+1 for Quarts Tyre Dressing.  By far the best I've ever used.  Lasts for ages, and a breeze to apply.  The ease of a water based gel, but the longevity of silicone gel.

Finally got round to using Quarts tyre dressing yesterday.
I have to say I'm really impressed with the ease of application and the finished look. I'd say the finish is more satin than gloss.
I've never used a tyre dressing before so I've got nothing to compare it to but so far so good.

Just got myself some Quartz dressing which I've applied to my used tyres.
Results seem pretty good, will see how long it lasts and update.

a quick footnote though, the 1 litre bottles I received appeared to have been opened, and are about 2/3'ish full.
Any of you guys receive them this way?

cheers

A bit of a moot point seeing as Quarts shelves have been empty for quite some time now but none the less -

here's a couple of snaps of my tyres after using the tyre shine; two week gap between the two photos and there is absolutely no need to re-apply, they still look like it was applied yesterday.
I'm very impressed. That said i have no frame of reference because its a new product to me.

Nice pics.  :smiley:

I know, it's great stuff.  Shame it's run out. And though you have no frame of reference, I have many and it has out performed them all.
