I will say this: on my concrete driveway, Hyperdressing has made marks that won't come off. They only appear when the driveway is wet, though.

So now I do my hyperdressing in the street.

All of them do...I got a few myself
Another reason I like the gel. You have to put it on w/ a sponge

Once you get it, spray it on your old dirty lookin' frame rails, and the leaf springs, and the coil springs, etc. etc. at a low ratio like 4:1 or even 6:1. You'll be like GD, looks like I'm ready to go to a show!!! Sure, all the other products will do that but it's too expensive to be spaying Hot Shine or whatever on the rails and so fourth. IMO HD makes the best economical sense too. I have two bottles, 1 for different tire dressing mixes and the second which I really never deviate from for all the other stuff. I use this stuff on my quads and everything. I even sprayed down my neighbors mailbox one day ( yeah, we were drinkin' ).

If you get the HD bottle (D20170), it'll have the hash marks already on the side tell you what to do. Get the standard sprayer, too. I like it a lot.

I do 1:1 for everything, though I think someone did a comparison, and found 4:1 (water:HD) to be almost the same in appearance as 1:1.

I use Megs Hot Shine gel (because I have it), apply it with an Eagle One tire swipe, then I thoroughly remove the excess with a rag about an hour later. I like the "clean" look but not the "shiny" look. Then again, I'm one of those that uses Westley's to clean the tires.

I have used Westley's for 30 or 40 years. I try to achive that very same look, black as you can get them but almost dull.

If I do that then everyone will be able to see all the rust on my suspension pieces! I bet he had the best looking mail box in town. Were is the best/most economical place to get some hyperdressing? Can I find it in a store or do I need to order it offline?

Correct. Don't forget the Nozzle & a extra bottle. You may want to have two bottles with different ratio. I have one bottle for my wheels @ 1:1 and one at 4:1. Hope this helps
