What tyre shine products do y'all use.  I use the Meguiars stuf.  And just wanted to know what other folk on here used.

The Meguiars cost me £6.99 and is excellent.  I like you used to use back to black, but it lasts about as long as cheap after shave.

I would therefore recommend Meguiars.  Give it a whirl and let us know what you think.  I have been very impressed with all their products so far.  My birthday list was full of that stuff.  Sad I know...

Megs Endurance Tyre Gel - which in many detailers eyes is by far the best out there.  The life of the product is outstanding and I've still got 3/4's of a bottle that I've had a year now.

I guess another point might be how often do y'all apply?  I am now in the habit of doing it everytime I wash my car because it just looks so cool.  much better than the average cars gray worn looking tyres.

I apply it every two weeks at the same time that I polish and rewax the car (fornightly).  I wash the car every week though and find that the Endurance Gel is still fairly fresh looking.

Once you get to 3 weeks, I think it's pretty much lost its look.

Spot on Sir, when my fiancée is working at the weekends, I get to spend two whole days washing and polishing my beloved!

I use the Autoglym stuff but when it runs out I will be buying a bottle of the Megs stuff.  One of the lads in the office gave me a bottle to try and it lasted much longer than the Autoglym stuff.  And it looked good on his Honda Civic Type R but he has seen sense and bought a 120d (well if you call buying a brand new 1 series sensible at least it is German, rear wheel drive and has the engine mounted the grown ups way)

I can't remember the name of the product, but I can remember what the bottle looked like.
