I have been wanting to try the tire shine and after watching I will. This is my two cents if anyone is using a different tire dressing and wants to use it up before buying the Cerakote. Never spray the product directly onto the tire. The over spray mist gets all over the vehicle you just washed. Always just spray the applicator. After you apply, let it set a minute or two then buff the tire with a rag to get any excess product off and you will have a nice clean tire that looks new. There will be no sling ! I use this method for all tires car or truck.
My wildpeaks eats those little sponges. Always wondered if I should switch to a brush type applicator. Excited to see how the long term test turns out, I agree that’s the perf amount of dull shine
I applied this to a set of Mickey Thompson Pro XS 43s. That video will air Sunday. It's a long process, getting every nook and cranny, but will be worth it when I off road and just power wash then clean. For sure, a sports car tire is easy.. one swipe. It's the MT tires that take time.
I stopped using tire shine on my rig awhile ago because I don't like the tire shine sling on the Montero. I also don't like super shiny dressing either ...this satin shine is perfect. It looks like I am going to give this product a try. I didn't even know they had a product like this. I do have good experience with their headlight restore kit which has lasted a long time before it started to get worse again. How does this stuff hold up on the powder coated surfaces? Great video
For powder coated finishes try the trim coat.. it is phenomenal. The cerakote Headlight kit is a one time needed fix, it will be good for thr rest of thr life of thr vehicle. Their clear wipe is far superior to what car manufacturers put on... Here is the video for the trim coat:
@@CruisingTheLand I tried a couple different headlight restore kits but the Cerakote was the best and long lasting. It lasted for 2 years before it started to deteriorate. The Florida sun is very tough on anything it touches. Thanks for the link...I will definitely check it out. Nice LC BTW!
Lots of people, or derivatives of it. Almost all have sling, long term browning, or short life span. They all have one thing in common: They are car detailing companies. What I like about Cerakote, is they are not a detailing company, they are a surface protection company.
So are you saying that some detailing companies just rebrand Armor All products and sell it under other names? Would you be able to name them - so I can avoid those products too? I am not a fan of Armor All products. a Thanks for the info.
@louisperich6678 No, not what I am saying. Armorall is armorall. Not rebranded. But there are companies that have formulations that is the same. A newer formulation these days in ceramic. The reason why I like cerakote, is it offers longterm protection, not just short term beautification that washes off or turns brown in the sun. I offroad, and getting dirty and dust off is hard. And that especially sticks to most tire dressings. With Cerakote, the surface is dry, repels dirt, and can be rinsed or powerwashed back to its black.

Great advice!
I’m going to try the Trim coat on my powdered coated Aluminum Patio Furniture that’s Faded
That should work! Black trim...
Get the 4oz bottle, it will go a long way, and easier to apply on furniture.

Who still uses Armor All anymore?

@@CruisingTheLand I am a big fan of Cerakote, I use them for plastic restoration. Thanks for the comment.
