Aqua Bead Water Based Dressing for Tires, Rubber and Plastic, 1 Gal.

This is a magic potion for classic car restoration. Interior, tires, engine and more - everything shines like new, even though prior some of the parts are 50+ years old. It's definitely a product I can trust. Just to be safe make sure you read instructions prior to use. I mixed mine 1:2 ratio and poured into clean bean sprayer since I use it a lot. Wipe the excess and let it dry completely.

I use this product almost daily and it does all jobs effectively. From protecting to making everything shine it’s perfect for the job.

This is amazing stuff my car looks great and new when I use this product it’s easy to use my leather and tires look new.

Good product. First of all, you should dilute this product as recommended. I did a 2:1 dilution with distilled water and quite honestly you could probably go with a 3:1 or maybe a 4 or 5:1 depending on how much "Shine" you want. The product is very thick, about the consistency of interior house paint. So a 2:1 dilution in a spray bottle is pushing it a bit, hence why I recommend a 3:1 at a minimum. I first tried it on my daughters car tires, and I have to say I was quite impressed. It applies very easily around the tire with just a few strokes of a brush (I use a fine bristle high end paint brush (widths depending on tire size)) to apply my tire dressings. It glides on almost like you're brushing on WD40. Even though it's water based and not oil based. It's "Slickery".. I let it soak for a bit then I went back and did a wipe down of the tire, with a dry microfiber cloth, to remove any excess. It seems to "Soak" into the tire pretty well, and it doesn't retain any kind of greasy or oily type look. Makes the rubber look wet and clean, but not greasy like a basted turkey.. Since it's a water based solution I wanted to let it dry and then test the "Fling Off" effect. And to my satisfaction, after a few hours, it didn't fling off like most silicone or tire dressings do. So I was pleased on that front. It's like it uses the water to distribute the product, then the water dries off and it leaves a thin layer. Almost like a layer of paraffin.. You can touch it and it's not greasy, and it's not like an exterior "Coating" like a paint, it definitely soaks into the tire. After a couple days I wanted to test the longevity factor. I drove the car through the usual exterior only type wash at a high end car wash. This car wash DOES touch the car, and the tires get a good blasting as well as some rotating tumblers that do touch the wheels and tires. I was pretty pleased with what I saw afterwards. The Tires still looked good, and did lose "Some" of the products affects but they still looked reasonably dressed and fresh.. Based on what I saw you could probably get 2 to 3 washes out of an application before you'd want to reapply it. It dawned on me this product would also be a good undercoating type product (where you spray your fender wells to make them look clean). I would recommend you dilute the product to 5:1 to achieve that affect. That would give you the clean look but not too shiny. It would liven up the plastic but not to excess. Also, this product should NOT be used on anything you'd be stepping on (with your feet) as it is very slippery, as silicone/dimethicone can be. I would not recommend it on things like a truck step rails, tuck bed liners, pedals and so forth.. If you have a sealer on your concrete driveway I'd also recommend you put a towel down and wrap it around the bottom of your tire to avoid getting it on the sealed concrete, it could become very slippery. It temporarily stained my concrete, but being water based it vapored off and left very little discoloration. Some of the recommendations for this product are for interior applications, but IMO, for me, I won't use it for that as I don't like shiny applications on the interior of the car. I also only use interior treatments that contain good UV protectants. Due to that I would much rather use Chemical Guys' "Innerclean" or KLASSE VR2 with a second wipe down to level set it. All in all I would say this is a great product and I will happily use it for a select few applications.

Pleasant smell, very good quality. Long lasting shine

I love this stuff and shoot it out of an Amazon sold cheapie paint spray gun. You can shoot it full strength for ultimate shine or dilute it with some water to get that brand new car look without the glossy mess. No need to use those individual spray cans that only last one tire and wheel well. A little bit of this stuff goes a LONG way. I use it on my black plastics and anything powder coated on my Jeep Gladiator. Even use it on the rooftop tent vinyl cover and awning cover. Shoot it into the wheel wells and it makes my Jeep look like it's fresh off the new car lot.

Very generous sizing! I mainly use this on my 2010 Honda Civic for tires and detailing the rubber and interior as it needs love! I followed the directions for diluting and it was easy to apply on tires. I particularly liked that there was not an offensive smell it's great. I am sensitive to odors so have to be careful. My son buys and resells vehicles and is constantly fixing them up. He was excited to get a nice sized trim/tire shine to help with upgrading those vehicles in need. This size is a great value as you dilute 3/1 and it will last forever. After you dilute, remember to shake before spraying as it does separate which is normal. Malco rocks! Thank you for allowing me to test a product for you it was a great experience and I will continue using Aqua Bead!

We have been using Aqua bead for a few years now. We have a dealership. I use on tires, antique and used vehicles. This is a great product. I have used many brands and the is the best so far.
