Chemical Guys Blue Guard 2

[belcherm58]

I ordered a gallon of this to try on wheel wells and black plastic trim
and mouldings and the black plastic cowl and door weather striping.
It is a silicone based material that has a pleasant odor. I sprayed the
wheel wells and used a sponge paint pad to apply to the cowl and
weather striping around the doors. It leaves a very nice shine and it
drys to touch. It is also very good at lasting through several rains.
I really like this product for the above mentioned use as it last and
goes very far in use of product.

Did you notice any streaks after the rains? Does it seem to attract any dust?

 

[belcherm58]

No streaks yet. As said it dries to a non oily finish. I have not seen any dust
attraction.

How is durabilty? When did you apply it? Hows the weather been since?

I just got my gallon of blue guard as well from Bob at Danase. I have only used mine on tires, and it works great. I do one pass for black, two passes for bling. It hasn't lasted TOO long on my tires yet, all this rain really eats it up fast. I also have had to drive down some dirt roads to clients houses, which also affects the durability. The longest it has lasted (due to weather) is 5 days or so.

 

[joyriide1113]

When you mention its 5 day durabilty, do you judge by how long the "gloss" last or how long the actual tire stays black?

 

[belcherm58]

I used it on the wheel wells and the cowl and moldings around wheel wells
and black trim around doors and windows. It has lasted at least 2 weeks
or better. The wheel wells were starting to get dirty but after washing were
still black. It has been raining almost everyday for two weeks. I retreated
the wheel wells anyway.

When using it on tires, did it spread well. I'm on the verge of ordering it as I'm looking for a non-waterbased dressing that dries to the touch. Been using Trim Restorer for that purpose but I feel like its too good for tires.

Its hard for me to say anything about the durability, ill have to chime in again in a few weeks i guess.

Thanks! As much as I love the spreadabilty of waterbased dressings as BnB, AA, Mothers FX, ect, I really need something a bit more long lasting especially for these weekend clients that only get to see me every other month seeing as I don't offer wash services, let alone am stationed directly from my home garage on weekends. Buying premium tire gels is out of the question as I have gone away from the premium marketed products and have been using what works, with the exception of sealants, waxes, polishes, and compounds. It would be nice to give them a detail along with tires that can stay black a bit longer than 4-7 days.

I'm confused,i thought AA was the enemy here for tire dressing.
The word enemy is a figure of speech.In noway am i bashing the product.

I got a sample bottle of Eagle One Tire dressing (forget the exact name) last year, and it works very well. Dark, medium to high gloss, and very durable (I'd get over a week even in the rain...).
