Armour All Outlast Tire glaze - report
Yeah this is the stuff that lasts they say 100 washes....a friend got some so I tried it on one tire. Here's my opin of the good and bad:
the good; spray on easily nice gloss the bad - (and there's a lot of it) the gloss - certainly not a matte OEM new tire look it sprays on and it hard to get off the rim (more on that later) it runs as you can see here after 12 hours it's still tacky, so the first time the car moves, you pick up dust and it sticks and now the big one- it's gonna be a bitch to get off - a call to the AA tech line yeilds two things they recommend - Stoners Tarminator (or any bug and tar remover, I'm sure) and GOOGONE - yes, GOOGONE - which means its on there like 3M trim tape!!!

Glen e...thanks for the review.
Dealerships are notorious for using the most God awful shiny crap on tires when they prep. Don't know what my dealer used...don't think that it was this stuff...but the first thing I did once I got it in my garage was scrub it off (yes...it takes some work to get off). The tires looked like they were sprayed with high-gloss black paint. yuk!!! |
