tire dressing
What's a good long lasting tire dressing?
I used to use this stuff called Wipe New - Tires but it's since been discontinued. There was a process. First you soaped and scrub cleaned the tire, then let dry. Then you don a 3M chemical filter cartridge mask, because no joke this stuff was noxious, then you applied just a teeny bit to the provided sponge and applied to the tire. Go around doing all 4 then then come back and do it again.
The black lasted for a good long while...couple months before you had to do it again.
Is there anything like this still out there on the market?

Most of the dressings at the parts houses etc aren’t long lasting, at least the ones I used. Maybe someone will chime in with a better offering or experience.
We used to use a tire dressing that a company supplied the shop and auto detailers. Can’t remember the name, but it was a pink semi thick single stage brush on type glaze. It would flow out into a semi shine and set up, no sling off once set. Set time was pretty quick and was better in that it didn’t collect dust into an oily residue on the tire faces and painted panels. It was fairly water resistant once dried although it was water based. My suggestion would be to check in with a local detailer and see what they offer, and/or a contact to the supplier. If memory serves, the glaze we used was some how then not environmentally friendly. Was great stuff though!

Thanks for the advice haya. I'll bet this Wipe New stuff wasn't environmentally friendly either, as bad as it smelled. I got a bottle of it a year ago and when I opened the sealed plastic bag it was in it had eaten through the plastic bottle and the solvent evaporated out, leaving a congealed solid mess.
