    Had not heard of tyre feeder until now. I've been using Pearl and Optimum TPC for a long time now and have always gotten excellent results and longevity in all my vinyl, trim and tire applications.
    Will need to do some research on tyre feeder.

    Mine shipped Wednesday. I thought 2 days was a little quick. Then again I paid a bunch for shipping. Still worked out to be $19 a bottle so I can't complain.

    My order is small, so it may have ended up with the post office.

    Took your advice and cleaned tires 4 times before applying the TUF shine lol. Will update with before and after pics in the morning. I noticed a little bit of run (barely noticeable) on one or two of the tires which is from me not letting the 2nd coat dry before I left the car wash and headed home. Didn’t sling anything on the truck itself though. May go over it with one more light coat to try to correct it first thing in the am. Idk how easy the tyre feeder is to apply, but this TUF shine was kind of a pain to apply on aggressive tires with the included foam applicator. Should have researched and found a better one to use before hand but oh well. Probably would have been easier with one of the textured ones instead of flat foam.

    Before and after cleaning with Shine Supply Wise Guy tire cleaner followed by two light coats of TUF Shine 20 mins apart. The small streaks I mentioned last night aren’t noticeable in the sun but I may apply one final coat this evening anyway. Two coats gave me the matte look I was going for and the tires look new. Have had these tires a little over a year and this is the very first time using any product at all on them.

    is this the shine that's hard as heck to get off? I love the look but I want a shine that when I clean my wheels and tires it comes off and I can reapply if I choose to do so

    They look great. I did a tire coating on those same tires and definitely wish I had a better applicator. I ended up buying a small airbrush that works really well but a textured applicator helps, I think Adams makes a good one, one of the items from Adam's that I actually like. Either way yours look amazing man. Keep us posted.

    It should last for months, itll come off in areas you scuff the tire on a rock, root, or curb but you can just touch up those spots. You're good to go man. Nice job, you'll love it.

    Thanks! I went this morning and picked up a textured applicator (cheap one from auto parts store that started falling apart on the 2nd tire) and decided to do one more coat just to make sure I got all the little crevices. I’m excited to see how long the 3 coats will last. Will update in a month or so. Also picked up a megs synthetic clay bar2.0 to test out in a few days when I get time to give the truck a strip wash/iron-x/coat of car guys liquid wax high gloss paint sealant. BTW I also used the TUF Shine on my husky floor mats and they came out great. Followed the same routine, cleaned real good with the shine supply tire cleaner and did a single coat of TUF shine.

    After 3rd coat:

    Looking great Mike. That coating should last several months and look just like it does right bow believe it or not

    Looks great! I know the Optimum tire coating lasts a really long time. I need to reapply to ours, actually. I’ve been lazy and used Waxaddict or other tire shines lately.

    I’m a little concerned. My order shipped 10/4, and I’ve gotten no update at all. I emailed Waxaddict to get a tracking number, so hopefully I’ll know something soon. This is the biggest issue in dealing with them.

    Finally got a tracking number. It’s with the post office now in Illinois. I also forgot about Waxaddict requiring a signature on all of their shipments.

    Waxaddict is tempting me now. It’d still be $150.00 for a jar of wax, but man this stuff is awesome....

    @War Machine I recently got some wax as a free sample. It's a big tub of what I think is good wax. I'll look and see what it is. If you want it, it's yours. Its not as good as vortex obviously but I think I read it was good wax

    I havent used wax in years. But you know what. I should use it for my truck now over this failing DPC crap. It's a perfect time to try something new

    I was never a fan either, as it doesn’t last long, and a good paste wax takes some effort to apply. It was never worth the time for me. I started messing around with it earlier this year just because, and I’ve become pretty fond of it.
    That sample of Vortex I got last year knocked my socks off, but I couldn’t pay that price for it. Decided to try Shine Supply Signature Shine and I really dig it. As much as I love some of the sealants I use, nothing looks as good as a good wax does.
    I still don’t like the spray waxes or liquid waxes very much. They don’t seem to have the effect that paste wax does.

    I bet your blue paint would look pretty sick with a wax applied.

    I really do not like liquid or spray wax either, sealants yes, wax no. This paste wax looks good and reviews were pretty solid. I'll give it a try, even if it lasts a couple weeks that fine. I'm just counting the days for the DPC to wear off.

    And what better way to give your G9 a test run, like I just did this afternoon?
