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. Daz

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