My top three for a wet look are:

- Pinncle Black Onyx
- Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel
- Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel

I tend to opt for the CG's one the most of late, as it works well on plastic trim too.

If cost wasn't an issue I'd opt for the Pinnacle, but it's not cheap...

I used to be indecisive.......... but now I'm not so sure!

CG - New Look Trim Gel for me too. Use it on most plastics to be honest  cleans & polishes. :happy2:
No Golf anymore. 
Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.

I'm still happy with my megs endurance gel. Apply with a brush and leave to soak on for a glossy finish. Lasts maybe 4-5 days for me.

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

Another vote for the Megs Gel, smells great too!  :smiley:

One friend who's a weekend warrior detailer loves Poorboy's natural look dressing.

Either way, remember to scrub the tyres clean first with APC and something as stiff as a nail brush. Helps the dressing to bond better and provide a better finish.

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

If you're after a shiner finish than the autoglym I'd go for megs endurance gel as others have mentioned. Can attract the dust though and get a bit sticky if it's not washed off before being re-applied :)

The Meguiars endurance has always done the business for me.
