Shiny, durable tyre shine...?

[The Seer]

Been using Finish Kare #108 anti static dressing, good product but not too keen on it's matt/satin finish. Tried Poorboys dressing also, not very durable though.

After something that is very durable but glossy and shiny too. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

This.

Out of interest, why do you want a durable dressing?

Megs endurance will last well so long as it doesnt rain, but after a week or two when you next come to wash it its easily removed makeing it easy to re apply. Its also piss cheap too.

If you want durable, Blackfire Long lasting tyre gel will last a while, but once it rains or youve washed it itll lose its sheen - as will all gels.

This is the correct answer tbh. What do you want from a tyre shine product? If you'll only use it for shows, AG Tyre Shine is a water based product and will give a good shine for a few hours. And is cheap. Megs Endurance is OK. Detailers don't use it that often purely because, as Tobias has stated, if it rains, it won't last a mile.

I've found turtle wax bumper and tyre gel works quite well... It smells awesome too

 

[Gally]

Megs is still one of the best in the market and using my application lasts easily in wet conditions.

Superb product and for the price hard to beat. I'll try onyx next. My megs has last nearly 2 years. Mad value for money.

I use turtle wax nano tech

great stuff

If your having durability problems make sure the wall of the tyre is actually clean before you apply it

 

[JD]

Most people clean. Most don't ensure it's dry. That tends to be the main down fall.

 

[Yellow Dave]

I've never found one to be overly durable, some are still present and turn to a matt cleanish tyre but I always end up topping it up each week to bring back the shine. GTechniq T1 has had the best durability as such but it does as I said above.

Due to this I've switched back to the cheap old AG products, think I'm currently using rubber and vinyl one and just use it every week. Lasted fine driving through yesterdays rain we had.

No idea if it's any good and it's not cheap but:

Anyone tried tyre paint from Halfords?

 

[aucky]

Found some in my grandad's shed once, disaster.

 

[Gally]

Pmsl! Just buy some black hammerite from Halfrauds? Infinite Black?

 

[Owen]

Megs endurance or Blackfire for me. As those infinitely more in the know than me have pointed out, neither lasts forever, although a clean, dry tyre maximises durability IME.

 

[Cliotoby]

Gally youd be DISGUSTED at how much endurance gel I go through.


Thats tyre gel btw. Not some kind of lube.


Altho I could show you my "endurance gel".

 

[The Seer]

I'd like it to be durable so that it shines for some time. As mentioned when it rains, the glossy sheen is lost. Just trying to find a product which lasts the longest in this respect.

 

[The Seer]

Not using it for shows, just want decent durability, good shine and gloss. Don't like the idea of it wearing off when it rains!

I wash the tyres at the last stage of washing the car, then dry them.

Megs endurance.

You might have seen it mentioned before.

Even with wet weather driving it still looks good afterwards?

 

[Gally]

Yes it'll last longer than the car.

 

[Cliotoby]

Wont look freshly applied by any means. Nothing will.

Just get some Megs.

£8/9 a bottle its hardly a killer. Apply with a MF or Foam applicator pad, remove excess with an MF towel if you prefer a "matt" look.

Youll see why so many people favour it.

I'm guessing the local Halfrauds will supply?

 

[Adamm.]

Yep halfords should have some.

Put money on it?

 

[The Seer]

Thanks for all the info chaps , a trip to Halfords next pay day!

 

[RussZS]

Pinnacle Black Onyx is the one...

 

[banderson]

I use autoglym rubber plus! Last a fair while tbh

Vinyl and rubber care?

Lasts all of about 3 days with the current weather on my car, and I'm applying it weekly. With correct preparation

 

[davo172]

turtle wax wet and black.

Same product, different esther (smell).

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

megs endurance applied with a paint brush

 

[Ads_172]

I tried a sample of DJ Tyromania recently and that's lasted fairly well so far.

 

[RDH]

Megs endurance for me aswell. Cheap and does a good job. If you wash your car / apply it once a week it always looks good.

 

[Ryan218]

Megs endurance for me every time!
