Thanks and I know what you mean about aerosol dressings eating up the $$ I was using Stoners Trim Shine but you go through so much that it just is not as cost effective as the Megs HD. Just have to find a method to get the exact same look and I found that method.

Thanks for the reviews... sucks that the weather didn't work for you on your vacation!
It gives just a little bit more shine than SC which makes it a little more liked by clients. Not all like the matte look you get from SC like you and I do. Pneu gives it just a little more without looking greasy shiny.

I use a high volume sprayer for the Megs ASD just like I do for Bare Bones or Adams. You are right a regular sprayer just doesn't cut it but the high volume one does a great job.

Yes I have and it is good but reminds me of SC Beyond Black.

All of them were very good products and I'm glad I have them.

So you like Pneu better. What other water based dressing do you like
? I am trying to find a cost effective alternative to Zaino. Maybe optimum.

The products I use right now and in order of my favorites would be:

1. SV Pneu
2. CGs VRP
3. Optimum Tire Shine
4. Megs HD @ 1:1
5. SC Beyond Black
6. Optimum Opti-Bond (the only gel that I like and the shiniest dressing that I will use. I only use this for customers that really want some shine and prefer the look of a solvent based dressing)

Now for my cars the list would look like this because I maintain my tires regularly so these give the exact look I'm looking for:

1. SV Pneu
2. Megs HD @ 1:1
3. CGs VRP (this ranks 3rd because thats what my wife wants on her's Megs HD topped with VRP)
4. SC Beyond Black

I don't use any of the others on my own vehicles.

JL, how is the sling factor on these dressings, this is why optimum gel is my favorite, it doesn't sling down the side of my vette and has a nice look. You and Phil have me getting Pneu but just wanted some info on sling.

No sling on any of them! That's one of the reasons along with shine factor that I use them. That is also the reason that Optimum Tire Bond is the only gel I like because it doesn't sling. It gives more shine than any of the others but doesn't sling. But any dressings you see me use you can rest assured it doesn't sling because if it does I never use it again.

Thanks for the reviews JL!! Can't optibond be diluted also? I have read of people spraying it through paintguns. Have you tried it diluted?

Thanks for the reviews. I love ASD. It's my fav tire dressing. Just the right look. Not to shiny or matte.

I think it can be diluted if you use the paintgun. In fact I think Optimum sells a gun specifically for it. I apply by applicator so I haven't diluted it.

No problem glad I finally got some time to do the reviews. I have a few more coming.
