Can anyone recommend a decent tyre shine product? The last couple i bought (turtlewax & halfords jobbie) either left my alloys with black oily streaks, or just wasnt very good at giving the tyres a wet look.
From having used many, meguirs tyre gel (purple bottle) with the foam applicator (important to use) is the best stuff and I recommend

I will second this... fab stuff and lasts for quite a while :) I used to use it on the black bits on the car aswell :)

+ 3 on the megs tyre gel :thumb:
Clean the tyres first, let them dry and then Megs endurance tyre gel will work a treat for 3 or 4 weeks. I find that using a microfibre to apply it works well as it doesnt make them greasy, you are kind of buffing it on, so you get a nice matt sheen and the product wont splatter down the side of the car once the wheels start turning

Thanks :thumb:

i got some of this megs stuff on the recommendation of trig, i've found it a pain to apply but good when it's on there

 

i've found that the black cans of tyre-shine to be easy to apply and last well though too :cheers:

A 5p sized blob for half a tyre, on an old microfibre, buff it on, bingo. It shouldn't be hard to apply.

Well, you did, and I would appreciate it if you considered my feelings.

 

:P

Can anyone recomend what to use for the rubbing strips and mirror bases etc? I've got some simoniz bumper restorer and its wank, it looks good whilst its wet but 1/2 an hour later once its dried in it looks grey again.

Im gonna get this purple megs stuff for my tyres and i know someone said it can do black body bits, but im wondering if any of the big names do a good trim blackener
