AMMO NYC Tire Gel vs All Dressed Up – Which Dressing Looks Better and Lasts Longer?

Looking for the perfect tire dressing? We tested AMMO NYC Tire Gel against All Dressed Up to see which gives you better shine, durability, and user experience.

AMMO’s Tire Gel is designed to deliver a deep, rich black look—but it comes with a few common issues: sling, greasy finish, and longer drying times. All Dressed Up, on the other hand, is a water-based dressing made for versatility, speed, and a true OEM-style finish.

Here’s a side-by-side breakdown of which dressing performs best—and which one belongs in your detailing kit.

Finish and Appearance

AMMO Tire Gel:

  • Glossy finish with deep black color
  • High shine that fades over time
  • Can attract dust and dirt in dry conditions

All Dressed Up:

  • Matte to satin finish depending on dilution
  • No greasy residue or oily look
  • OEM appearance that blends into trim and rubber

Dry Time and Sling

  • AMMO Tire Gel: Thick application, longer dry time, may sling when driven immediately after
  • All Dressed Up: Absorbs quickly, sling-free, safe to drive within minutes

Surface Compatibility

AMMO: Primarily for tires. Not designed for interior or engine bay use.

All Dressed Up: Works on tires, trim, engine bays, and interior plastics. One bottle handles multiple jobs.

Application Process

  • Use a foam applicator for both
  • All Dressed Up can be diluted 4:1 for a lighter finish and better value
  • Less product waste, no streaks, and easy to level

Durability

Both products last a few weeks in normal weather—but All Dressed Up’s ability to be reapplied easily (even diluted) gives it the edge in long-term value and appearance control.

Best AMMO Tire Gel Replacement: All Dressed Up

Versatile, matte or satin finish, and zero sling. Dress tires, trim, and even engine bays with one product.

Final Thoughts

AMMO Tire Gel gets the job done, but it's limited to tires and can be a mess to deal with. All Dressed Up offers more flexibility, a cleaner finish, and real value by replacing 2–3 other products in your detailing lineup.
