Nanoskin white lightening. $40 a gallon, perfect sheen and lasts pretty damn well for a water based dressing. But it does have added polymers that helps it last longer and is hydrophobic unlike most water based.
Nice video, Will. Although I have been using Darkside for a while, a few days ago I started my own tire test on my wife’s car, with one wheel coated with Darkside; Clean; DIY Detail; and ADS Tire+. I ran out of tires before I could apply ADS Ghost. LOL!! I put two coats on each tire after cleaning with P&S Undressed to remove any old stuff. All four tires initially looked great with two coats, but it’s too early to judge longevity.
@@TomScelfo thanks Tom! I have a video coming next week on Pan’s line and comparing darkside with Pan’s. Ghost is surprisingly durable and the shine persists very well! Thanks for watching!
I've been using Darkside on my new Lexus and it works better than anything I have tried so far!!! After a month it looks just as good as the day I applied it!!!!
Darkside is definitely one of the top dressings! the only thing that changes is the shine/sheen after a week for two but still remains nice and dark! Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
There are much finer and firmer brushes for tire dressing that I use that don't leave any brush streaks. I have used lots of different tire coatings/dressings etc. I prefer a more matte look then a shiny tire. My current favorites are (not in any order) Dark side, Clean by Pan and Adams graphine tire. all are very durable, Matte finishes
Thanks for another great video. I’m not into shiny tyres but I do like them clean and uniform. Ceracote ceramic tire dressing is excellent. Matt, black, clean for a few months and very easy to apply. Darkside and Ghost both look great though.
Yeah the shine is not for everyone! I noticed Darkside will appear very shiny if it's applied thick. Using less product and spread it out thinner might help with that. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!! Perl is a traditional water based dressing, so it's not meant to last long, falls off after one rain. But if you like to put on fresh tire shine every week then it's a good option like VRP from Chemical Guys.
Generally, When a product is water based or chemical based it is referring to the carrier of the product. For a water base it uses water or environmental friendly products mixed with the tire protectant so you can spray the product on the tire (for this example) then the water or environmental friendly products evaporates away and leaves only the tire protectant on the tire. For chemical based products it uses chemicals mixed with the tire protectant. Which is probably why darkside cures slower and ghost dries very quick. If a product is water or chemical base should have nothing to do with the durability.
If it's ghost on ghost, then I wouldn't worry too much on getting it completely off. But the easiest way I know to prep tires is using Dark Fury or mineral spirit. Thanks for watching!
Been using Darkside for a while and love the results. Just not a fan of the curing time. Ghost looks like a solid product that is in the same league. Looks like you can't go wrong with either one. Looking forward to the follow up to see how long they last!
Right, definitely be careful with applying it too think, it will stay wet for days. But it would definitely benefit from faster cure time! Thanks for watching!
Ghost works best if you get an even blue colour all round, think you could do with a little bit more. Do two layers to get a similar result to darkside- it'll last longer and give great hydrophobics
Looks good hope for some more updates, maybe 1 month out and then how long before you decided you had to reapply ghost. Curious how long it lasts in the real world.
I have the sprayer turned to the most misting position and when you spray, pull the trigger all the way fast. I tried a sprayer with Pan's tire dressing as well and it sprays very similarly to Darkside. Thanks for watching!

Great video Will! Audio is nice and clear and your videos are becoming such great quality videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks you so much! I really appreciate it!

What brushes do you recommend? I would love a link to it! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Oh cool! I haven't tried Cerakote tire dressing yet but definitely will. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Darkside is top tier will never switch to anything else especially paired with Carpro's tire shine applicator brush its incredible.
Oh yes that little brush works great with Darkside! Especially on low profile tires! Thanks for watching!
I agree Darkside is Stout!!!!
Great job Will!
Thanks Ben!!
Used DarkSide recently after completely cleaning the tires. ShinyAF. WAY too shiny for me. If you control it well on trim, looks pretty sweet.
Yeah the shine is not for everyone! I noticed Darkside will appear very shiny if it's applied thick. Using less product and spread it out thinner might help with that. Thanks for watching!
Let’s go! I Used Darkside on my daughter’s car. Bought Ghost but haven’t tried it yet. Looking feats to see what you think Will
Thanks Mike! let me know which one you like!
Bought Ghost but havent tried yet. Thanks for the great video!
Very impressive tire dressing, hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for going over best application method and then the 1 week later test! Any thoughts on Carpro PERL as compared to these two?
Thanks!! Perl is a traditional water based dressing, so it's not meant to last long, falls off after one rain. But if you like to put on fresh tire shine every week then it's a good option like VRP from Chemical Guys.
I rock with CarPro Darkside ... been using it since the spring and have not had to use much due to my cars being garage kept and its longevity...
Nice! Darkside definitely has great longevity! Thanks for watching!

That's great info thanks for sharing!!
To apply ghost the next time, was it a pain to remove exisitng coating?
If it's ghost on ghost, then I wouldn't worry too much on getting it completely off. But the easiest way I know to prep tires is using Dark Fury or mineral spirit. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate the video. What Rinseless did you use for the wheels?
Thanks I appreciate it! I used DIY Detail rinseless wash!
Ghost works best if you get an even blue colour all round, think you could do with a little bit more. Do two layers to get a similar result to darkside- it'll last longer and give great hydrophobics
Oh okay thanks for pointing that out! I'll try it more a bit more and a foam applicator next time! Thanks for watching!
Those tires dress up nice
Both top tier dressings!
Second and ready. Let's get the show on the road. 💯💪
Thanks Bigo!!
Looks good hope for some more updates, maybe 1 month out and then how long before you decided you had to reapply ghost. Curious how long it lasts in the real world.
For sure! thanks for watching!
How the heck do you manage the brush when applying tire dressing?? I tried it recently with CLEAN tire dressing and it’s so strange
I have the sprayer turned to the most misting position and when you spray, pull the trigger all the way fast. I tried a sprayer with Pan's tire dressing as well and it sprays very similarly to Darkside. Thanks for watching!
Alkali wheel cleaner is best wheel cleaner
Nice! Thanks for watching!!
What do you prefer? You tested them side by side. Who’s the winner?
I like the finish of Ghost better and it's not oily but it's slightly more expensive and not offered in gallons.
Hi Will, it will be great if you make a video showing about paint sealant. I think it will not be worth the money to pay for ceramic coating
That's a good idea since that's still much more user friendly and accessible! Thanks!
4 weeks later, how is Ghost holding up?
@@zdub303 video coming up soon!
Great video Will....
Thanks!!
Nice job will
Thanks Becca!!
Its water based but its packed full of solvents
Oh interesting!! Thanks for watching!
Very nice.
Thanks!!
First and ready
Thanks Humberto!
