I usually coat twice for more natural flat look but it can be coated many times for shinier look.

Nice I actually like how your tires look. I think my dad used to use this stuff. I'll ask him again! Does it come in a small bottle with a foam applicator?

This is the only over the counter product I use on my car. Its great. What most dont know is that its water-based and not silicone. I use a few coats for more gloss. The secret to this or any tire shine is to let it sit. So, when I use it. Its always before I park for the evening. When you come back, your tires shine. The other great thing is this product lasts. I normally go 2 weeks to 4 week per application and the tires still shine. It even lasts after rain.

A solid recommendation if you ask me.

I've been using Tire Wet for years and haven't had a yellow tire since.

Good stuff! I use it as well!
