Tempest45 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has experimented with this combo? OOS seams to do a very good job at rubber trim around the rest of the car, so it got me thinking about the tires as well. Would be great to use the OOS on the wheels AND the tires all at once! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Welcome to the Optimum Forum, Tempest. Opti-Seal was not formulated for rubber and I've never tried it on tires, but have used it on rubber trim with no issues. Give it a try and let us know how it works...

Lowejackson Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Someone asked about using Optiseal on rubber trim (possibly tyres) a while ago, the view from Chris Thomas was it was not recommended as it could dry out the rubber. Unfortunately I cannot find the thread and presume it was deleted by Chris or it might have been on another forum. However, I do wonder how rubber trim would cope with GPS and then topped with Optiseal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest45 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hello Lowejackson, This vid with Yvan shows them using OOS on just about every non-cloth material. It's where I thought of using it on tires. Ron, any chance you can get us a word on OOS and rubber? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's where I thought of using it on tires...... Tempest45, I continued searching for the comments saying Optiseal is not rubber friendly. It is possible the comments have been deleted or my memory is faulty (not unknown). I am sure Ron will be able to give the official answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Opti-Seal will not hurt tires, but won't help them either. It is effective on rubber trim - tires are more porous and absorb product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
