my personal cars for sure. However many of my customers want a bit more shine so its nice to have options
I would definitely give chemical guys VRP a shot. I picked it up after watching Pan do a video on it.
Cerakote ftw! I’ve been using chemical guys VRP with great results and versatile (trims & rubber mats)
I’m torn! I think I tend to lean towards more glossy. I like it to be obvious that my tires have been dressed. I’ve been using Adam’s Graphene Tire Spray. It lasts about a week or so depending on how much I’m driving.
Angelwax Enigma Elixir is my favorite tire dressing.
By far the Cerakote was the clear winner. I used to like that "slick as snot" silicone look, when I had my first car, but that just attracts dirt and slings all over even after letting it sit a day. You have to work it to avoid that, and that cuts that gloss. I avoid the silicone nonsense altogether. Might have to get a kit if Cerakote and try it out.
Great stuff as alwaya! Cerakote looks best... but that might just be because matte finish looks better on camera...? I typically like a little shine on my wheels/trim. I've been using VRP diluted/sprayed and I've been pretty happy with that.
I’ve been using Chemical Guys tire kicker tire shine applied with a pad for the last year or so. I believe I’ll be switching to Cerakote when the current bottle goes empty. That clean, matte/semi gloss finish is what I want! With the Chemical Guys I’ve been applying it as smooth and even as possible, then after giving it time to dry I go over all the tires with a towel to knock the shine down some.
Cerakote is a clear winner here. 👍
I think so too!
Josh my Adam’s is yellowish-green 👍. I also like Adam’s VRT too
My vote is for the Cerakote.
I've been using the Adams Tire shine. I live in a area that has high dust and the Adams doesn't attract the dirt and I love the tires natural look afterwards, slightly dark with a matte finish.
Great input!
The cerakote is 👌🏼
Yeah, while I'm skeptical of Cerakote claims, that product is yielding a very uniform and natural appearance in your video, Josh. Always curious to see this weeks from now as time/miles accumulate.
As always, great information and attention to fairness. As a truck guy, what tricks do you use for the large sidewall blocking of an A/T or even M/T tire? I don't care for the direct spray method because of having to re-clean the wheels, but honestly, that's just me being lazy.
I usually use VRP its more of a matte color which I like and its water base.
Same here also competitive price if you get a gallon of it
Another great video Josh and I was wrong I do like the Sudslab and would you give Jay Lenos tire care thanks you are the best
Can you please add Meguiar’s Endurance Tire Gel the purple color? I love the product and although I’m careful not to over apply it, I still get a lot of tire sling all over my show cars. Nowadays I just don’t use any tire dressing in fear of getting tire sling all over the body panels.
Maybe you can also please do a sling test on all of the tire dressing as that is what was missing from this video as it’s a huge concern for most people.
Thank you and great video!
Test adams graphene tire dressing, i use it all the time on clients cars. Looks amazing in my opinion
I put the sudslab on my wife's car, I did apply 2 coats 30 minutes apart and they look amazing. It's only been 2 days since I applied it but time will tell. Also the degreaser works great.
Suds Lab has some great products and its nice they are so easily available in Walmart stores
The Adam’s in my experience after several days cures into a nice deep matte black; that gloss will dissipate after a day or so.
I like Superior cover all from AutoZone bought one day in a jam and was impressed with the longevity and most of all for me very little to no sling
Just an idea but how about dilutable dressings. I feel like that would take forever but just an idea. Meguiars hyper dressing I’ve always known the price around a 100 but it’s 45 on car supplies warehouse and like 60 on Amazon I believe. And dynamic dressing from P&S. I always hear that the dressings are dilutable but every time I dilute a dressing I always see it as not effective or the highest dilution is 1-1. Great video Josh!
Would like to see this test on the Rebel. I have the Rebel so would like to see it on the bigger knobby tires, Cerakote 1st purely for looks followed by SudsLab for looks and ability to be diluted.
definitely try cover all from oreilys aerosol can
The best dressing I have used so far was Lone Star Matt dressing. Long lasting and a nice matt finish. Problem it looks like they only make gloss finish now and no longer matt. Not a fan of shiny tires.
I’ve been interested in seeing a test on the McKees 37 ceramic tire coating!
Cerakote is winner for me
I agree at this point for sure! Looks really good
Walmart also has a turtle wax tire shine called wet n black tire shine it’s pretty cheap at $5 23oz it’s like a basic water based dressing won’t last too long especially after some rain but most water based don’t. It says to spray on tire directly but like you josh I like using an applicator and I’ve had no sling and it has good sheen look to it
Cerakote looks best to me. I like the natural matte finish look. Maybe include McKees or Wolfgang in the next one
Noted, Ill get those ordered thanks!
I would like to see you try the superior products one. That brand seems to have solid products at a completive price.
Coming soon! I just ordered a bunch of stuff from them
I’d have to say I like the cerakot most I’d love for u to show the CARPRO Darkside pan the organizer recommended it and I’ve been considering going with that
The cerkote looks the best, possibly just because because it's so even. I usually use adams graphene tire dressing.
Tried majority of them. Hands down the Maguiar's Endurance Tire Spray (purple can) . Its not matt enough to look like you washed your car and forgot the tire shine and shiny enough to look like its wet. Perfect shine. Always gets to ask me what I use. Also its easy to clean/remove and doesn't attract dust/ dandalion fluff.
Do you spray on to an applicator and apply or spray direct?
@@imjoshvapplicator. I already gave away most of my tire spray to friends like 10 different bottles. 😂 waste of money but u gotta do what u want 😂
I hate the silicone based cuz it actually picks up dust. That's why took a while to find my product. I want shiny but not likes its wet, but majority of them attracts dust and also hard to wash. Sticks into ur brush
I would love to see turtle wax hybrid solutions tire shine vs carpro darkside!
Can you add Nanoskin BLUE DRESS Premium Dressing to your list.
They also sell jay lenos garage that you can for 7/8 dollars at times. I’ve started using it. Real world, put it on my wife’s 4 runner tires. Kind of heavy. Minimal amount of sling on the running boards. Has lasted three weeks.
I often find "weird stuff happening" when I allow my extraterrestrial friend to write my video monologue. Or, when I don't know what I'm talking about and run my mouth too much.
From my experience, i don't like microfiber applicators when applying tire dressing. Only Foam because the microfiber takes away from the shine, if thats what you looking for.
So Jay Lenos Tire Shine, the actual tire shine is outstanding lasts a while and is water based. It’s like a hidden gem!!!!
Try it I promise you’ll love it
Cerakote looks very natural. Similar to CarPro
Silk and shine from chemical guys and Crystal are my go to tire shine.
Ill include them thanks!!!
I've been using Black Magic and the only thing I don't like about it is that it foams up at the spray cap causing somewhat a mess on your hands.
Can we see results for aquagloss from superior products
Aqua gloss 1:1
CoverAll from superior products is also one of the best products out there its solvent based and if you like water based better superior products also has aqua gloss that is also pretty good
@ Josh, when are you going to do a video on the big boy blower?
Josh I need your expertise on bringing back the gloss on my faded Piano black window trim on my2007 Acura TL Type S. I’m assuming the fade came about from UV rays and high alkaline soaps over time.
