After one week:
BEFORE WASH:




(I hit it with water before I remembered I wanted pictures, but it was just a 1 sec blast)


AFTER WASH, but I wiped the tire down with a dry rag (no cleaning). A lot of the gloss has subsided, but still looks like it's wet:

I bought the black magic stuff for my car. It said it contains wax and has actually restored the black to my old brown tires

Just a warning however I have never gone more than a week without them getting pretty dirty. Even if they lasted a month I would want to clean it all off

Normally $13+tax at Autozone, but it has an instant $3 off taken at the register. I went & bought a second can at that price.

Also, I ran out of the Armor All repellent & noticed a Meguiar's repellent. So I'll try that, but I've been happy with the Armor All, so I'll probably buy that when I see it. For whatever reason, they don't carry it at AZ. I got my last can from (gag) WallyWorld.

Zero Fling, so long as you let it dry before driving. Just look inside my wheel wells, do you see a bunch of gunk? You know you'd see wet spots with armor all or gel.

I let mine sit for 15-20 min before I drive anywhere and don't have gel all over the wheel wells.

So, let's see some other pics? I want to see how it turned out on some other tires. If I applied too much or whatever.

Put it on about 2 hours ago...so these pics are dry shots. Getting ready to leave, so we'll see how it holds up.

That's what I'm talking about! Looks good &I love that wet look!

After two weeks, mine still looks ok, but not perfect. It's raining now, but I'll take some more pics when it clears anyways.

Yea, I was going to say use it when there is no wind, or in the garage.
