  • Tire Dressing poll

    I'm bored, but curious as to everyone's preferance. Do you like the wet look, satin look or bare natural rubber? I know some of you will instantly say "Zaino" and I agree, just curious as to the look that people prefer.

    I don't mean to muddy the waters, but, since you are bored, how do I put a picture on the bottom like yours is? I've got a picture online now.

      I used to put Armour all on. There is a glossy and dull coat) I now just clean my tires with dishwashing soap ( Tires and plastic wheel wells only). It seems to look the best.

        Take the link address and put "[img]" in front of it. Then at the end of the address put "[/img] "

        this will allow you to post a pic in either your signature or in the main body of your post.

            what i like about zaino's look is the deep dark clean natural rubber look...... and when it dries..it does not sling snot on the fenders ........ its also super on all weather striping. all my rubber on both birds looks brand new, thanks to z16. the comp will be 7 years old this march.......brand new. that says alot.

              I must confess, I'm the muddy guy. I have these crappy HR's on there and I am hoping the darn things will wearout so I can get some new meats.

              Thanx Joe!

                    bare...and.... natural

                    and for tires, Zaino does the trick.....like Ken said, it doesn't sling, and it holds up better than other dressings IMO...

                          the meguiars gold class rules..doesn't sling or fling

                          when you wash your tires, you won't need to reapply it till the 2nd washing.

                          this stuff is the best.

                          zaino probably rebadges it as its own.

                          zaino doesnt have a manufacturing facility. how else would one do it?

                            Can't do that as there are trade infringement rules against this.... the exception is if the product is used in a manner that is different than what the original manufacturer intended, and then with written permission the product could be repackaged and marketed. Have you been to Sal's shop? Have you tried both products? Have you taken a sample of each to show it is the identical formula? One doesn't need a manufacturing facility to market a unique product. Outsourcing production is commonplace in all forms of manufacturing, it is all about low production cost.
