    Hi

    Looking for suggestions on a tire dressing with a medium to mat gloss.
    Don't like high gloss effect that most dressing seem to offer:

    These are the two I was looking at:

    - Poorboy's Natural Look Dressing
    - Stoner More Shine Less Time


    Looking forward to your input. Thks

    Its a little pricey but overall my number 1 tire dressing is Swissvax Pneu, just had a deep black look with just a tad of sheen.

    Surf City BBTP. It gives a few varied looks depending on how much you apply.

    Showroomfx white pearls hands down, same look as pneu but fraction on price, although pneu has a nice scent to it!

    These two and I also use Duragloss 253. I am getting more durability out of the Duragloss. It has a tad more sheen than Pneu and White Pearl but by no means do I consider it a glossy or wet look tire dressing.

    Just to clarify, just need one of these, not both - correct??
    On average, how often does it need to be applied?

    Thks for the feedback.

    I have both and the looks are similar, yet the Swissvax is more expensive. You cannot go wrong with either, they are both excellent.

    Swissvax, just a bit more baller!

    Showroom FX White Pearl hands down. It's the best I've used. In second place is Meguiar's #40. I'm not a huge fan of 40 on interiors, but on tires, it's just about perfect. Pretty decent durability too.

    Another vote for showroom fx/tropicare white pearl. lasts about 2 weeks on my car. i never had tire dressing stay on my tires longer than that before i redress them

    I will have to say white pearl is one of the best tire dressings I have used. After I found out about it and started using it i have stopped looking around to tire dressings as it has everything I want. Easy to use, cost effective, nice finish, and good durability for being water based.

    Poorboy's Bold 'N Bright is quite nice for low gloss if I dilute it 1:1, apply it, and then buff it down.

    Pricey yes but a little goes a long way especially if you clean the tires properly.
