Tyre dressing

[Rhyso]

Looking for something that lasts longer than the 100 yards to the end of my street and gives a wet look

What are you guys / girls using these days? 

[Mr Blue]

Plenty out there but autosmart Highstyle 5L tub just because I have it laying around. Paint brush on, leave over night. stays dark and glossy for weeks.

I use Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel which lasts well.  Leaves a gloss finish which gets glossier the more coats you apply.

Have also tried Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel but was less impressed with it compared to the Megs.

Yeah my mate with a bodybshop uses the Highstyle 

I found the megs stuff very flingy and would leave the wheel almost as soon as I applied it

Megs endurance
G-techniq T1 layered
Zaino Z16
Autosmart highstyle

All good and last reasonably well but none of them will last ages in all honesty, to get the best out of any tyre dressing you need to get the tyres really really clean and grease free.

The dressings are slowly getting better and more durable as time goes on but due to the obvious grief tyres go through and what they come into contact with its not surprising they don't last that long but good prep will always help.

That's weird, I've never had that 

It lasts about 2 weeks on mine.  I apply it to very clean tyres using the purpose made Megs foam applicator.

I exaggerated a little but for me it lasted no longer than a week

Megs you need to apply and then wipe over again.  I found it attracted dust - not a fan of the gel type dressings.  Angle Wax Elixir is also worth a look if you like a more natural finish.  This is also very good: http://spautopia.co.uk/exterior-car-care/wheel-care/rubber-dub-tyre-and-rubber-dressing

I wash using the megs stuff and applied with an aplicator but found mine didn't seem to last long either the other day i found some iirc supaguard trim and tyre spray (from the time when i had the note  ) and thought i would give this ago tbh suprised by it it doesn't fling off lasts awhile even with rain and washing applied some 3 weeks ago and still shines

srucb the tyres with a cheapo wheel brush and some apc/surfex and get them clean first, its lasts longer i find
