Rich - Megs endurance tyre gel

[Jay]

Dear Rich,

I've noticed no matter how thin I apply it and top it off auto glym vinyl and rubber, also leaving it over night. I still get spray of black sh*t up the sides of my car and on the edge of the wheel arch.

Any tips please mate?

When I drive my car the tyres spray the black cr@p up the sides.

Yeah i get this too, it a proper pain in the ass. Specially all over a newly washed car. Rich must have a tip!!

Megs is endurance is bad for this if the car is driven within 12 hours of it being applied, i used to be a big fan of endurance gel but i've now moved onto Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel from Car Was and wax: http://www.carwashnwax.com/10278/info.php?p=13&pno=0&pid=548255&cat=&ack=9&search=&sought=

Apply onto clean tyres/exterior plastics etc...wipe over 20-30 mins later with a clean microfibre, water repelant shine and no runs.

Cheers, Alan.

I dont think the AG V&R will bond to it hence the splatter. When I use Enduraace I just leave it at that.

I would suggest Poorboys Bold and Bright.

I find Megs Endurance fine on its own, although have to apply it liberally to get a decent gloss.

I just use V and R..... are there any good rubber 'cleaners' on the market - My tyres need a good clean really....

 

[Rich]

I use Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner or AG Engine and Machine cleaner to clean tyres. Removes any browning etc and leaves them ready for a dressing.

AG Rubber Plus (Trade range product) cleans and dresses in one go.

I've always had a problem with the Meg's but the New Trim Gel like Alan said is now what I use instead, if you leave it your fine.

With the Trim Gel i normally leave it around an hour before driving and i have no problems,i also find that i get a more even application with the Tyre dressing applicators and that it also helps prevent the sling up the side of the car

I had this once when I applied it too thick, I know apply it with a paint brush and fairly thin, then give it a quick wipe with a cloth. Never get splatter anymore and they shine just aswel and it lasts just as long.

 

[DH_GTI]

just leave it to dry or rub it in propley, usally helps i dont get splatter lol,

Thinking We should have a "Dear Rich" section in forum lol. as he is a expert, cant wait for my car to get his treatment lol

 

[Rich]

You not doing these on Sunday's anymore Rich? Cost too much in joints of meat huh!?!

 

[BRUN]

it says on the back to leave it for a bit then wipe off any residue, if your doing that i cant see how it would happen

ive never had a problem with it apart from the time i forgot to wipe off the excess

 

[Rich]

LOL, I can do Saturdays or Sundays still up to the customer ... The free Sunday roast was one I was trying to keep quiet tho!

I wouldn't use tyre dressing before the trackday....

 

[Rich]

I wouldn't use tyre dressing before the trackday....

Come on makes it fun

 

[Ambo]

^^apologies for being an old fart

 

[Rich]

Serious point made I was just messing, I would normally say by the time Jay had reached the circuit the dressing would be off the area that counts, but looking at the tyres running on the sidewalls at some of these track days, a quick wipe round each tyre wall with a Microfiber may be a wise choice.

 

[Ambo]

knew you were messing...good advice there i reckon!

 

[Rich]

We can't mess around when it comes to our leaders safety

 

[Ambo]

Especially when my cars on the same track!

 

[Rich]

We dont want and Racing Blue paint on the Black Gold or vice versa.
