I use this currently, but might change dependent on cost....



.....lasts about 3 weeks covering 200 miles a week, round the Devon twisties. It costs about £6-7-8 and you get a foam applicator.

How much do you pay for Blackfire, it looks fantastic!  :smiley:

It cost me £19.50...here's the write up... :smiley:

Blackfire Total Eclipse Tyre Gel is without any doubt one of the best tyres dressings on the market today. We use it on a regular basis in our studio whenever our customers request a high gloss finish on their tyres. Blackfire Total Eclipse Tyre Gel goes on very easily with little fuss or mess, and produces a rich looking finish that can easily be adjusted in terms of the shine level. The formula gives a glossy look upon initial application, but then dries to give a rich satin black finish in around 1-2 hours. If more gloss is desired, a second application 10 minutes after the first will produce a higher gloss finish once dry. Durability is excellent for a water-based dressing; under typical British weather conditions each application usually lasts for a minimum of three weeks, and if multiple layers are applied then four weeks or more is realistically achievable.

Hmmm I use PoorBoys Tyre Gel just now. Gets good write ups on deatailing world, but sometimes ends up up the side of my car. Was hoping the stuff you used wasnt a gel, but will probably just be more or less the same product. Is there any wax applications out there?

I use the Blackfire Tire Gel too.

I also have Migliore Bella Lustra. Less glossy but spray on, wipe and no sling.

My neighbours already think I'm off the scale with my twice a week car cleaning. We have an agreement though - no pressure washers before the hours of 0830.
