Hey guys!
My first review so please take it easy on me. This will be an ongoing review because I just applied the product today, so I will edit this post every week or so to show the wear.
So today I'm reviewing a new product from Black Magic called the 'Tire Wet Wax':
The package includes the tube of wax itself and an applicator sponge:
I found this at AutoZone while browsing the cleaning products. This product claims to last up close to 8-10 week and also give "the deepest shine" of any product out there. I love my tires to look super wet and I hate applying tire foam every week, so all of this appealed to me.
The liquid comes out clear and gooey and takes about a 2-3 minutes per tire to apply to make sure that you get into all of the grooves, crevasses and lettering. You have to make sure to clean each tire as best as possible or else the dirt will get trapped behind the wax and I'm sure that wouldn't look too good. For that, i just used some degreaser and a tire brush that I also bought from Autozone.
The sponge that comes with it, IMO, is cheap and can only be used once. Even though my tires were clean, it still gets very VERY dirty and greasy and is extremely difficult to wash out. I imagine any old sponge will do when I reapply the wax in the future.
The wax, after 5 hours, is relatively dry to the touch already and I imagine after another day it will be dried completely. As of right now, it still feels a tiny bit greasy on the wheel.
Also, I haven't noticed any "slinging" which I expected since the wax is so thick.
One last note, the packaging says as a "pro-tip", you can also use this product inside your wheelwell to make that look nice and shiny too but I'm way too lazy to go ahead and do that!!!
Again, I will update this weekly.
Thanks for reading!!!
Here are pics afterwards:
