Megs Endurance is the best for durability.
Autosmart Tyre Dandy for ease of use.

I am yet to try the megs gel stuff, just because its a little more inconvienant to use.
For ease of use I find AG tyre shine is very good, im using megs hot shots atm wich is also very good, i always give it a couple of coats. spray it on wet or dry, leave it to dry a little while and your good for 3 or so days.

I have Megs Endurance and Hot Shine.

Endurance lasts longer but not as convenient to apply as Hot Shine.

I've been using the Megs tyre shine gel (purple stuff) for some time now, but each I use it, it doesn't seem to dry, and when I drive, it ends up all over the wheels and bodywork... any suggestions?

Welcome to the madhouse!  :laugh:

Meguiars Endurance is the best one I've used, usually lasts about a week, by which time I'm cleaning the car again. Apply (very thinly) in the evening, leave to dry overnight and will last longer than the other tyre shines I've tried, also by applying the day before you help stop any sure shine gel from spaying all down the side of the car.  :grin:

thats weird :S u must be using quite a bit. I used to use a small brush and only put very very little on and make sure its all over the tyre edge. i would keep brushing round until it looked like its blended in
