Hi Zach, if your offer to supply Tuf Shine still stands, I would like to do the test with you.

I have a DSLR, tripod, and can shoot in full manual. Please PM me if you're willing.

I'd be happy to provide a 6 oz bottle of Tuf Shine Tire Clear Coat if you purchase the competitor and document the testing over the course of say, 6-12 months for the forum.. I'll pm you

Thanks to Eric for stepping in and ordering the Permagloss product. He has agreed to do an in depth comparison vs. Tuf Shine Tire Clear Coat and share his results with the forum!

Thanks Zach for your contribution to the testing. Looking forward to seeing how these products compare. The Permagloss will ship via UPS Ground (8 day) so I am unlikely to post anything until 5/7 at the earliest.

If this stuff works really good then I will be interested in buying some as well.

I have been using turtle wax endura shine tire coating. It also says lasts up to a year. I applied two coats to the tire back in November. It is still holding up very well. Way better than normal tire shine. This is right after I applied it.

I applied it to the BMW at the same time as the Lexus. This is a picture from now. November to April. All that has been done to maintain it is wash it just like the rest of the car.

Thanks Coleroad for your post. I tried it on my 2007 SC430 and it looks great.
My advice when you apply the black sealing coat make sure you pour it very SLOWLY on the applicator sponge as it comes out extremely fast. I would also have a wet towel with dish detergent ready to go in case you get some of the black sealant on your rims.
I applied very thin coats of the sealant and waited 10 minutes between coats. I put (4) coats of black sealant on tires and if they stay looking like this...we are all good.

Here is a u-Tube video demo...


Thanks again as I would not have known about this Turtle Wax Jet Black Tire Coat Kit.
