Looks damn good to me. I've been a big fan of their Bug and Tar remover, although I follow it up with my Adams products.

For $12 bucks I'd be willing to give it a try.

Just need the weather to cooperate. We just got dumped on last night. 6 inches of white crap....

It looks nice but at the same time it looks like you can peel it off the tire. Around where the sidewall meets the tread it looks flakey.

Ohkay. Sorry I was fooled by the box. I realized its not for paint but Turtle wax black box makes a huge mess (as you know already). Maybe they should package it differently so nobody thinks its part of the black box line. I'd say the black box flopped.

It bonds to the tire, that looks is from driving wear. It doesn't peel.
My camera isn't the best either. I'll take pics after it's washed to show you.

Tires look good.

Anyone try Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance® High Gloss?

I use the Meguiars endurance, I like it but if it gets on your time is is hard to get off. I put it on an applicator and then wipe the tire.

I picked this stuff up last week, I haven't applied it to my Camaro yet but have on my Corvette. It is pretty much like a flexible clear coat for your tires. Clean it really good first apply and let it sit for an hour as stated above.
After a week of driving up and down a dirt road and even through water. They still look good, you can get a damp microfiber towl and wipe the dust off that collects on it. I'm pretty impressed with it so far.

Taken yesterday

Not the best pics, but believe me, after another storm, driving and a wash, they're just a shiny as the day I applied. These were taken with my phone, others were with one of my cameras.

I bought a can from Advanced Auto parts yesterday and gave it a try. Yes, it looks extremely shiny and does not sling when you let it dry for an hour. It's like lacquer for your tires and equally so doesn't look like it is easily removed.

So how does one go about removing this stuff, seems like this is permanent?
