Thanks again Mr GTD.
I'm glad that your the tyre dressing in the Meguires - I ordered some on Saturday  :evil: Do you find that the tyre dressing splats over the car more by applying by brush ?  I was going to apply with a sponge but I am really impressed with the results you got.

Thanks for the replies in general guys

I've just started using Megs endurance and really like it, i apply with the megs applicator sponge which gives a nice even coat.

@MrGTD, it looks like you've got a bit too much on there mate? It's running from the top. :sad:

No I haven't had problems with it spitting, I found using a brush I got better coverage :cool:

Yeah after taking that pic I looked at it and noticed that there was some runs so I simply dabbed it with a sponge and all was well again, good spot Jimble... :wink:

For me the Megs tyre gel gives it a tacky, greasy look if you use too much.

I've just tried this http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/swissvax-pneu-cat15.html and it's good stuff, pricey but excellent stuff

Yes heard good reviews about that Swisswax...and I think if your prepared to spend £25K plus on a golf then £19 isn't that bad...

Jetseal 109 as a sealant, great stuff and also use it on the chrome tailpipes.

A foam applicator I find is the best and easiest way to apply your tyre dressing.
