Tire Dressings That Are Good For the Arizona Desert Climate?

[Goose55]

I have used this Permatex No Touch tire dressing for a long time, but I just got some glorious, new Bridgestone Duravis tires on on my '19 Cummins dually and got wondering about this stuff. Though it is very easy to use, and leaves a nice semi gloss look (I don't like "wet look"), I wonder if it is good for the rubber. It claims to have UV protection, but who knows? What do some of you detailing experts use as a tire dressing that is actually--tried and true--good for the rubber? Tires degrade quickly in the s. Arizona climate and I'd like to know which product would be best.

I think alot of the tire dedicated newer products on the shelves are all fairly good. The manufacturers have added tire preserving fators into the products. They don't want to deteriorate the rubber, they want the opposite.

@Treburkulosis any insight here?

Does it say anything about dry rot? That is what harms tires.

Yup. Heat, oxygen and light age tires.

I love my Meguiars Endurance tire gel. Never seen it do anything negative to my tires in the 5+ years i've been using it.

Does it attract dust?

Does it attract dust?

A bit, but to be honest, you can't tell. The shine will come almost black if you were to drive for a week and then take a rag and wipe the tire, but the tire shine looks damn good still

If you don't like a "wet" look, use Lemon Pledge.

303 if you want protection

303 if you want protection

All I use. States on the bottle, designed to protect a variety of materials.

303 if you want protection

I see they have many products. Which have you found best, John?

What you 'all think of Armour All?

I think that is old tech. New tech is ceramic and graphene.

For tires?

For tires?

Yeah, I just picked up adams graphene tire dressing kit. I'm pretty curious to see how well it works.

I've used 303 products quite a bit on various applications and have liked them.

I know they make a couple ok products... I guess. But years ago when they were one of the few on the shelves, I found tires would brown not long after use. Now that said, alot of the brands have stepped their game up. Turtle wax for example. Alot of their products get attention from folks now. They have their Hybrid Solutions Graphene tire product that people like. And easy to get on lots of store shelves.

I'm going to try this:

Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Tire Shine, Durable High Gloss Shine that Lasts, G230416, 16 oz | Meguiar's

I want protection; I don't care about looks.

When I first used 303 they only had one, called Aerospace Protectant. Now they have a variety of titles for the product but I still use their Aerospace Protectant. I've used it on boats, vehicles, etc with great results. I especially like it as the last step when detailing my engine compartment. Learned that trick from a well known detailer friend. I can easily recommend the Aerospace Protectant.

old 303 is good - it is the application vs modern products where it falls behind
