Great demonstration, Bruce! That Darkside really held on there. One tip with those solvent based dressings would be to attack solvent with solvent. Something like Stoners Tar Remover would remove the dressing in one hit and the. you would only need 2-3 hits of tire cleaner for a perfectly clean tire😊 Now that GHOST is applied you won’t have to worry about browning as GHOST actually seals the tire. Just light cleaners or soaps to clean and it will stay fresh for many months. Enjoy!
Hey ADS, How does this new Ghost product compare to the Tire+ that yall have had for a while now? Would appreciate an answer, as I'm just a little confused if they are both water-based (unless I'm wrong there).
@@cryptid946 one is a dressing; one is a sealant. 2-3 weeks durability, versus 2-3 months. Like comparing a spray wax to a sealant. Both work, one needs to be applied more often.
I'm not a professional detailer, but Yvan over at DIY Detailing is, and he says NOT to remove all the browning from the tire, if you do you're actually damaging the tire. I have only used DIY and Hybrid Solutions products, but really want to try some Armour Detail Products. That left a really nice sheen to the tire. I think this is the 1st video I've seen of yours and you earned a like and sub.
Wow, thank you for subscribing. I’ll do my best to meet your expectations. Yvan does say that and honestly it’s possible he is correct along with Armour Detail Supply. ADS (and other vendors) states that you must remove old dressings and browning (until foam cleaner no longer turns brown) before applying the new sealant. I always try to follow the manufacturer recommendations when I’m showing or testing a new product.
@@catguy64 i think hes referring to the idea of overcleaning and removing the oils that preserve the tire from the factory, vs a light cleaning to remove dirt and oils. I used to really get into, trying to get to the bottom of “tire bloom” and proper tire care. Ive pretty much sat at just clean em up, and dress em, then drive and wear out the tread.
Well done again Bruce. Proper demonstration, with honest observations. Sure it’s something new, but not being “super excited” or building the “hype” is truly just showing what a product is. i appreciate you.
A bottle of Ghost/Tire+ lasts so long I’ll be passing my stock to my children. Thanks Bruce! I definitely prefer water-based products when possible so I’m super happy to see this come out.
Hey Bruce! Always love your videos! Man if anything you sold me on that carpro dark side! It really clung on there and i enjoy the wet look. Not to impressed with the cleaning power on the cleaner but would love to hear your thoughts on the longevity of this new product. I feel it acts like a regular dressing and not sure why I'd pick this over a more cost effective dressing but I'm running to add darkside to my cart asap! 🎉🎉
@@SoCleenDetailing Thank you. I’m not the best person to test longevity on my personal car as it gets limited use, but GHOST was easy to apply and not a thick gel like Darkside. However, I do think Darkside has some solid longevity. I expect GHOST to rival it (solely based on ADS’ reputation). Time will tell.
@@SoCleenDetailing Tire Cleaner certainly won’t remove a solvent nano sealant easy.. no cleaner will. Solvents needs to be fought with solvent for an efficient removal. GHOST isn’t a tire dressing at all. It’s a true rubber nano sealant that forms a flexible membrane over the rubber surface.👍🏻
bruce!!! the ghost of detailing future to come, what a wonderful life 😜🐿️💨…..oh wait i’m thinking of a christmas carol … eh still works, cut and print, good job everyone coffee’s on me
Thanks. I have really liked everything from ADS. I’m applying their new spray ceramic, PHOBIC, right now and it looks great as well. Super easy. New video coming on that too 😃. Thanks for being a regular viewer!
I did rinse for Ghost as it’s recommended. I have never done that with Darkside and the applicator has remained soft and porous (same type of applicator). I’m glad you liked the video!
Yes, GHOST actually forms a cured flexible membrane. Unlike these solvent type dressings that just leave a very durable silicone layer. A quick rinse ensures your applicator can be used time and time again.
Cool! I haven’t used Tire+, but my understanding is that GHOST will have significantly longer durability. Worth a try because it looks great, easy to apply, and if you get 3 months, that’s a win. Thanks for watching.
GHOST is a longer term sealant that provides up to 3 months of durability. Tire+ is a short term dressing. The chemical makeup allows GHOST to be significantly more durable. But both will make the tires look great!
I bought vonixx revox recently it’s a water based tire sealant and it’s really nice and repellant. I’m interested in this forsure, I wish I had the funds to try all ADS products.
ADS products are pretty solid. Watch for sales and, of course, coupon code BrucesGarage will save you 10%, but some sales throughout the year might save you more. Appreciate you watching and sharing what’s worked for you 👍🏻
@@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails I did, but my car gets little use so I’m not the best test subject. Applied to another car today that is a daily driver and kept outside. I’m going to stay in touch with the owner and keep an eye out on the durability.
Great video Bruce! I like the sprayable tire dressing like this. With aggressive offroad tires, I apply using a flag tip brush. You need to spray it into the bristles. The gels and non-sprayables don't work well with a brush application.
@Bruces-Garage If you get an an aggressive tire sometime, give it a try. IMO, you want a brush that's stiffness is in-between a wheel face brush and a tire brush. The brush will get into the thicker treads.
Doesn't look that uniform of an application but that's probably because you didn't clean the old dressing off well enough. It would be great to see this product on a tire that hasn't been doused with solvent dressing prior.
I personally use CARPRO PEARL diluted 3:1 on my tires. Gives me an acceptable Dark Matte finish, applied to external trims with same dilution. R. Interior I dilute 5:1 on leather, plastic and Vinyl peices👍
@@davidboyce6427 Cool! What kind of durability do you get? I’ve been using Darkside with good success, but just started using GHOST which is a bit easier to apply and it is water based vs solvent. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Next time if you want to know how you end up using you can weight the product before/after and get and idea of what % of the total you used for an application :)
Dang! That’s such a simple idea that never occurred to me. Thanks for sharing. I tested out PHOBIC over the weekend and was curious how much I used, so I thought about measuring the end amount, but I really didn’t want to contaminate the material. Thanks for the idea.
Great catch!! Yep-he does regularly state that. However, when I’m reviewing a product I always try to strictly follow the recommendations from the vendor to make sure I’m accurately representing the product. I truly don’t know whether removing the browning hurts or whether it helps the longevity of GHOST.
@@Bruces-Garage😜cool to see how long Casper would last on a daily driven vehicle. In my case, I have my tires with Dura-Coating tire coating which lasts basically up to a year. The trick with it is not using an APC and just cleaning the tires with soap or Rinseless.

@@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails 😎 Call it luck 👻 Thank you!
Well at least one of us got a chance to try. I can’t wait.
Really nice satin finish. Used it again today on another vehicle. Looks sweet!
Ghost looks pretty good!
Definitely!
Great video Bruce? You have to rinse the applicator for Ghost? Do you do the same for Darkside?

Yes, GHOST actually forms a cured flexible membrane. Unlike these solvent type dressings that just leave a very durable silicone layer. A quick rinse ensures your applicator can be used time and time again.
Great demo Bruce! Another ADS product to check out 💯
Thanks so much. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks Bruce. Looks like a winner like Tire +.
Looks really nice on tire. I’m expecting durability. Trying Phobic tomorrow
I just applied some tire + a couple weeks ago and really like it. Would like to try ghost!!

Great production and presentation
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me. 👍🏻
Is there a cure time once ghost is applied?
1 hour before getting wet. Allow to dry before driving (dries in about 5 mins). Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. Interesting a water based formula will last 3 months
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
