The spray stuff?

I've never found Megs to turn the tyres brown, it'll wear off after a while revealing the tyre's true colour though.

Its the same stuff as Auto Glym Vinyl and Rubber Care (just no lemon smell) so might be better to kill 2 birds with same stone.

My answer as always and forever more: Blackfire tyre dressing. Excellent stuff.

i'm going to use chemical guys stuff on my new tyres

Megs Endurance is pants, attracts dust and discolours.

AG Tyre Dressing/Vinyl and Rubber looks great but last minutes, show use only here.

Day to day use, Poorboys Bold and Bright or Blackfire Gel if you can stomach it's cost.

It's ok to add to the gloss I find but too viscose to apply easily and doesn't last all that long.

CG New Look Gel doesn't last long and goes over the body work, I now use Poorboys Bold'n'Bright and it's really easy to apply as well.

 

[V1NNY]

how about poorboys bold n bright then?

Tesco £1.97 Tyre and bumper spray. Cheap enough to use after every wash!

^ quote from Rich (dunno what happen to the apropriate formatting)???


From the products I have used to date, AG Tyre Dressing seems to last the longest. I apply it directly by cloth for the matt finish. Applied a fresh layer on Friday afternoon and drove 230 miles in torrential rain on Sat/Sun. They still looked the mutts nuts this morning when I left for work.

Did freak me out a bit when I first used this product as it's like spraying your tyres with milk.

See....This is an odd one, CG Trim gel is fantastic on michey and GY's but rubbish on the federals i've got on the vee!

 

[Jamesl172]

Rich is right about AG vinyl and rubber care - shine lasted a day at most!!

ive got some but i don't rate it... seems to wear off fairly quick and difficult to apply evenly....

im using turtle wax spray one atm.. its clear... works well..

 

[KM CLIO]

autogleam stuff with green label i think, tyre and bumper (green gel) works on anything black !!!!

 

[Al_G]

I use endurance gel. Great stuff but it sprays up my doors everytime I us it! I'm sure it stains the paint as well :S

Am I applying too much or does this happen to everyone?

Are there any brands out there that don't do this?

 

[Kev_md]

What have i started:argue: :argue:

I use this stuff too, i just apply it with the same bit of sponge i keep in a plastic bag and i get a good black finish that lasts for a week...

 

[Brand86]

I used this stuff a while ago and thought it was good for the money. Don't they brand this product as the "Platinum Series Tyre Gel" now does anyone know or is that a different product? I tried both and seem the same to me. Good for restoring the blackness but don't really add much gloss I found.
