A message from Max…

I've been in the car care industry for over 25 years and I've seen a lot ofchanges. When I started out, car care products were limited to car wash, polish,and wax. Detailing at home consisted of a quick wash and wax! If you wantedany compounding or paint correcting, you took your vehicle to a professionaldetailer or body shop.

When I decided to venture into the manufacture of car care products nearly tenyears ago, the industry still favored the professional. Products weren't as user-friendly as they are today, and the consumer demand wasn't as strong for do-it-yourself car care. For these reasons, I created and launched Detailer's Pride forthe professional detailing industry.

Detailer's Pride was my first brand of products, and creating it was quite anexperience. It was learning process as well as a creating process. I knew what Iwanted from a product, but I had to know what a detailer wanted. These guysare the ones in the garages using the products every day, and their opinions arewhat shaped the Detailer's Pride line. It took countless conversations, producttests, and re-formulations to arrive at the products that finally received theDetailer's Pride label. In the end, I believe we created some of the best productson the market…

But that was over a decade ago. Time certainly flies! Since then, I've added toand improved Pinnacle Natural Brilliance, and I've created Wolfgang ConcoursSeries, a line of products formulated using state-of-the-art German technology.With each brand, I discovered that car care technology is constantly changing.Research into paint care has revealed oils and cleaning agents that actuallyleave the paint in better condition than before it was washed. New polymersallow waxes and sealants to last longer and protect better than ever before. Thelatest cleaning technology replaces harsh solvents with surface-friendlysurfactants that can be used almost anywhere. The industry has come a longway!

With all these improvements in car care, I thought it was the perfect time toupdate Detailer's Pride. I took everything I have learned through thedevelopment of Pinnacle Natural Brilliance and Wolfgang Concours Series andapplied it to this new project. I improved the formulas, the labels, and the nameto reflect what is now possible in car care. To celebrate the rebirth of Detailer'sPride, I've abbreviated the name to DPTM.

I am pleased to introduce DPTM - exceptional car care products for theprofessional, enthusiast, and everyday driver!

DPTM consists of 20 completely new products. I've re-formulated a few oldfavorites to reflect modern surface enhancement technology, and I've createdseveral products from scratch. All of them are packaged with new, detailed userinstructions and a fresh, new look. Once again, I relied on professional detailersand enthusiasts to try out these products and give us feedback. Their commentsand concerns helped me make a line of technologically advanced yet user-friendly products that will appeal to anyone with an interest in making vehicleslook their best. All DPTM products meet or exceed Federal and California VOCregulations without sacrificing results, and they are an excellent value.

The mission of DPTM is to make professional-quality car care available toeveryone by utilizing the latest advances in the industry. I believe we'veaccomplished that goal and so much more. Two additions to the line that I'mparticularly proud of are DPTM Wheel Glaze and DPTM Spray Surface Shield.Wheel Glaze is an advanced wheel surface cleaner and protectant that reducesbrake dust adhesion and preserves the wheel's appearance. Wheel protection isstill a relatively new idea in the industry and we're happy to have one of the firstwheel protectants on the market.

DPTM Spray Surface Shield is one of the first products of its kind. It's a premiumpaint sealant in a spray formula. It provides virtually the same paint protectionand enhancement as a traditional sealant, but the spray formula makes itexceptionally quick and easy to apply. It took months of research anddevelopment to get the right combination of ingredients, but we think you'lllove the result.

Another product of note is DPTM Max Wax. This is a pure carnauba paste waxthat will give your paint a deep, liquid shimmer. The clarity and multi-dimensional quality of this wax impressed me so much, I put my name on it. I'mso confident in its performance that I challenge you to try it next to any carnaubapaste wax in its class. The quality and value of this wax can't be beat, and I'mwilling to stake my name on it.

Quality, performance, and value are as important today as they were a decadeago. DPTM continues to represent a high standard in auto care that enthusiasts,professionals, and casual detailers can appreciate. With DPTM, you don't have tobe a professional to detail like one.

Happy Detailing,

DPTM Waterless Auto Wash

Decades ago, it was widely believed that the best way to wash a vehicle was with dishsoap. Later, several luxury car companies recommended washing their cars using plainwater. Now we know that washing a vehicle safely requires more than water and soap- it requires a blend of lubricating oils and cleaning agents that both cleanse the paintand protect it. DPTM Auto Bath Shampoo has these qualities plus paint conditioners torefresh your vehicle's paint, leaving it in better condition than before it was washed.Think of it as a shampoo and conditioner in one for your vehicle!

DPTM Auto Bath Shampoo contains no soap or detergent. Alkaline cleaners like thesecan remove protective coatings and dull the finish. Instead, Auto Bath Shampoocontains TUFF SUDS II, an advanced cleaning agent that is suspended in the suds' wallsto scour away tough grime. It will not remove wax or sealant coatings. In addition, oilsin the shampoo act as a lubricant to allow gritty contaminants to slide off the paint inthe rinse water without scratching. These same oils "wet" the paint to create abrighter, shinier finish.

The ultra-gentle formula is clean-rinsing and easy to use. DPTM Auto Bath Shampoo willnot leave a film on your vehicle and it helps prevent water spots. Water sheets off thefreshly washed paint. Because the existing protective coat is still in tact, remainingwater will bead on the surface of the paint, rather than etching the clear coat.Suddenly, washing your vehicle as usual will yield uncommonly beautiful results!

DPTM Auto Bath Shampoois an excellent value, too.One or two ounces ofshampoo is all you needto wash your entirevehicle, no matter howlarge, and it will producemounds of rich suds.

Detailing clay is the safest, most effective way to remove embedded contaminantsfrom your vehicle's paint. In recent years, it has become popular among professionaland weekend detailers alike because it renders a glassy, smooth surface that shines likenew paint. The only risk associated with claying is the possibility of creating scratchesas gritty particles are pulled out of the clear coat, but the risk is eliminated with theadvent of clay lubricants, like DPTM Universal Clay Lubricant.

In the infancy of detailing clay, soapy water was recommended as an adequatelubricant. We now know there are a number of disadvantages, such as the lubricantsin the wash may be too diluted by the water to provide any real paint protection. Also,the chemicals used in some car washes may contribute to the deterioration of the claybar. Using a lubricant specially formulated for clay is the best way to prolong the lifeof the clay and protect your vehicle from scratches.

DPTM Universal Clay Lubricant is a high lubricity formula that allows gritty particlesremoved from the clearcoat to glide just above the surface of the paint. It thoroughlywets the paint surface to enable you to rub the clay bar effortlessly. The lubricant spraycontains no gloss agents so you can see the true results of the clay bar. When you arefinished claying an area, use DPTM Universal Clay Lubricant to remove any clay residue.It can also be used to remove fingerprints and dust in between details. The water-basedformula will not degrade synthetic or natural clay, and overspray will not affect glass,metal, plastic, or rubber. Use it with DPTM Universal Detailing Clay to create a smooth,silky finish that is completely clean. Both the DPTM Universal Detailing Clay and theDPTM Universal Clay Lubricant can be mixed and matched with other clays andlubricants without affecting the performance of either.

Continue moving thebar until it glides freely. Wipe off clay residue.Reshape bar often to reveal clean clay as youwork.

Clear coat automotive finishes were created in the 1980s as a more attractivealternative to single stage paint finishes. This new type of finish was more prone toairborne contaminants and industrial pollution, so a new way of cleaning was in order.Contaminants become embedded in clear coats and the only way to remove them isby pulling them out rather than washing them off. Clay was invented in 1987 in Japan,and soon after an American company created its own version and began marketing itto detail shops and car dealers. Now clay is a widely available, mainstream cleaningoption that professionals and hobbyists rely on to get their vehicles completely clean.

DPTM Universal Detailing Clay is a special clay compound that safely and quicklyremoves contaminants that penetrate below the clear coat surface. Clay works bygrabbing foreign particles and pulling them out of the clear coat as you rub the baracross the paint surface. Washing only removes surface contaminants, but your vehiclemay still have microscopic particles embedded in the clear coat. These particles arehard to see individually, but together they can cause dull, rough patches that detractfrom the paint's appearance. DPTM Universal Detailing Clay will remove thesecontaminants and restore a glassy smooth finish to your vehicle. Once wax is applied,the paint will feel silky smooth and have a bright, glossy shimmer.

If industrial pollution, brake dust, bugs, tar, and sand are allowed to remain lodged inyour vehicle's paint, they create tiny openings in the protective clear coat. Over time,air and water can enter these openings and cause the paint system to fail. Claying yourvehicle periodically will prevent paint system failure and enhance the performance ofyour favorite wax by creating an ultra-slick surface.

DPTM Universal Detailing Clay requires the use of a lubricant to ease the clay acrossthe painted surface. Use DPTM Universal Clay Lubricant. Its high lubricity formulaallows loosened contaminants to easily absorb into the clay. The clay material willglide, not stick and pull, if the bar is kept well-lubricated throughout the clayingprocess. Both the DPTM Universal Detailing Clay and the DPTM Universal Clay Lubricantcan be mixed and matched with other clays and lubricants without affecting theperformance of either.

Use DPTM Universal Detailing Clay on a freshly washed vehicle. Spray area to be clayedwith DPTM Universal Clay Lubricant. Gently rub the clay bar back and forth across thewet surface. Clay will grab initially. Continue moving the bar until it glides freely.Wipe off clay residue. Reshape bar often to reveal clean clay as you work. The secretto preserving and extending the life of the clay material is to spray the clay bar withlubricant prior to storing it in its plastic case.

Clay can also be used to remove stubborn debris from wheels. Wash them first usingDPTM Gel Wheel Cleaner. Spray DPTM Universal Clay Lubricant over wheel surface andclay your wheels just as you would clay the paint.

Since its introduction, detailing clay has been priced according to its limited demand.Now that the use of clay is more widespread, DPTM Universal Detailing Clay can beoffered at a price that professional detailers and at-home perfectionists will enjoy.Experience the difference clay makes on your own vehicle with DPTM UniversalDetailing Clay.

Clay your way to a silky smooth finish with a bright glossyshimmer!

Once wax is applied, thearea will be indistinguishable from the rest of the vehicle.

When polish begins to dry, stop polishing. Buff off haze using

a clean, soft microfiber towel. For best results,use out of direct sunlight on a cool surface.Always follow with a wax or sealant.

Lasting sealant protection in a spray!

DPTM Spray Surface Shield

The paint sealant has taken over the car care industry inrecent years due to the unbeatable longevity and easyapplication of sealants versus wax. Thirty years ago, noone used anything but carnauba wax to preserve theirvehicle's paint. It was regarded as the best and only formof paint protection available. Professional detailers, enthusiasts, and savvy consumersnow know that paint sealants provide superior durability over carnauba. A paintsealant can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on the climate, but the verybest carnauba should be applied at least every two months. Sealants go on easier andnewer formulas create a shine that is remarkably close to a carnauba finish.

DPTM has improved upon the paint sealant by creating a revolutionary spray formula.Spray Surface Shield is an easy-to-apply spray version of our DPTM Premium SurfaceShield. Made of modified liquid polymers and glossing agents, this water-based sealantblocks out UV rays and pollution to keep your paint in like-new condition. The glossingagents wet the paint to create a liquid shimmer that closely mimics the shine of acarnauba wax. Water will continue to bead on the surface of your vehicle for months.Contaminants will slide off easily in a gentle wash while water rolls off the slicksurface. DPTM Spray Surface Shield effectively prevents water spots, oxidation, andfading like a traditional paint sealant, but it's much faster to apply.

Simply spray the paint surface with DPTM Spray Surface Shield and wipe to a high gloss.Like the DPTM Premium Surface Shield, it needs to cure in order to achieve its fullpotential. After applying it to the entire vehicle, DPTM Spray Surface Shield must curefor 12 hours in absolutely dry conditions. Park your vehicle in a garage or under ashelter if possible. Any contact with water will cause the sealant to "drown". Thesealant is formulated to react with oxygen in order to bond the polymers to the paint.Any contact with water will deplete the sealant of the necessary oxygen. Once you'veallowed the sealant to cure, you can expect months of durable paint protection and awet looking shine.

Because DPTM Spray Surface Shield is a modified liquid sealant, you can use it as aturbo detailer, too. Spray and wipe to remove fingerprints and smudges while applyinga layer of impenetrable protection. Use it as your primary paint protection and fortouch-ups!

Though the pros like the long-lasting protection of a paint sealant, they still love thewarmth of a carnauba shine. After allowing DPTM Spray Surface Shield to cure, applya layer of DPTM Max Wax to further enhance the deep, wet gloss. This technique allowsyou to get the best of both worlds!

Long-lasting protection doesn't have to take a long time to apply. DPTM Spray SurfaceShield goes on in minutes and delivers a beautiful, durable finish that lasts for months.It's the first product of its kind for detailers who demand fast results!

Carnauba wax has been protecting paint since the 1960s. It is a natural protectantproduced by a tree in order to shield its leaves from blistering heat. It makes sense thatthis wax would provide the same protection on automotive paint. However, the leavesof a living tree are able to renew the carnauba wax coating as needed. Your vehiclecan’t do the same, so longevity has always been an issue with carnauba. An alternativewas created many years later called a paint sealant, and it has gradually become thepreferred method of paint protection among a younger generation of detailers becauseof its superior longevity. Newer formulations, like DPTM Premium Surface Shield, evencome remarkably close to the high gloss finish produced by a carnauba wax.

DPTM Premium Surface Shield is a blend of highly reflective liquid polymers andglossing agents that create a durable, protective shine over your vehicle’s paint. Theglossing agents wet the paint to provide the liquid shimmer that is so popular amongprofessionals, collectors, and enthusiasts. The tough barrier blocks out UV rays andairborne pollution and prevents water spots. Your vehicle will continue to look brightand glossy with regular washings using a gentle shampoo. Contaminants will slide offthe paint effortlessly and water will bead months after applying this outstandingsealant.

DPTM Premium Surface Shield is a water-based sealant. Because of the absence ofVOCs, water-based products are much safer to the user and the vehicle. However, thisproduct does have some special application requirements to enjoy its full benefits.After applying it to the entire vehicle, DPTM Premium Surface Shield must cure for 12hours in absolutely dry conditions. Park your vehicle in a garage or under a shelter ifpossible. Any contact with water will cause the sealant to “drown”. The sealant isformulated to react with oxygen in order to bond the polymers to the paint. Anycontact with water will deplete the sealant of the necessary oxygen. Once the sealanthas cured, your vehicle’s paint will beprotected for 3 to 4 months compared to 2months or less with a carnauba wax.

To create the most brilliant finish, apply acoat of DPTM Max Wax over DPTM PremiumPaint Sealant. Max Wax is made with purecarnauba so you get the breathtaking shineof carnauba and the durable protection of asealant.

When you want long-lasting protection anda slick gloss, reach for DPTM Premium PaintSealant. Modern polymers and reflectivegloss agents represent the future of paintprotection.

High tech polymers create a beautiful, durable shine that lastsfor months!

Carnauba wax gained popularity in the 1960s on the car show circuit for its rich,multidimensional shine. When Max entered the car care business, enthusiasts andhobbyists still used nothing but carnauba to protect their vehicles. It set the standardfor how a vehicle can look with the right care. Decades later, there is still nothingmore brilliant than a carnauba finish. Though paint sealants have become prevalent inthe car care industry over the last several years, they still cannot beat the warm glowof a carnauba paste wax. That's why Max chose to create a pure carnauba paste waxfor DPTM and put his own name on it.

DPTM Max Wax is made of pure No.1 grade yellow carnauba from Brazil andengineered polymers to create a wet, glossy shine that lasts longer than carnaubaalone. The wax is a soft, pliable paste that goes on like butter and wipes off just aseffortlessly. The shine created is nothing short of beautiful. Any color paint will appeardeeper and richer with every coat of Max Wax. The addition of polymers allows thewax to bond to the paint for longer lasting protection. Carnauba wax provides UVprotection, as well as resistance to acid rain and contamination. Your vehicle will beprotected for up to 2 months in ideal climates.

DPTM Max Wax isn't just named for Max; the name also reflects the superiorperformance of the wax. Max also stands for maximum shine, maximum clarity, andmaximum reflection. Some carnauba-based waxes cloud or turn yellow withsubsequent layers. DPTM Max Wax contains a purified carnauba with clear, reflectivepolymers that allow you to layer it as many times as desired to achieve the look youwant. Even one coat is impressive, but add another to increase the depth and multi-dimensional shimmer of your paint. Layer DPTM Max Wax over a long-lasting sealantlike DPTM Premium Surface Shield to get the best of both worlds: shine and longevity!

DPTM Max Waxdelivers the wet lookthat is so popular onshow cars andcollectibles. TakeMax's challenge andcompare Max Wax toany carnauba pastewax in its class. Foroutstanding shine andvalue, nothing comesclose. DPTM Max Waxwill take yourvehicle's shine to themax!

Many quick shine sprays contain gloss agents that briefly boost the shine on a waxedvehicle, but they offer no longevity or protection. They essentially wet the paint touncover the existing wax and coat it with a superficial gloss. There are no real benefitsto using these types of products. For professional detailers, a quick shine spray may beused only as a finishing touch after a wax application so longevity is not an issue. Butthe at-home detailer often demands a more substantial product.

DPTM Final Gloss Booster is much more than a quick shine spray. It has the instantshine-enhancing qualities that professionals demand plus long-lasting protection that isbeneficial to the true enthusiast. A blend of carnauba wax and liquid polymers providean additional micro-thin coat of protection over your vehicle's existing wax. The basecoat of wax lasts longer and the paint is even more protected from the elements.

DPTM Final Gloss Booster doesn't simply uncover your existing wax. It adds anotherlayer of carnauba. When carnauba is layered, the shine gets deeper and glossier withevery coat. Gloss agents cannot recreate a carnauba glow. Only genuine carnaubacombined with liquid polymers can achieve a lasting, dramatic shine. The polymersbond the carnauba to the paint to give it durability. Your vehicle will look freshlywaxed and it will have the benefit of additional protection.

In addition to shine and protection, DPTM Final Gloss Booster can be used to wipe awayfingerprints, smudges, and dust in between washes. Use it immediately after washingto refresh existing wax or anytime to add shine and depth. Layering will not causebuild-up or clouding. DPTM Final Gloss Booster will give your vehicle a crystal clear,

intense shine every time.

A longtime customer and detailer called Max last spring to say hello and see how theDPTM development was going. Over the course of their conversation, he explained thathe had gotten a good deal on a bulk order of a no-name interior protectant but severalof his customers complained about a mysterious film appearing on the inside of theirwindshields. He knew immediately that the oily film was caused by the evaporation ofhis bargain protectant. He went on to ask Max to come up with a better interiorprotectant that wouldn't break his budget. Max happily agreed and DPTM's chemistwent to work. The result of his hard work is DPTM Interior Surface Protectant.

DPTM Interior Surface Protectant is a multi-surface shield for your vehicle's interior.Perfect for the pros, it maintains the supple, fresh texture of vinyl, leather, plastic, andrubber while blocking out harmful UV rays.

The protectant penetrates thesurface to create an invisible shield that repels water and dirt so interior surfacesrequire less cleaning. In the long run, your vehicle's seats, door panels, and dashboardwill resist aging.

In addition to protectants, DPTM Interior Surface Protectant contains a mild cleaner toremove surface dust and dirt.

Wheel cleaners are among the most hazardous chemicals you'll find in your detailingkit. Since wheels are typically coated with brake dust, manufacturers created veryaggressive formulas that are marketed as "one-step" or "spray-on, rinse-off" wheelcleaners. Brake dust contains an adhesive that is used to make brake pads, and thisadhesive makes the tiny metal shavings stick to the wheels. Most wheel cleanersattempt to eat through the brake dust with harmful solvents like Ethylene GlycolMonobutyl Ether. The problem is that these harsh solvents will slowly erode finisheson coated and painted wheels, resulting in a dull, pitted metal surface.

DPTM Gel Wheel Cleaner contains no harsh solvents or hard-to-pronounce chemicals.It is a water-based cleaner that relies on environmentally friendly, advancedsurfactants to remove contaminants from the wheel without harming the coating.Overspray from this clear-coat safe product is harmless.

Though DPTM Gel WheelCleaner is designed withthe safety of you and yourvehicle in mind, it is still apowerful wheel cleaner.The secret is the thickformula that clings to thewheel surface rather thanrunning onto the ground.By sticking to the wheel,the surfactants have theopportunity to release thebaked-on dirt and brakedust that coats yourwheels. The gel is packagedin a spray bottle to alloweasy application on everysurface of the wheel, evenbetween spokes and in lugnut holes. Contaminationgets into these places; yourwheel cleaner should be

able to as well! Gentle agitation is all it takes to loosen stubborn grime. Then rinse itaway!

Here's a tip for wheels that feel gritty or bumpy: clay them! The wheel surface canaccumulate embedded contaminants, just like the paint. Clay is a safe and easy way topull these particles out of the wheel to restore a smooth shine. Use clay with alubricant on coated, painted, chrome, and roughcast aluminum wheels.

DPTM Gel Wheel Cleaner is safe on all types of wheels; including factory coated,painted, and anodized wheels. The cleaner also works just as well on tires. The gel isable to penetrate the porous rubber to remove contaminants and leave white wallsbright and clean. Use it on trim and molding to remove wax stains. There isn't muchthis cleaner can't do!

Brake dust is the single most destructive contaminant thatplagues your vehicle's wheels. It contains carbon and anadhesive used in the manufacture of brake pads. Add redhot metal shavings to the mix and you've got a recipe forcorrosion.

Max knew how important it was to clean the aluminum, five-spoke wheels on his C5Corvette, but he struggled to find a product that would keep them clean. To avoid thesame problem with his new C6, Max developed his own protective wheel coating forthe DPTM line called Wheel Glaze.

DPTM Wheel Glaze is a cleaner and a polymer sealant that removes contamination fromthe wheel surface and creates a shiny protective coating. The cleaning agents removedirt, brake dust, tar, sap, and bugs while improving fine scratches. Wheel Glaze evenreaches into microscopic holes created by brake dust to remove it entirely. Neglectedwheels will appear clean and clear, like new wheels. As Wheel Glaze cleans, it depositsa clear, glossy layer of polymers on the wheel surface. This coating blocks out the sun,sand, salt, snow, acid rain, industrial pollution, tar, and - the worst culprit of all - brakedust. The wheel surface will be so slick that brake dust will be unable to stick. Yourwheels will remain clean longer, even in adverse conditions. Wheel Glaze resists highheat, humidity and extreme cold.

DPTM products have been researched and tested in sunny South Florida. In these hotand often wet conditions, we found that DPTM Wheel Glaze does not evaporateprematurely or weaken. It continues to keep your wheels clean, shiny, and protectedfrom the threat of corrosion.

DPTM Wheel Glaze should be applied to cool wheels out of direct sunlight. Clean dirtand mud off the wheel surface and clay if necessary. Use a terry cloth or polyfoamapplicator to apply Wheel Glaze to wheel surface. Allow a haze to form and then buffto a shine. Mist the wheel again and buff again to achieve the best results. Repeatweekly to maintain a clean, clear, shiny finish. Do not clean your wheels with anythingelse as it may remove Wheel Glaze.

Professionals will love the easy on, easy offapplication of DPTM Wheel Glaze. Drivers willlove how clean their wheels look, even daysafter application. This durable wheelprotectant can save you the cost of refinishingor replacing your wheels, especially if youhave an import that is prone to brake dust.Regular use of DP- Wheel Glaze can save yourwheels!

Clean and protect all types of wheels!

Tires are invariably difficult to dress because of their close proximity to the ground.Rain and airborne pollution fall down onto the tires while mud, salt, and tar assault thetires from underneath. Contamination attacks your vehicle's tires from all sides!Considering what tires go through on a daily basis, it's understandable that most tiredressings fall short of the kind of longevity you'd prefer. One of the few exceptions tothe rule is DPTM Gloss Tire Gel.

This is one tire dressing that will meet all your expectations. It creates a deep blackgloss that actually lasts for weeks longer than the average dressing. With most tiredressings, you can only expect four or five days of shine before you have to applyagain. DPTM Gloss Tire Gel will last two weeks in average conditions, though somecustomers have reported three weeks of rich, black rubber. Factors like weather,washing, and frequency of driving do affect the longevity of tire dressings, but even inthe worst conditions, DPTM Gloss Tire Gel outlasts the competition.

The secret is absorption. DPTM Gloss Tire Gel doesn't sit on top of the rubber. Itpenetrates deep below the surface to hydrate and refresh dull, dry rubber. The gelactually cures to the rubber to create a long-lasting finish that resists sling-off. Becausethe gel is penetrates the rubber, it does not rinse off in the rain and it even laststhrough a wash or two. When applying DPTM Gloss Tire Gel, it is necessary to allow thegel to cure to the rubber for 30 minutes before driving or applying another coat. Donot allow the gel to pool around raised letters or around the edge of the wheel. Thin,even coats will prevent sling-off and allow for optimum longevity. If overspray occurs,simply wipe it off. This water-based gel will not affect the clear coat of paintedsurfaces.

The finish created by Gloss Tire Gel is a deep, black shine that looks beautiful next tofreshly detailed paint. The tire will look wet but it will feel bone dry to the touch oncethe gel has cured. The wet gloss finish is not sticky and it will not attract dirt. If youprefer a less shiny finish, just wipe thetire with a damp sponge or towel tocreate a matte finish. If you like your tireseven glossier, allow the first coat to curefor 30 minutes and then apply a secondcoat. DPTM Gloss Tire Gel is designed toallow you to control the level of gloss soyou get the perfect shine every time.

Create the same glossy, rich shine onyour tires that you've created on yourpaint. DPTM Gloss Tire Gel is a shiningexample of what a tire dressing can be.

You control the level of gloss for the perfect shine every time!
