Top of the Line Grape dressing, durability depends entirely on rain but up to 3 weeks.

I want to try this, but they won't ship it to my state because it's not VOC compliant. :(



However, we have some relatives that live right across the border in Ohio, so I'm thinking of having it shipped to them and just making a short road trip to pick it up.



Up 'till now, I've been using Tropi-Care's Silicone Free Tire Dressing, which I've been happy with, but I'm looking to try some other products at this point to compare.

+1 for the CG Gel, and for water-based I like Mothers FX Tire Shine.



Personally I think 1-1.5 weeks isn't bad. For me, every tire dressing lasts well until it rains...and then it just tanks.
 
Currently Poorboy's BnB. I just recently picked up some Z16 with my Zaino order, but it is too soon to tell if I like it better or not.

I normally just quick wash with the residual of the paint wash shampoo (Z7). Since you applied the original coat on throughly clean tires, there is no need to remove the originally applied Z16.

Thanks! I will give that a try.
 
Ease of use, Meguiar's hot shine spray in aersol form. Super easy to apply and durability is not too bad. For the deepest look Pinnacle black onyx tire gel is deeeeeep...unfortunetly durability sucks.
 
my new favorite as far as ease of application and shine/durability has got to go to fk108. little spendy to use on tires but excellent shine no streaks long lasting.
 
Zaino Z-16 here. I haven't tried the new formulation, as I still have two bottles of the old stuff, but even it is still my favorite of all I've tried. The only complaint I have is that it is a little runny, which I understand has been addressed with the new formula.
 
megs vinyl & rubber cleaner and conditioner... works all in one cleaner dressing that doesnt contain silicone is great on tires, plastic wheel wells, vinyl, weatherstripping and plastics under the hood
 
Z16 for me.



Z16 is a litttle runny and took me a few attempts before I could apply without wasting some as it dripped off the applicator, but I LOVE the clean, natural look the thin Z16 produces.



There is no thick candy coated or oily look with Z16, which I hate, just a clean natural rubber look. Durability is very good for a water based dressing.
 
Just tried grape dressing on my car; goes on easily and spread well, similar to Z16. Seems shinier than Z16 right off the bat, smells good. We will see about durability.
