When your down at mine at the end of the day will give your tyres a quick clean and try carpro pearl on them and see what you think see if you notice any sling.


T1 will answer that soon (durability) as its out on a few cars and my own as of sunday so will see how it goes it does dry nice so hoping i will see good things from it.

Thanks Lee. Will be interesting to try the Carpro stuff :thumbup:

Hopefully I will be applying T1 to my car on Saturday so will see what the durability is like. :eusa-think:

Applied Gtechniq T1 to my tyres yesterday. Put 2 coats on, for a glossy finish. Wiped the tyres down this morning before driving and very pleased to report that there was no sling. Great news :thumbup:

Have to see what durability is like now but all good so far. Anything with no sling is great in my book and the tyres have a lovely glossiness to them.
A very happy bunny :dance:

Ive said it before, and will reiterate......................All my motoring life, (Some 50 cars owned over the years), I have kept my tyres looking prestigne with liquid Shoe polish, then Buffed accordingly.
Why not give it a try and see for yourselfs.

How often do you have to re-apply? And importantly, does it sling?

My pleasure :D

Reported to last at least 2 months, if not longer. I'm not sure I could go that long without re-applying it at some point, but we'll see.

Well there is actually. I've used more than my fair share of tyre dressings on the RCZ and I can say that Swissvax Pneu and now the Gtechniq T1 DO NOT SLING. Categorically :thumbup:

Well when you look at it in the bottle it looks like water but it is actually a gel, but not as thick as Meguiars Endurance gel, if you've used that. I just put a small drop on a foam applicator pad which did half a tyre. Then same again for the rest of the tyre. I didn't use much at all and if it lasts as long as its claimed, then I can see the bottle lasting for quite some time indeed. I hope this helps.

Hi Brad,

I use the liquid stuff,(Brands have been variable), ie the type in a plasic container with the Sponge applicator attached. Being liquid it is obviously easier to apply

Hi Mel,

I usually pay approx £1.50 per bottle ! 1 I only need to reapply infrequently, and I think it is good for approx, 16-20 tyres !! Obviously its down to your own enthusiasm

Regards,

Mal
