I like my dressing BUT, dang after a show the dust clumps on it and it is a PITA to clean off. I also have been told it is bad for tires dispite what the labels say. Every tire supplier has told me to avoid tire dressing. Plus my latest issue with fisheyes I dont want any armorall type product near my car LOL
I just bought a big can of pledge and will try that.

That's messed up. I can't see myself hitting my engine bay with Pledge. I'll stick with Meguiars.

It works though. Cheap, effective, less work, you cant beat it.

You have to look at what is in the dressing. Make sure it has no silicone in it. After sitting on the tire for a while, silicone starts to rot the rubber turning it brown (ever wonder why your tires look brown after you've used the stuff a while?) I use Meguiar's Hot Shine and it works fine. No silicone.

And, applying the Pledge, you just spray it on a rag and wipe?

Yes, thats the gist of it. However, with things like the coolant/radiator hoses, things like that, I'll spray it directly on it as much as I can and let it sit and soak in a bit. It helps with cleaning the rubber some and makes it look a bit better.

I bought the hot shine too. I like the spay can, easy to apply and control. Doesnt goo up on the tire either. Glad to know it doesnt have silicone in it.
I know most dressing is bad. I had a set of ties on a car once and they got really bad. I was told the cause was tire dressing. Usually tires dont last me long enough to notice the effects LOL.
I did use the pledge under the hood on the plastic parts and it gave the parts a nice satin shine. No goop or build up. I havent noticed the usual dust sticking to it like other products.
