Brand New size for Exceldetail. Water based Optimum OptiBond Tire Gel! No slinging, and lasts and lasts! Dilute with water to reduce sheen. Can be applied with an applicator by hand or with spray apparatus and compressor. Protects from U.V. rays, and helps insulate from drying and natural weathering. Can also be used on all rubber, vinyl and plastic trims. Provides richness and depth to older tires, and keeps new tires, looking awesome! Another winner from Optimum.

I've thought about trying it but I have way too many tire dressings at this point in time. I guess I'll order some when I get a response from Patrick, LoL (I think you might know what I'm referring to).

mrclrider

do you think that the gel diluted would apply well with a paint brush? I like using a paint brush, keeps my hands nice and clean, but if you can recommend a different application process that would be great. This is probably going to be ordered with my ONR here soon.

mrclrider

Placed my order just now Pat...figured if I kept the money in my pocket I would just spend it on coffee or lunch, might as well spend it on something useful!! LOL!!

exceldetail

LMAO! Ships today Matts, thank you!

mrclrider

oh yea!!!! at 1-1 what sheen does it give tires?? also at that dilution, does it reduce the effectiveness to absorb into the tire and last for a while?? What is your method of application?? are you spraying it through a bottle, using it straight from the bottle?? I've metioned before I like the paint brush, but thinking about trying a craft spong brush thing..

Dale uses it quite a bit and has more tips than I probably do! Im going to wait and see if any of his applications tech's are close to mine....
"Breaker breaker, Dale ya'll gotchyur ears on??"

I use it 3/1 water / gel ... I tried 4/1 on a spray gun but I don't think I had the settings right and gave up.

I apply with those small cheap kitchen sponges from the $$ store for like 12/$1. Basically a throw away after a few uses.

mrclrider

wow, that is quite a dilution...and it still lasts for a while...I might pour out my Megs Hot Shine and pour the Optimum in it, LOL.

Yeah, I'm thinking of going with the cheap kitchen sponges too. There hasn't been anything yet that I've truly liked and has lasted long enough for me.

You may need to bite the Tuf Shine Bullet Denzil......

Hehe but I have Tuf Shine! I'm still in the process of testing it so I can't pass judgment on it yet.

exceldetail

Ooooooooooooops...

Jesstzn

Denzil .. forgive Patrick... he is old and needs his sleep ..

I buy them a 1/2 Doz. packages at a time .. at $0.08 each you don't mind 4 uses then throw them out when they are soiled.

I just got Opti-Bond from Patrick and it's excellent stuff. I went to Parts America and bought a $1.00 tire applicator sponge, poured a small amount across the sponge and applied to the tires.

when it comes in I will let you all know how I like it when applied by paint brush or sponge, I might try and include pics.

I apply OB with your basic tire applicator...works great. I put it in a york-style bottle (the same as what I have all of my polishes in) which makes it much easier for getting the product onto the applicator.

mrclrider

like a ketchup bottle??

TSC17

Yep, like you may find in a restaurant.

mrclrider

sweet!! those are sold at Wally world for like a buck!! if we had a rep point system, you would definently get one for that, one of those things that I wished I would have thought about!!
