Tyre Shine
« on: August 24, 2009, 09:33:33 pm »
Can anyone recommend a tyre shine gel/liquid (inc. online shop) that doesn't disappear after a day?

Thanks in advance.

Thumbs up from me as well on this.  I also got the applicator to work it in to stop the plastic look some tyre dressings give.  I just give the tyres a quick wipe round with an old sponge whilst snow foam is working.  once car is clean and dry apply 1 or 2 applications and it last around 2-3 weeks

You can get it from halfrauds too!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

How long does the dressing last?  And is it as good as the Meguiars tyre shine?

.........lasts a good while,longer than the ones off ''the shelf'' that i used in the past.It also works out cheaper & last's longer,a 5 litre can lasts me a good couple of years (don't bother much over the winter). :smiley:

Tyre Slik is also good and lasts well. Being an spray, it's also easy to apply. :happy2:

It's won the Auto Express product award for several years.

It's made by Car Plan and I think Halfords still sell it.

Meguiars for me too.....but apply it sparingly to stop it getting splattered up the side of your car! :evilgrin:
