303 Tire Balm and Protectant - Sling Free Formula - for A Long Lasting Adjustable Shine - Natural OR Satin Finish - Prevents Dry Rot, 12 fl. oz. (30387)

I originally wrote “if you want glossy tires, keep on going; if you want to preserve them, try this product.” I modified the process. I bought a couple of gallons of the original Aerospace 303 from a going out of business sale at $14/gallon. I dressed the tires with original 303 first according to directions, then the tire balm. It gave the tires a more natural appearance than spray-on tire dressings, and it LASTS.I was at a gas station in my beater car , a 1999 Cavalier when a guy comes up and says “what do you use on your tires?” When I told him, he said he had been looking for something like this. Another time, a lady just stared at the car. She then says “what do you do to your car?” I told her I take care of it but it was too late for the paint. She says “The tires look brand new.” My brother in law asked my wife if she had gotten new tires. They’ve been on the car a year. No one had ever said anything about the tire dressing on any of my cars, ever before.I’ve bought a lot of auto products, but this one seems to have worked out well. It’s pricey for sure but for UV protection and maintenance it’s a very good product. I am definitely going to try it on my RV tires.

I bought this primarily to use on my RV's tires as cracking (in our hot, dry climate of CO) can shorten the usable life of trailer tires terribly. Given that my intent is to protect the tires and is not to give them a high gloss shine (which looks a bit odd on a trailer), I was immediately impressed by how a single coat goes on easily and evenly, but as advertised, has very low shine. I power wash my trailer several times during the camping season and I'm impressed that after nearly 5000mi, the dirt is still releasing better from the tires than before and that the protectant still appears to be working. In fact, it's working well enough (and looking so good) that I decided my truck's tires looked goofy against the trailer and just recently applied a coat to them. I'm definitely planning to buy more of this when it runs out.

Very Nice Choice in Tire care, I like to use a product that you "apply", I don't care for the Spray type that might be a lot easier, but the Look's and the quality of a liquid balm is much better, the results last much longer. While use a liquid balm type product the rims stay nice and clean also. I found that using 303, Tire Balm & Protection, can be apply very fast, but You must use in a cool location and not in the SUN. I use this product all the time on my Porsche 928, during the summer. I have won a few Awards, and I knew that my tires were clean, I also apply this to the wheel-well of the car, all the rubber trim as well. Very Nice Make in America Product, not like My Fine Porsche

Man, 303 has good timing, if nothing else - I had just finished washing and drying my truck (big F250 4x4 Crew Cab, so I procrastinate doing it), got everything dried, and put my microfiber towels in the wash. The mail carrier came by and dropped off a package I wasn't really expecting today. Whoa, it's the 303 tire balm! And here I am with clean dry tires! Well, let's give it a shot.I've been using the regular 303 Protectant (they used to call it Aerospace Protectant) on my tires because I like the matte, low-sheen finish. The problem was that if there was any wind, I'd often skip it to prevent accidentally getting overspray on my paint and trim. It wouldn't hurt it, it was just unsightly.I wasn't sure how I'd like using a wipe-on product instead, though. This one applies pretty easily, and spreads out well. It's definitely a liquid, but it's kind of sticky and gluey, so it doesn't run off as you are applying it. I got all four tires done in pretty short order, and let them dry before coming back out to make an assessment.First, the good: I like the sheen level. My tires had been neglected for awhile, had a lot of brake dust on them, and were browning quite a bit so I scrubbed them with some pretty concentrated Chemical Guys wheel cleaner. So they were really dry and had no residual dressing on them at all. The 303 Tire Balm gave them a nice black sheen without any residual brown.Now, the not-so-good: Maybe because they were in fact so dry and absorbed a lot of the product, I got a lot of streaking. I will go back and reapply and see if that helps and if it significantly changes the sheen level.But overall, I'm pretty happy with the product and look forward to using it more. It has a pleasant scent... can't place it, maybe grape? And is easy to clean up your hands and applicator with warm water and soap. I've never had a tire dressing last as long as I think it should, so I don't have unrealistic expectations there but we'll see how it does.

This is an awesome product! I bought it mainly for conditioning the older tires from our RV. Once applied it made the tires look like newer tires. Excited about the results I actually applied the Protectant on all our cars' tires. Since the Rv tires were really dry I applied a second coat. Several weeks later I checked the RV tires and they still looked as good as when the product was first applied. I have to say though that all our vehicles are covered or in garages. The smell of the product was pleasant, too. Did not really need a lot of it to cover the tires. I also used it on the plastic bumper on our Geo Tracker and plastic parts of our 90's Chevy wagon. Made them look great, too! This will be my new constant for protecting all our car tires!

This product work so well,,I'm in Florida and the UV and sun, can make tires start to dry rot prematurely, just from the heat on the road,, I scrubbed my tires just as their direction said,, then one by one I applied one coat to each Michelin tire, I can visibly see the difference immediately.It was almost like putting lotion on dry skin.The best thing is it's water-based, so all you have to do is take a wet rag wipe it down and reapply whenever you feel.. this stuff is amazing !! and would recommend it to anybody.,, It will literally make your tires look like brand new,, and condition them from the sun's harmful UV rays,,.Scott
