Well it’s been 3 weeks since I first applied the WG, and I was hoping to give an update after the second week as well, but Mother Nature realized that it really was winter and put a few inches of snow on the ground.

So here’s what we got after 3 weeks with weather that included snow, rain, and 50+mph winds driving the rain (what a week)

Tires were cleaned with SG diluted 10:1
Front tire:

Rear tire:

As you can see by the end of 3 weeks, most of the sheen is gone, but considering all that they went through the WG held up quite well.

An interesting observation, as you can see in the 2 pictures that there is difference. Both tires are Kelly Explorers but yet the dressing didn’t hold up as well on the tire in the second shot which is an older tire. So I’m guessing that how well a product works on a tire is not only the compound of the tires but its age and condition.

Opinion:
The product does last a couple of weeks as the manufacturer claims, but it’s longevity will vary depending upon the tire and condition.
I feel that this would be a good product for people that want to tend to their car every couple weeks or a detailer that has a bi-weekly customer.

For those that say I missed the wheel wells…
Tires now dressed with PB’s BnB and wells w/ BnB diluted 1:1

Since I'm not a fan of shiny tires, your 3 week picture with "most of the sheen gone" would be the ideal look for me.
How do I get that look with out having to put up with shiny tires for 3 weeks?:)
It was also interesting to note that the SG at 10:1 evidently didn't remove the dressing. I would have expected that it might.
Does the BnB diluted 1:1 have a matte finish or is it still shiny?

Oh yeah, the car looks great. :bigups

That could very well be.
My reason for the question was the fact that "J" used BnB diluted 1:1 for his wheel wells and I couldn't tell their level of shine in the picture.

Thanks for the replies.

Charles, when I apply my dressing I just work it into the tire and do not wipe of any excess, so you could reduce the amount of gloss by wiping any excess before drying. Yes it does seem that even after 3 weeks, even though much of the gloss is gone, there is still some beading on the front tire. So I'm thinking that there is still some amount of dressing still on, but unfortunately not on the rear tires. Meaning that I would have had to redress them anyway.

I diluted the BnB 1:1 because I only use that way in the wheel well. it's not that shiny, and the look doesn't hold up thattt long, but it does help when it comes to the next cleaning.

I just watched a video on Adams Premium Car Care products and they have a very nice looking product called VRT that doesnt have a shine just a luster so to speak. VERY NICE LOOKING PRODUCT.

Jay are those a set of Kleen wheels used to eliminate break dust?

Klasse VLRP should do that

I'm a big lover of wolfgang tire gel along with four star and sonus , the last being the best one ever as you can use it on all kinds of surfaces

The older tire would probably have looked better if it was deoxidised prior to applying Wolfgang with VM and Autoglym 07B or equivalent
