I’ve had a bottle of this stuff for no joke, 10 years. Still works. Honestly use it in small amounts, wipe the tire down with a rag after and it will last MONTHS!
Totally agree. Common sense.
I've had the same bottle for years.
So tru
Everybody loves raymond when he cleans his tires...
Sounds more like “Alan Alda” from tv series M.A.S.H. 😃😃😃😃😃
Omg!! Lol Yes!!
Now I can’t unhear it 😆
I put on as much as I can then just drive around and sling it all over the passing cars.
You’re a true American hero
Hahahaha
LOL
You've gained a subscriber! Clear, concise and no "acting" like you get with some channels. How a detailing channel should be, thanks for the info!
Nice video again, Scott.
BTW, tyre sipes refer to the deliberately made cuts on the tyre treads. Their purpose is to increase wet, snow and ice traction by creating extra ridges to bite into the drive surface as the tyre tread block flexes under load. However, they do reduce tread stiffness, hence their absence on tyres that emphasize on road handling.
Those ridges on the sidewall are meant for decoration and masking scuff marks, similar to the graining on plastic interior panels.
yes siping on treads is for traction...on sidewall its for a different purpose..your scuff mark answer is interesting:)
I use this all the time. I pour a little at a time into a separate container then use a cheap-o paint bush to apply then give about 10 -15 minutes to dry. This way nothing gets on the wheels and nothing gets on the car's paint...no splatter...no mess! BTW...a lady turned me on to applying any tire dressing with a paint brush.
Do you cut the bristles down for better application or do you leave the bristles as they were when applying the tire gel?
The treatment you speak of on the sidewalls is for cooling. I use this product and I must admit it took a little time for me to come to like it, as I first thought it was overkill. Patent leather came to mind after my first use, then the slinging aspect as noted by many, but I hung in there and allowed the formula a time to settle on the tires. I haven't really noticed this slinging tendency and the patent leather look has mellowed somewhat, as I have. I do know that it is preferable to no dressing at all, and better than most. Since I have almost a full bottle left, I will slowly use it until empty and then consider my next step. Who knows, maybe brown and dirty tires will become sexy, and the norm we start striving for. I recommend for the guy that has to have the shiniest tires in town.
Scott love your videos! What cleaning chemicals and equipment would you take with you to clean your truck if you were going to be away from home for 2 weeks and could not take your cleaning arsenal with you?
The sipes are there to increase the surface area of the sidewall, which helps the tire to run cooler.
Those groves on the side are there to annoy you when you clean and apply something on the tire.
I still have a bottle of that from yrs ago. Have to wipe it down after application really well to prevent slinging it when driving. I've found it works well as a protectant on my boat trailer tires.......while the boat is sitting still between seasons.
Scott... you're just killing it...I can't keep up with all the new videos 😆
Well done! Do you have a video showing how to clean the tires when doing a rinseless wash?
i am watching all of Scotts videos on a professional level
The lines on the side are just for decoration, the sipeing is the small lines cut in the tread blocks, those allow the blocks to flex and maintain better traction.
Spot on review! I use mostly water based dressings as well with my business! My go to is Chemical guys VRP! I also use a microfiber applicator for tire dressing! I just don't think the black tire sponges work that great and hold up well! Keep up the great reviews! Love the videos!
Chris Lopez did Adams turn into chemical guys?
How long will VRP last compared to the endurance tire gel?
Chemical guys has too many chemicals that dry out
Chemical guys sucks
@@koba2095 The only thing they have that are good that I use is the soaps. The Soaps from CG are some of the best but as far as waxes, polishes, etc.. turtle wax and 3D is all I use.
I’ve had a bottle of that stuff for almost 15 years (it came in a complete car care kit that I bought from Circuit City). I hardly ever use it because it’s messy to apply and it flings. Thanks for that review. I might start using it again, “when I’m feeling sexy.” 😅
Just get a proper tire applicator
Hey Scott you probably won't see this but just curious how long does it take you to do a full detail on a car? Say a sedan clay, compound, polish, wax, interior? Your so detailed on everything wish you were in NY
Good video mr. Clean......i only use tire gel on really low profile tires
What do you think of mixing this with water? I seen you do it to other products and would like to know if you think it's a good idea? I know this isn't water based but I figure you could answer that better than I can? I Love your videos! Viewer from Minnesota!!
Thanks Scott!
Hi Scott, I bought this Gel 2 years back, that time I didn't have any knowledge about Detailing. Its a good product well it Sling all over.
Really an informative video.!!!
I have tried this product and unfortunately with my experience it slung worse than any product I have ever used. I applied a conservative amount with an applicator, so it wasn't because I applied too much. Try Meguiars hyper dressing. Its water-based, no sling, and can be used for multiple applications.
Thanks Ricky. I recently bought the Hyper dressing, unfortunately couldn't find the time yet !!!
No problem! Its a great product. Good luck!
Ricky Tapp I have no problem with tire sling only problem is that it attracts dust so don't drive it thru dirt fields 😂 I love it for what it is there are tons of tire shine products on the market I have tried a few and none work like meguiars I simply love it
Good shit man! Thanks
When I use this if I get some dust build up or Dirt, I wipe it off and I still have shine and the DIRT gets wiped off.The tire is clean and still has some shine left .
Dude this was a very good review.
Hey Scott, what tire shine product would you recommend? Both my cars have either white letters, or white walls. It's hard to find a retail level product that works well for both the white and the black parts of the tires.
I used to wash my parents cars and would use this tire shine it worked very well. 15 years later still great. Only problem. It’s hard to take off. It’s like a layer of liquid stuff on tire
Love this video! Thank you Scott!
UA-cam put this video up right after your latest video using the tire applicators. I can see where in 100 degree heat these type of dressings may not work but in the Northeast they work great, especially the old original Black Magic Tire wet. I use a paintbrush to apply it and the good ones last for weeks and don't sling. Using a paint brush allows you to put it on evenly and get in every nook and cranny. For years the 2 most frequently asked questions on the road have been, "what do you use on your tires (you'd be shocked how many people use armorall and hate the fact it lasts a day) and what wax do you use?" Megs is like a lower quality version of the original tire wet. You can't even buy the original tire wet anymore. The original is like molasses.
A word to the wise. Ive used this product for years before watching this very instructive video. After cleaning and application, do not drive the car for a while. Let it sit for at least an hour to promote bonding and as a result no slinging. I did my wife's Tesla Y and it had been sitting for about 20 minutes before she took it to run errands. I checked the side walls and there ws no stickiness, None and they looked slick. So keep this in mind. Put your finger on the side walls to see if there is any stickiness. Then if there is either wipe the tire off with a clean cloth or just let it sit some more. I do like this product. The tires look shiny and slick for weeks. Not months.Then just reapply after washing.
I belive the side wall is there incase you scrache the tire in a drive thru or stuff like that for like extra protection cuz i have a car with regular tires and one with racing tires and the racing tires dont have any design
I've been using this product for a long time and it wicks off dirt with ease I enter my car into car shows and I get asked all the time what type of tire dressing I use
THE MAIN THING I LOVE is that it doesn't throw tire shine on the paint or rim while driving like armor all and turtle wax
I love to look & longevity you get with Endurance. But what a PITA to get it washed off. My Michelins look very similar to yours. Those sidewalls are a challenge for me to not leave excess products. I need to revisit hyper dressing.
Love the videos! Viewer Question. What soap do you wash your microfiber towels with. I throw mine away it seems like and I would like to reuse them more. Thanks
dishwashing liquid
Semen
I’ve cleaned tires that have velvet instead of the groves you’re talking about.
to the best of my limited knowledge, the "fins" you refer to on the wall is to increase surface area for heat loss, thus reducing the risk of tyre wall cracking and splitting. A smooth wall not only retains heat created during use, but also when in direct sunlight, prematurely aging the tyre.
Sipes are thin cuts in tread blocks, allowing the blocks to flex, thus maximising tread contact area. Most manufactures are now reducing the amount of sips, as tyre tread design and rubber cconfiguratrion has improved greatly.
they are for traction not heat
YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE how does something on the sidewall.. which never touches the roads surface, help with traction?!
If it does it would think it's from allowing the tire's wall to flex better as the tire makes contact with the road, thus increasing surface contact.
I work at Bridgestone. The sidewall indentations, grooves etc., are mostly cosmetic.
@@oscarcano9654wft 🤣🤣
Are tyre dressers only to be applied to the SIDE WALLS ? I have seen some detailers apply it to the full tyre as in even the head which contacts the road and inside side wall ... is that advisable ??
Siping on sidewalls help keep the tyre cool.
Been using this stuff for years regularly on all my cars. Never had tires crack or any issues
Are the sipping marks for getting rid of water off of sidewalls?
Their tire gel is ok, I prefer Turtle Wax jet black because it actually lasts in dry weather, mine usually last about 2-3 weeks also pending on weather because it will wear off with rain later
The only thing about Meg's Endurance is this stuff when it gets hot it does breakdown and dribbles down onto the rim. I place a light layer after I wash it and then I put another light layer in the middle of the week. I placed a coating of CG Wheel Guard and it comes off real easy. If you use it a little at a time, this product will last a long time.
Yea never done any of this prep with the tire shine. never had paint come off my cars or wheels, never had tires crack. I live in FL it gets super hot.
Tire siping is primarily to channel water away from the tire and avoid hydroplaning.
he meant on the side of the tire.
those grooves are to keep the sidewall cool to extend the life of the tire, especially the people the dont maintain the proper air pressure in tires with a high sidewall.
The tire siphening or however it's spelled. I believe it's there for traction purposes, well atleast thats my idea behind it. Helps with side wall traction?
Yes traction, disperses water while moving on a wet surface such as water or snow.
It's good when you use a small amount and stretch it out.
I liked the dressing but I have little Pirelli's for my Abarth and it's super difficult to remove the excess, especially in the grooves. Using spray is worse because the tires are so thin. What would be the best tire shine for little tires?
Semen
@@KM-je6bf 🤣🤣🤣
what is the best water based shine?
If this isn't the main product you use, what do you recommend?
I use (cover all), you can find it at O'Reilly's auto parts, its the best stuff out on the market, and its around $10 bucks. That tire gel, I've used that stuff, and its good, but like he said, it slings on your vehicle.
this is a good product people just use to much product i got a video on this tfs buddy good video
Dat's da only tire shine I use & I use a small paintbrush for a thick, extra glossy finish.
Going with a blue applicator is like a pro golfer going with blades :)
Another thing that I noticed about Maguires tire dressing is that it attracts cats. I didn't know that cats liked grape scented things
RoadBuster67 Sounds like rhyming to me
Possibly, but I have never put it on my Maserati as it already attracts a lot of pussy.
@@simonwilson1810 lmfaoo
This 1 tire shine i recommend highly i used it also but it scarce in my country right now
to create friction if it hits does not slides or slips that's why sapings are there
Sidewall siping allows for better flexing
Thank you!
Siping a tire is for water displacement. Popular in rainy climates like the Pac Northwest. Can be done by tire professionals.
That syping is supposed to help move water and help keep the tire from hydroplaning. At least in theory.
yes it improves traction. But it’s called siping, and it helps the tire last longer. Again, in theory
How do you clean your applicators and towels that you use on your tires? I would assume you don't ever mix those applicators and those specific microfiber towels with other towels that you would use on the rest of the vehicle. I would love to see a video on how you clean all of these items.
I usually use either "polishing pad cleaner" or microfiber wash concentrate. You can also use Dawn dishwashing liquid as well. If it's good enough to clean oil off baby ducks and not hurt them, it's good enough to clean my tire applicators lol.
sipng is used in the tread not the sidewall
yeah I'm 54 and it took my son of 27 to explain how the stuff works. So I just let my son take care of it and you're exactly right, cleaning the tire first in my words of Deadpool "is maximum effort". You get the highest value out of using the product. That's what you want.
and people think you need to use a ton of that stuff to make your tires look nice and shiny you really don't.
there's an old saying _less is more_ and cleaning the tire right is everything.
I appreciate the video, you got a sub here 👍
Those groves on the tire are being used more and more because that prevents water and tire shine to slip off the tire
Whatever tire dressing I use I always use a cloth and dab or blot it out of those dang grooves. I hate tire sling. I love a good looking clean like new tire. Without dressing. But over cleaning you gotta imo put a dressing of some kind or your tire will be brown for sure.
I would use it in the late fall or early spring
The grooves are there to "catch" the curb scuffs
I dont use it on tires works great for the black trim bumpers Better then Back to Black Trim Mothers Stuff
Very little Vegetable oil + car wax
For your faded out bumpers
I've used that product for many years on plastic and tires and it's never turned my tires brown 🤔
What do you suggest for cleaning my tire and wheel cleaning brushes after I use em?
TheMichael408 I use a very thick and stiff brush to highly scrub the tyre i also use a strong apc/degreaser and this gets my tyres upto a great standard
If you use this for your tires, you may want to consider cleaning your tires before taking them in for maintenance such as, rotations, or brake jobs. You could find this stuff inside your car where it should not be. Also consider that if you use this stuff and you need your tire repaired, you might run into a tire repairman who doesn't want to deal with a tire that feels slippery like a slick pig and will want to sell you a new tire instead.
Been looking for a good product to restore and bring back the deep black color of plastic body trim. I tried products designed for this purpose but have been unhappy with the way they look and last. I accidentally got some Meguiars Endurance Gel on the lower black panel on my Outback and after wiping it off I noticed it stayed on the panel and gave it a dark and shiny finish. I used it on just one panel and after 2 weeks the panel still looked great. Did the rest of the panels and I can't believe that the Endurance Tire gel has lasted longer and looks better than any of the products designed to restore black body trim, including Meguiars products. Maybe you can do a video on using Endurance Gel on black plastic trim
Try Meguiars Black plastic trim restorer, in the aerosol can. Really tape everything up, and wipe any overspray off if it's on anything that isn't the plastic immediately. Do a few coats. Make sure it gets 24 hours to cure before it sees rain. It turned dull gray plastic back to a somewhat shiny black and made it bead water really well, doesn't run or anything. I go over the trim I've done with this with some spray wax or paint sealant that can be used on trim, and it kind of locks in the product and shine and it will last and last. Been 4 months and the trim still looks like the day I applied the product.
@@NCRranger24 going to try this
@@clmcls be careful with it, if it gets on the paint and dries it'll likely have to be polished off.
I don't meant to doubt what you say, but please correct me if I'm wrong....
But dressings are either water or solvent based. Both can have silicones in them.
There are no silicone based.
Water based dries almost completely dry and not greasy.
Solvent based tend to dry a bit more greasy and usually used for exterior.
But again in my research both water and solvent based dressings can and do have silicones in them.
Again, I love it your videos but I hear "silicone based" alot and I think the stigma from the old days of the armor all controversy still are Urban myths today and people still think they will"cause your dashboard to crack".
To be honest I think it's more about the materials used back then and after expand/contract of the material it cracks.
The grooves is to provide strength and stability and to use less rubber.
Peut on le diluer avec de l'eau dématérialisée pour une finition mate où satin ?
On a professional level I put the dressing right on top of the dirt 🙌🏽
Grooves help tire cooling.
Good vid
Will the paint prep do the same job as the IPA
Man them tires turning brown is do to all that break dust that sticks to the tires, i know cause of all my years detailing my own cars i remove that break dust residue ssshhhiiitt with strong degreaser like Super Clean purple or Awesome yellow degreaser, spray it all over the wet (watered) tire and then scrub the tire with a medium hard tire brush! All that brown u will see as it foams as u brush, rinse and repeat and u have beautiful all matte black non brown tires ready for some 303 Aerospace Protectant shine!...
Have you tried eagle one tire shine as a review? I’ve used it
That mug tho. Lol
@@truejey7475 LOL
The problem with this product is when you drive you can see a little bit of this on the paint of the car.
Someone have a idea to prevent that?
After you apply it, wipe excess with a microfiber cloth. Even after few days later.. if is hot like here in Dallas.. I wipe the tires again.
helps resist hydroplaining by quicker water dispersion
Where do u get the microfiber applicators?
walmart or a dollor store:)...about 50cents a piece and you can wash them
No bona bottle??
Tire side sipes are for curb protection
Have u ever tried baby oil...or suntan oil...?
actually I have..lol..it brings on ants and things stick to the tire
Excellent stuff this is. A bottle will last anyone YEARS (unless you wash your car everyday). It keeps your tires looking black for a good few weeks as well (weather dependent).
I love this stuff but that is because it rains a lot around here.
You said 95 - 100 degrees. in the summer here we get 100 - 125, but its a dry heat, but you have humidity. Id like to hear what you have to say about what products to use in this dry heat.
Water based tire dressing picks up dirt too.
I use mostly water based tire gel.
I been using it since 08 I call it Snot
Have you ever used lemon pledge on detailing the interior of the vehicles. I have a cousin who use it on his old classic vehicles. I thought it would dry out the material of the vehicle.
I've done it as a joke. I've used it on tires compared to water based tire dressing, the pledge got greasy and dirt stuck to it. On the interior, it looked alright for a few days then it discolored the dash I used it on (a Chevy Blazer), made the tan dashboard turn a hazy white color where the pledge was applied. Removed it with APC, left a discolored patch that was somewhat noticeable. There's no point in using it, imo. There's much better products out there that are designed for interiors that work much better.
That Michellen man at 2 o'clock tho
Is that on a professional level? 😁 😁 😁
I'm pretty sure tire siping is to improve traction in wet conditions....I watched how it's made on tires
yes siping when found on the treads is for traction...but on the sidewall its for a different purpose
It helps with water "sheding" or "displacement" and it also helps to keep the tires somewhat "cooler" during driving and when the tire expands due to heat buildup while driving. I really enjoy the videos ad the honesty on product reviews and also the detail explanation that you do during your videos. Keep up the outstanding work. From a retired U.S. Navy Special Operations Veteran.
TG Cooper not to keep the sound down?
I've just came down the comments wondering if there was raining during the video or the guy was spitting like a badass... Guess the 2nd option is the answer =D
Smells delicious too!! Just doesn't taste like grapes :(
that's purple over here in uk
SUPRAGZAEROTOP it's purple in the US too but occasionally you see a red bottle in the shelves.
1221Ralph strange that! autoglym have just released theyre own tyre gel that was developed with emdurance gel in mind, and strangely enough the autoglym product is red! makes you wonder
