It'll be on the watery side, but a little will go a LONG way! Great stuff!

Very watery. It is difficult to keep on the applicator pad.

Hmmmm, well it says new and improved formula on the bottle, so this may just be how it is now. The bottle I have in my garage doesn't have that on the front label and the product itself looks way different. The older version I have is watery and clear. I might have to order a new bottle to check out the differences!

I bought it before checking reviews on the new formula, several people who had the old formula aren't happy with the new.

Hmmm, if I remember correctly, mine is a silvery color, very hydrophobic.

They updated the formula recently and the biggest change is the consistency. I think people complained that it was hard to keep on the sponge because it tends to drip or absorb because it's so watery. Sit back and enjoy the new version!

How is this stuff? I have never heard of it. I have been using either Armor All Extreme Tire Shine in the squeeze bottle or Chemical Guys Trim Gel. Both work great for me so I really haven't been on the look out for anything new.

I bought this stuff through Amazon, I gave it a one star rating only because there isn't a zero star rating. If you're happy with the results of the products you're using then I would suggest staying with them, on the other hand, if want to waste $30 then go ahead and buy this product.

I don't have experience with it... got to use up my old stock first.

Guessing you don't like it. Why not?

It feels greasy, smears and in general is the worse tire product I've ever used. I can buy over the counter tire dressing that's better than this stuff. Again, worse tire dressing I've ever used, I'd be interested in your thoughts of this stuff if you ever try it.
