I've been wanting to try one for a while for my tires and external trim, but have a few questions.



1. How is the application compared to oil based stuff? I hate all the over spray problems I get on my window and door panel trim and I really want something that goes on easily.



2. Whats the durability like? I don't mind reapplying on every weekly wash, but my car sits outside 24/7 and deals with constant Texas sun so it needs to be a little tough.



3. Which one would work the best for me?



Thanks!

If you are looking for a water based dressing, definitely check out Megs Hyper Dressing.



Durability is usually shorter than solvent based, but I have found HD to last through a couple washes. If you are reapplying every week, I do not foresee an issue, though I'm not familiar with Texas sun.



How are you getting 'over spray' while applying dressing? I apply to a pad and wipe it on. Clean your glass last.

Do you want a matte dressing, or something with shine?

Matte preferably.



Over spray is the wrong word. The size and location make it very difficult to apply anything on "only" the trim. (In a reasonable amount of time anyway) I just wanted something easier to work with.
 
I've been very pleased with Megs High Endurance gel...



Gold Classâ„¢ Endurance® High Gloss G7516 Product Information



This is high gloss. They make a low gloss version supposedly, but I've never seen it locally. With the high gloss if you give it a buff with a MF towel after it's dry you can get a matte finish.



Pick up a pack of these to apply it....



Eagle One Tire Swipes



I tried several other methods of application and these tire swipes worked way better than anything else I tried.



Both the Megs and the tire swipes were available at my local Auto Zone.

CG VRP. Spray it on applicator and apply.
