What did you clean the tires with? What did you dress them wiht afterwords?

Ultima Paint Guard Wash. I added one more coat of Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus V2.0. It already had 2 coats from about 3 weeks ago. That stuff lasts and looks great, makes your tires really dark without the extreme oily gloss. Of course, you can increase the gloss by adding more layers.
 
Detaildoc,



I have an identical ES and I've been using UPGP since it was new about 6 months ago. Based on your pictures, I put a coat of DWG on and topped with UPGP and it looks great - thanks for your post.





To all those who think UPGP is expensive, you could not be more wrong. I've put 6-7 coats on my ES over the past 6 months and the bottle still appears full. Hard to tell exactly how many uses you would get from a bottle, but its got to at least 60 to 70 and maybe even 100. I don't think twice about putting on a coat after a wash - not only is it cheap, it is quick and easy. I know KnucleBuckett has said all this - but it true, true, true.

Sweet! trust me, in the summer you'll be glad that you did and not to mention it looks better and more uniformed since your other windows are tinted as well :2thumbs: . let's see pics please!

I could feel the difference already. Once the Riverside summer kicks in, I am sure I will appreciate it even more. The back windows have dark tint, but I went medium in the front for better visibility at night, especially since my wife drives it sometimes. I will post some pics this weekend.

You're welcome! I absolutely agree with you. I have probably applied a total of 40 layers on several vehicles now and the bottle is still pretty full.

I used UPGP today for the first time. I was sure I had used WAY too much of the sample that I have. I barely used any and I swore I was wasting the stuff.

Here are a couple of pics with the front windows already tinted. The car was already really dusty and dirty.

Don't mean to steal this thread, but how do you apply DWG? Do you just wipe it on and let it haze and then wipe it off or do you wipe until clear? Someone mentioned burnishing the glaze with a pc until all haze is gone. Anyone tried this approach?

I always apply via UDM with a blue pad. This ensures a more even spread and you use less product. I always do the whole car and after I am done I buff it off with a MF. I wouldn't say that I burnish it till all the haze is gone, but when using the UDM, a lot of it does clear up, leaving very little to buff off.
