Wow! Looks great! I've thought of trying Dlux on tires how much did you have to use for them?

Thank you. It was a nice car to do.

I'm lovin' the new CQ Finest Ver 6.

PERL is my favorite tire dressing.
It is a dressing and does not last.

Dlux on tires is my favorite tire coating.
It has a nice matte finish and it lasts.
It really does not take a lot to do them.
For those "better" details I always use it.
Give it a try and let us know your results.

Thank You!

Obviously, you know how to apply it flawlessly! Funny how folks on other sites who have Car Pro issues rarely, if ever, post on THIS site. Sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Thank you. Did I mention CQF looks GREAT on top of Xpel.

I'm not a big fan of "regular" CQuartz. application is fine...removal is a bit finicky IMHO.

CQuartz Finest Version 6 if a dream in both application AND removal. I love the new formula!

Hey Merlin, how did you apply the DLUX to the tires? They look great! How long long will it last?
