I use PERL on most cars but it would be nice to offer a longer duration tire sealant. Dark Side looks rich and deep on the Impala tires and the application appears to be pretty easy. I like the finish in that it looks very even with no blotchy spots. If it lasts six weeks on a daily driver it’s a winner in my book. Thanks for the demo on this new product.

Yeah it lasts 6 weeks roughly

This is hands down.The best product for tires.The longevity through snow short rain all of the above.I was pretty surprised at How long it last And I don't wipe off.I just let it dry for 15 minutes and it does not sling.

Looks great on those tires. Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, with tire dresiings, the look can vary with different tire brands.

I absolutely love Carpro Darkside, from the name straight to durability and the looks also the scent, it's amazing for me, I used Perl but not satisfied in terms of durability, also used Cartec Vinyl, but its a silicone based. This is my fav tire dressing so far.

Oh and one thing I recommend don't wipe the excess, let it dry In, and don't drive for 3-4 hours, also heating the tire a little before application will give you A LOT more durability

i love perl... one of my favorites... i will probably buy this... i will take six weeks..i wash my cars weekly, in winter i have to go longer but will always top it anyway

Good video and demonstration.

Thank you

Hey, I really appreciate the vid. I've been looking for exactly this type of product. I've been using Matt's tire dressing from Obsessed Garage and was looking for something that last a little longer with a more even sheen. Just ordered a 500 ml bottle for 20 bucks, instead of the liter size just to try out.

It will last longer for sure. Let me know how you like it.

This dressing is great but won't wash off. Looks like the clean hands tire shine applicator from Work Stuff will contain the mess from this solvent based dressing.

Thank you for the detailed video. I just bought Darkside and retyre. Do either of them stain the garage floor and/or pavers. I just bought a brand new house Thank you.

Darkside probably will but you are not spraying it onto the tire so you are ok. I have not used retyre in a long time but I don't recall any staining from it.

Does look nice

How does this compare to Gyeon Q2 Tire (the blue gel)?

At the moment all I can say they are similar application and consistency.

Long videos. ✅ 🎉 🙏🏼

Sorry if I missed it, but what coating do you have on the wheels?

This one has Pure Evo on them. I had recently topped them with the Gyeon ceramic detailer about 2 weeks before this video.

What did you use to prep the tires before applying dark side?

Unfortunately it is not meant to.

I used Darkside on my car the key is to wait some hours then wipe it and clean it again with an powerwasher. I will see how long it lasts on my tires CarPro says 3 months , if it lasts at least 1 and half it's ok , can't apply PERL every week. Applying tireshine is the biggest chore.
