My experiment of dressing on spare tire

Something you'll never do but I did it to compare the tire dressings side by side


took my mazda's spare tire out



spritezd it down with 1z blitz and scrubbed then onr rinsed it



the circle of tire dressing including the armorall gel that i dont use anymore



yes the armorall



AG Instant tyre dressing



PB B&B



CG VRP



303 Aerospace protectant



SV Pneu



and in the same order

 

VPR looks the best IMO in this test.

Legit test BTW

 

Nice test. I gotta say I like the look of Autoglym best. Then SV Pneu

 

Here's one I did a while ago...

thanks for the tests Kyoshiro and P1et. it nice to see them side by side, and the contrast between a spare and a 4x4 tire couldn't be better.

 

size isnt everything! lol

 

^lol...lets hope not:whistle:

 

To me,. the lighting is too uneven to judge anything.

 

how bout try a 2nd coat of everything?

 

sadly, that is a good point, I was trying to get the best sunlight but it just didnt work out that well. I'll pull the spare tire out again next week to get a 2nd coat as oldcracker suggested and get my 1000watt halogens out somewhere.

 

test is great idea but pictures could be better. and needs to be just one big pic of whole tire couse camera can change lighting from one shot to next and change apearance of the dressing(could look darker or lighter or glosier) for next time try to do this. put it flat on ground where there is no outside light. take pic with flash and without. then you can crop pic to make individual sections bigger. this will garantee best show result i think.
ill try to do this as well with my spare. but then again spare doesnt get elements that you usualy get from diring so it would test durabilty of dressing.

just my .02

 

i need a DSLR, i only got my iphone camera here
but yeah its not gonna test durability at all but I figured it would be good to see how it looks compared to others.
thanks for the suggestion nonetheless, i'll work something to get a bigger picture.
