There was an effort to change to the metric system in the mid-70's, but it failed. All the cars went to metric fasteners, except for things they perceive will be wrenched by people who can't figure out metric, or won't have metric tools, like lug nuts and oil drain plugs. And then we have some things that are sold in liters...like olive oil and bottled water...but not milk or orange juice or motor oil.

SoCal Garage Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 My question is whether this product has UV protection as a benefit? I viewed the link to the product, but could not find any mention of UV on the product label. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 TPC, like Optimum's other tire products, contains UV and ozone protection to shield tires from sun damage and environmental pollution.

SoCal Garage Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks for the reply as one of the primary reasons I like purchasing Optimum products is because of their UV protection. Now, I only have to finish the gallon of Opti-Bond Tire Gel and I’ll be trying product next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs33 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I'm going to buy this but wondering if i should get the 8oz or 32oz. How many tires can be coating with the 8oz bottle. I'm assuming this can't be diluted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 On average you should use less than 1 oz for a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Given that it has soft bristles and is safe on paint...and coatings are harder than clear coat....it is safe on Coatings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjbiss Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 My first tire with this coating. Generally easy to use, a few uneven spots but probably used too much product trying to get into the all the grooves of my off road tires. Can really only see under the bright LED lights in my garage. Doing it by hand is quite the arm workout on 35" tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjbiss Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Tip for those with complex tire treads to get an even coat. Work the product into the tough parts first and then do a final coat over the full tire. This way you the treads are coated with the first application and the second coat is focused on evening the product. Seemed to work for me on the subsequent tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregS Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 New TPC user here. How long should one wait before GENTLY cleaning the tyre, after initial application, before applying a second coat? The reason for wanting to do such cleaning is that I may have to drive the car a bit in between. I've been through this process - I waited about 5 hours, and I don't think this is long enough, because my towel hardened, meaning I must have lifted off some TPC. I used a 2% IPA solution. (just picked something at random - didn't think Power Clean was warranted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
