Tire Protectants


Recommended Posts

From what I have seen nope. (in my 22 years of experience) I have been using a light acid/degreaser to clean my wheels and rims and is working well. I have heard on a motorcycle forum that "bleach white" works very well.

Aside from building an armored tank, and foam filling them, I don't know what to tell ya ;-) I run threw a set every 12-16 months, so, new real reason to get very excited about putting stuff on em...

Actually I use a product call Tuf Shine Tire Clearcoat. I've tried them all and this one actually works. I've been using it for the last few years and am very pleased. I last applied mine on my F-150 last fall and I still can see the product protecting the tire. The more coats you apply the more it protects and adds more shine. I will quote you from their site since they say it better them I can;

Quote:
The water-based formula contains NO silicones or oils, and provides a shine that will last for several months. TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat dries to the touch in just seconds and will not crack. If you are tired of using "run of the mill" tire dressings that leave an oily, sticky residue and attracts dust and dirt, then this is the product for you.

TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is the complete opposite. It seals the rubber and keeps factory lubricants from escaping. It has anti-static properties that repel dust, dirt and water. The superior UV and ozone protection provided by TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat adds to the longevity of the sidewalls.

TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat will coat and seal whitewalls and raised white lettering to keep them looking bright and white. This remarkable tire finish will not "brown," there is no "spin-off" or residue of any kind, and it will withstand repeated pressure washings.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
