[Kris86]

Ok my uncle has some in like a 3L can, its a light yellow liquid and is really good stuff, but does anyone know the make of it or where i could get it?

 

[Paul.]

[Dangerous_dave]

[Kris86]

Kris, used Megs Endurance on yours when I PC'd it. Worth trying this, Megs Hot Wheels Wet Look from Halfrauds, or if you can stump up the cash, Blackfire Tyre Gel.

cheers fella,

is it deffo worth the £16 if it is i will order some,

 

[Kris86]

how you apply that blackfire one Jamie? Just pour onto applicator pads of would a pot/brush work better?

 

[Cliotoby]

lasts agers the blackfire, im due a new bottle too. I really do reccomend wearing gloves lol its rarther greasy, and dont over apply it, wipe the excess off once your done or itll end up all over your wheels. God i sound like a right retart.

Clean your tyres with something like an all purpose cleaner and a scrubbing brush, make sure they are really dry and use a sponge applicator pad (i use cheap car washing sponges cut up) to apply it.

I'd bet its Autosmart Highstyle, I have a can of it myself.

Off your local Autosmart rep, go on their site and you should be able to find one local to you

Well worth it, barely use any each time you apply it, the bottle and the product lasts a long time.

Small amount onto an applicator pad for me, buff off if required and reapply but that only applies to Megs. Blackfire is a wipe on and leave product.

Always know someone has a head on their shoulders when they suggest this.

Hai!

Same stuff I use for client's cars. Works very well, but make sure the applicator is not too over loaded with the gel.

 

[EllD90]

I dropped and cracked my bottle. The stuff went all over the floor

Dipped the foam applicator in the pool of gel and all was well

Zaino Z-16 is best if you're after a more natural mat sheen. The trick with getting tyres nice and black is to clean them properly before applying dressing.

 

[mr.valver]

I rub on and then off with the megs, doesn't make them greasy just super clean, and beads all the water that touches after.

 

[JD]

The Zaino ain't half bad, but does have a little bit of a mark up on it as people are going through the standard "AG, no DODO, no Zaino" phase.

Mr Valver, nothing wrong with that lad

 

[alex-avfc]

I splashed out on some Pinnacle Black Onyx tyre gel the other day which is finally a tyre dressing I've found that DOESN'T splatter on the arches etc. Expensive for what it is though

 

[JD]

Most gels won't splatter, if you leave them to dry

But seriously, dry tyres and wheels, carry on with rest of paint work, come back to them when they are fully dried out and light layer of product. Buff off if you want sheen rather than shine

 

[alex-avfc]

Jamie... with the Chem Guys New look trim gel I was using before, I'd degrease the tyre with G101 before application, let it dry, apply a layer of gel, buff off, apply another layer, buff back a bit again, and it would still splatter everywhere ! So I've moved onto this and it seems to do the job somehow.

 

[JD]

Shouldn't need two layers lad. That may be your issue, plus drying times. Needs to sink in.
