Tires are nib free. Either the ECS02 doesn’t have them after production or my friends at Discount Tire did it for meI love new tyre day!
Remember to de-nib the sidewalls for full effect.
Even on brand new tyres, you will still lift a lot of junk off the sidewall.
I didn't have any Tarminator Brian but I did have a bottle of ReTyre which did the job.
Here’s mine KB. Did it Friday evening. A few glossy spots, that’s what I get for doing it in less than ideal light. Ah well, I’ll touch it up next wash.Snuck in a car wash on Thursday, (we're in water restriction status,) didn't get caught and used very little water. Makes me wonder, do the self-serve car washes today recycle their water? I doubt it.
Anyway, had the chance to try out the new foam cannon from Raincovo and the new, lightweight gun from Zebra Clean. The latter was a breeze to use, easier on the hand than the Kranzle gun.
But Lord have mercy that Raincovo cannon put out some serious, uber sticky foam and I love the easy to use controls.
It didn't run even a little bit!

Scrubbed the rubber pretty aggressively and got 90 percent of the old Ghost off, leaving a few, tiny glossy spots. Thought about doing all four tires again and decided I was too worn out so once they were dry, they got another coating.
MUCH better result and if it holds up as well as I think it will, (and you guys have said,) I think I found a winner.
303 is great for PS4S because its super subtle and levels the finish very nicely. I need to give it another go at some point.I usually try to do a lot of reading on DFBs threads , I don't wash or shampoo the Mach regularly ( but she did have a salon day last week shampoo and all ,before they applied the PPF ) here in the Desert the only thing is dust , no road grime very few bugs , so I do take her up ( every 3 or 4 outings , Car Shows , Cars n Coffee, Cruise In action ) to the self service Car Wash and pressure rinse the dust and finish off with spot free rince and hot air blow dry , then finish off with Adams Graphene Detail Spray .
When it comes to the Tires I use 303 Protectant , I think with better than advantage results. I was using Griots Garage Tire Protectant Satin formula, til my Jacuzzi guy recommended 303 for the Jacuzzi cover 5 years ago. The cover looks very good for being exposed to the UV rays daily and the extreme heat May to October, so I switched to 303 on the tires and so far I think it was a good move . I know there are a lot of good products, by DFBs recommending spread sheets . Thanks for the information .
Looks great, Mark. After cleaning my tires properly, Ghost gave me a much better result. I don't know yet whether or not I will stick with it but obviously, this is a worthwhile product.

James: I used Carpro ReTyre.
Any really good tire cleaner (AKA CARPRO Retyre, ADS Tire, P&S Undressed, Shine Supply Wise Guy), all of those will remove MOST of it. Then a good wipe with a tar remover or mineral spirits will kill off the rest. I love Stoner's Tarminator. Just soak a rag (disposable, it is trash afterward) and wipe vigorously. It will bring it down to bare rubber in a heartbeat. Then wait a few minutes and you are good to apply Ghost.
