Bernie’s Product Review: Sanctiond’s Tire Glaze



I admit, I am a product junkie. I’m always on the hunt for a cleaning products to make sure my truck doesn’t look his age (he’s damn near 10). Yes I’m a girl, but I believe in taking care of my vehicles, and I prefer to wash my vehicles because car wash companies add female tax a.k.a. overcharging females.

When I heard that Mister Cartooon came out with his own product line, I wanted to try it. And the folks at Sanctiond sent me a generous sample of their Tire Glaze. And I used it...


Before Thursday, I was hooked on Armor All's tire wet gel, because Will Castro used it. And if it was good enough for Will Castro, then it was good enough for me… but all that has changed.

On Sanctiond’s site, they said that “This non-sling glaze provides a long-lasting deep shine with a blinding brilliance.” After applying it to the tires, I drove my Envoy 200+ miles. That glaze did not budge. Even when I drove on dirt and rocks, my tires are still shining. As I type this from Starbucks, my tires are shining in the parking lot.

(Still rolling on factory wheels and tires. But all that could change... hint hint)

I had a good run with Armor All, but I’m now rolling with Sanctiond. I do wish that the glaze came with an applicator, it would have helped a little (and kept my acrylic nails clean), but that’s what Target is for (to buy car cleaning applicators).

Because I now love the Sanctiond Tire Glaze, it’s probably only available in LA, which means I’ll have to hoard it everytime I go out there.

If you want to try the Sanctiond Tire Glaze, just click on this link and they will send you a sample. You can tell them that Bernie sent you. It won't do you any good though, regardless if you mention my name or not, they'll still send you a sample.

P.S. Now I'm dying to try their Car Wash, Wheel and Tire Cleaner, Leather Spray, Leather Lotion, Protect It, and Cleaner Wax. I can't do a damn thing with the Brite White. The Envoy will never have whitewalls on them. I'll look like a pure idiot with those on SUV.

Car Show Coverage: 2012 Dub Car Show: New York

DSC08247

Why does Dub Magazine always drop the ball in New York? The Tri-State area have plenty of customized cars, but before I blame Dub, I bet that the Javits Convention Center only provides them a tiny, tiny space. Anyhow, Dub released photos from their car show that was tucked away within the New York International Auto Show. Check it out...

Sanctiond Automotive talks with Platinum Motorsports


(You know the Keshishyan Brothers have the best photos of themselves on their site)

LA Native and Photography great Estevan Oriol shot an incredible video about "the Neiman Marcus of Car Customization Shops", Platinum Motorsports. He shot the Keshishyan brothers (George and Jack) and discussed how they acquired the business from their father and turned it into a powerhouse, their work ethic, and the work that comes out of the shop. Either way, it was a great look, even better than whatever articles that's been printed out about them.

Check out the video and see for yourself.



Even though they had a leg up in the business (meaning: the business was given to them by their father), you have to admit, they did turn it into something far greater than what the business originally was. Anytime you can do that, you have to give them respect.

P.S. You know Estevan Oriol does great work. He reminds me of Hype Williams- meaning the video he produces will have that same uber high quality like his photography. With Hype, his movie Belly looks just like his music videos.
