New Turtle Wax Tire Shine + Flex Wax

Here is a pic of the new Turtle Wax graphene & acrylic tire shine on the Camaro. I followed the instructions: apply, wait 5 minutes and buff the excess. I had to wipe them down again the next day because some of the product was "caught" in the grooves and seeped out onto the tire making it look blotchy.

The other pic is after a full day of polishing with HS Polish & Wax on a Meguiar's cutting pad, followed by an application of Flex Wax graphene. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH the importance of using the 'damp towel / dry towel' removal method. It makes it SO much easier and the results are far better. Even with yesterday's heat (~85*) the graphene Flex Wax removed very easily and you can see the results...there was NO streaking or smearing.

What do you think?

Nic job. That really put a shine on there. Tire dressing looks nice as well.

Thanks! Not bad for an almost 10 year old car with 159,900 miles on it - plus a daily driver even through the Ohio winters.

Looks amazing especially for the miles. I get a lot of people say my car looks amazing too for 80k miles. The paint on these cars is damn good
