Roger, all I can contribute is from personal observation of tires with it applied (without known expertise of the applicant)... looks like the tires' were painted with rustoleum out of a can... Is that a draw-back? Oh well, hopefully someone with personal experience will pipe in. I just scrubbed by '71-2 dated tires with a stiff brush and Comet cleanzer (I also prefer the flat to semi-flat appearance).

Its a black pigmented polymer dressing that claims it WILL RESTORE THE FADED BRONZE LOOK OF YOUR TIRES TO THEIR ORIGINAL APPEARANCE. Claims to last 3-4 months. It says not to get it on white letters! Just wondering if it works very well and is there any drawbacks to using it? Roger 70 gt500 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
