Spent today giving it some well needed TLC. Washed, waxed and sitting pretty on the H&R's  :smiley:

Cheers mate. I have dressed them. I've got some Megs stuff and one of the applicator sponges. It goes on allright but as soon as it dries it doesn't leave a shine  :laugh:

Are you using Megs Tyre Endurance Gel?

I find it works great the way I use it. I got a 1L plastic empty milk bottle and cut it in half. I then squirt the gel into the bottle and I use a 1" paintbrush to apply. (try to cut the bristles down in length, so that they are quite rigid and stiff)  :ashamed:

It just makes the application easier.

I always try to apply the gel just before putting the car away in the garage at night.

I apply the gel and leave it on overnight before buffing it off.


seems to give great results, that last a lot longer than the suggested application method.  :happy2:

Cheers Joe  :happy2:

Monte, the one I'm using is called Hot Tyre Shine or something along those lines. It's clear in a spray bottle. My mate uses it and likes it but he sprays direct to the tyre. I use the applicator sponge so I don't have to wipe the wheels down again.

Just had a read threw your thread there, your car is looking really well... Loving the colour Matto  :jumpmove:

How do you find the H&R's, i personally think its sitting perfect, nice and even drop   :happy2:   I had the H&R's in and they where great on the normal shocks, But a bit hard on my current KW's...

Keep up the good work!
If it's not broke, Mod it.....



Silver is the way !
