I think I see a Mac Mini and a WD My Book in there too.

I've got one of the 4TB RAID MyBooks. Dropped it shortly after I got it.

Just got this:

How do they reckon it 'eliminates splatter' Stealth?

[stealthwolf]

Will let you know when I apply it this weekend. Shall I bring some along when I come down?

It reminds me a lot of Megs Endurance Tyre Gel - similar consistency but smells like blueberries I think. Unlike AG bumper car or PB NLD, it actually seems to remove dried on wax residue. Only tested it on a small part of the rear door trim so far.

Just let me know how you get on as it doesn't seem to matter what I try it all ends up down the side of the car. And thats applying liberally and leaving it overnight!!

Have you tried 303 Aerospace Nath? I use that, leave for at least 3 hours but generally over night, and then wipe over once done.

No more sh*te up the side of the car. It gives a nice Matte sheen (so no good if you want shiny) and lasts same as all the others I've tried. I still have a bottle of Megs Endurance too but not used it for a while.

Nath, does it make a difference leaving tyre gel on overnight before buffing?
Once again, my new wheels weren't fitted today. (been out with the family all day) 

Anyway, Ive got chance to stick some Megs endurance on now!

What do you think?

Not tried it but I do prefer the shiny/wet look so not sure. We have some at the unit so I'll have a look see!

Great stuff, I just find on lighter coloured cars you notice the sling!!

When i give my car a clean next i'll take some before and after pics as i will be cleaning the Tyre's with APC before re-applying.

A good tip i was given by the Maestro himself was to use a heat gun to dry/warm the tyre up before applying tyre dressing. Lets it work right into the rubber and it does seem to last a few days longer.

I never said anything of the kind.
