Best Gallon Dressing v2.0

GlossyTundra

Tractor Detailer
I started a thread about 1yr ago on best dressing for 1 Gallon sizes, but there has been some new stuff out and I wanted to try something new. I have use TOL Grape and I love it and I also have used some Meg's sillicone free dressing and hated it. I was intriged by 4* Bazooka tire dressing and Optimum Tire shine. I like the optimum line and I am sure I will be impressed with them, but how would it compare to "other" tire products. BNB? Grape? Bold N Brite is a little pricey but if it's better than the rest it's worth it right?



Any others out there I should be looking for?



EDIT: I know I spelled Gallon wrong, that's Franklin county learning for ya!:LOLOL
 
Bazooka is my favorite tire shine for a glossy look and the one I use the most. For a non glossy, matte look, I use 303.

Although I have only used it with a 1:1 ratio, you can dilute it up to 4:1 for different looks. It look very milky and streaky when first applied, but after 10 minutes, it absorbs soo well into the the tire and all the grooves that it just looks perfect to me... A little goes a very long way too!

Yeah, I saw it on your site. How would you compare it to Optimum or Poorboys BNB?

The Bazooka is much glossier than the other two. So if you like, of have clients that like, a real glossy, wet look this is the one.
 
Wow why don't you guys make it easy and buy some Meguiar's Hot Shine spray. You just pray your tires and walk away!! After about two applications it will last for weeks.

I like the Bazooka much better and it last a very long time as well. And I think most all of the products mentioned here have been the spray on and walk away type. Even though you can use a sponge or brush to apply them and not get any overspray on your wheels.
 
I really like megs ASD. The only thing is, and I know this is normal, if you drive in the rain,it looks just like it did before you put it on. It doesnt soak in or stand up to rain or washing at all. Youve got to put it on everytime..



Megs endurance seems to stay on the tires after it rains and even after I wash it..
 
I've been using BnB and like the look it gives. So I'm paying close attention to this topic since I'll want to try something new as soon as it runs out. I've been a fan of CG products and am going to try their trim gel which I have on the tires but in the long run I think it would be to pricey to use as my go to tire dressing.

Try out Auto Magic's Magic Dressing. They sell 12 different levels/kinds of dressings, and this stuff is their best by far. It doesn't sling and will stay shiny after driving through a downpour. It's only $18-19 for a gallon. They also sell less expensive dressings that works great for about $12 / gallon.
