....

Marinated Dog's Piss.

NOW will people believe I'm not a detailer!? :evilgrin: :grin:

Actually [pronounced: "Ecktooelly" in posh accent], I might try some tyre shine occasionally when my new OZ LeggyRita's arrive. But I'll want something which lasts longer than 3 days!

P.S. - Claire, do you and Gary know about our Ring Trip on first weekend of October?

Zaino Z16 Tyre Gloss  :happy2:

Silicone is bad for the rubber on your tyres, and makes them go brown over time as well as drying them out.

Verdin you're right on the silicone score. Siicone is just bad news all round for a detailer.


Also it's worth noting there are two meguairs being spoken of in this thread.

1. Meg's endurance tyre gel - in my opinion the better one. It's in a bottle with a flip cap for application with a brush or sponge applicator. It's purple and last quite a while

2. Meg's hot shine tyre gel. I think it's stillcalled that. It's in a spray bottle and it's a clear liquid. It does look quite similar to the above when applied but doesn't last half as long.

There both available from halfrauds too. Hope this help. And sorry to those who think this Is stating the obvious. I don't wanna teach granny to suck eggs ;)

I have been using for about 4 months now with the applicator.  On average get 2-3 weeks of shiny tyres is very impressive.

The only other one I have used is the AG one which I hated as it used to spray all over the place.

Hi Red.
The good thing about Z16, it just makes the tyres look like they are new. No shiny sticky nonesense. Glossy tyres, whats all that about?!?  :laugh:

Smells great, lasts about 3 weeks to a month and has the consistency of milk so you only need apply very little. I've had the same bottle for well over a year now and its just under half full, that includes doing other friends and families cars.

I'm pleased you are giving "Throbbing Red" the attention it deserves  :happy2:

Ive never used Z16, thats a first, i dont know how ive come to try a zaino Product.

I must admit im not a huge fan of the megs stuff...but longevity was the name of the game in this thread.

I do prefer the "milky" type tyre shines, but normally they hardly last, and if it rains....bye bye! haha!

My favs is Gloss it and Swissvax Pneu...but they are hellish expensive for what they are and dont last.

Maybe i should be trying some Z16! ;)

Hi JPC,
Its out of stock at CYC,

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/zaino/zaino-z-16-perfect-tire-gloss/prod_476.html

But I've found a decent place to get some from, they have a decent stock level.

http://www.zainoeurope.com//index.php/zaino/z-16-perfect-tire-gloss/p_13.html

It is very good, I like the fact it just makes tyres look brand new, and not fake shiny. Its quite like the Swissvax Pneu but not as expensive.
