What's a good dilution ratio for tires?

After applying, should it be rubbed in real well? I'm just curious.:duel

I prefer to use it full strength on tires. If you have whitewalls or raised white lettering, you may want to use a scrub brush to maximize cleaning power. For blackwalls, I just apply the product with a foam paint brush or tire swipe. Let stand 15 minutes, and then buff with a dry towel.

:yeah

dilution would be if you want to use it on the interior...about 3:1

Ahh, thanks for the info. I guess I won't have to worrying about diluting!

I use it straight. I have an old wash mitt that I use to apply. One spritz on the mitt for each tire. It may take a little more the first few applications but that's all it takes now...after having used it for a while. Love it. Much better look, imo, than the Stoners MSLT I'd been using for a year or more.

Thumbs up!

If you prefer a high gloss finish, don't buff. I also like the looks when I apply with a terry towel, buffing as I go.
