Meguiars gets my vote to, i use the meguiars applying tool to apply the gel aswell

I use the Megs stuff , I use a cheap shoe cleaning sponge to apply it , theyre only pennies and it does the job.
..........same here.Them Megs applicator sponges are a rip off. :fighting:

Blackfire long lasting tyre gel gives a great shine and does last long, but it also stays wet for a long time.  If you have a light coloured car and drive off just after applying it, it will spray up the side of the car.

I have started using my Auto Finesse Revive on my tyres as well as the plastics now as it gives a more natural "new tyre" look and dosn't spray off.

I'd agree. Backfire is good, but I've also found it to remain wet for a good while

Maybe applying too much? Doesn't need a lot. Got some revive as well so might give that a try, or AF Gloss or Satin a go. Becoming a big fan of AF products.

Even a thin film takes a long time to dry in with the Blackfire stuff.  Polished Bliss is local to me and Richard advised me to put it on and leave it over night if possible.  Thats what the do for customers cars when they use it

Same advice given to me as well when I bought it from PB. Not always possible though I'm afraid. TBH I've never had an issue with Blackfire.

Im not a fan of 'bling' tyre shine, Ive used AF Revive which isn't a dedicated product but it looked ok. However, i keep hearing people rave about, Espuma RD50 on DW  


Here is a quick snap, it looks a little wetter in the photo, than it does in the flesh - lets see how it performs over the next few weeks, bear in mind i live up a muddy track.
Note: this is on a Nokian Winter Tyre & some folks on DW are finding it works/looks differently on different makes of tyre

I like the Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel, about £10 from Halfords.


Yup Megs Tyre Gel for me. Use a foam pad to apply. leave overnight and then wipe off any excess in the morning. i found if I did not wipe off the excess the arches got covered in splatter
