Thanks for the write-up JL

Hope you enjoying the time with the family on vacation

Interesting that you tested the Meg's HD, Rustbucket just got himself a sample from a Meg's detailing day we went to. Have you used 303 and how does the HD compare if you have ?

Cheers and enjoy

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.
Thank You. I have only been buying my products off the internet for a few months so i haven't tried all these products. And word is your the man to ask. you came through with this one. Thanks

Vacation is going great! And yes I have used 303 and for the outside of the car the Megs HD is better to me. I like 303 on interior but not as much as some other products. I would choose Megs HD over the 303.

Question Durable?

I have a lot of exterior rubber trim on my car... Are there any dressings that do not run in the rain or wash off?

I read somewhere that the type of dressing affects whether it can be washed off easily or not... I have tried both water soluble and silicone and both wash off even after drying for a week before getting rained on.

Even at $18 for the swissvax pneu if it would not wash off it would be worth it for me.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.


What about 'Duragloss Rubber & Flat Black Dressing (RBD) #271'?

Or 'Duragloss Tire & Rubber Mat Dressing (TMD) #253'? It says Rain Repel right on the bottle?

Or 'Duragloss Non Silicone Tire Dressing (NSD) #321' ?

Any Recommendations?
