A microfibre cloth for me, use the same one so it's always nice and damp with tyre dressing too.

Small paint brush for me to apply tyre dressing, use Autoglym rubber cleaner, buy it in 5 Litre tins.

I've never tried Snow Foam before...I haven't got a power washer, can it be used with an ordinary hose with attachment? If so what foam and attachments have people tried.

There was a post today on the SELOC (Lotus forum) from a guy who used some snow foam on his Lotus and it removed the dye from his room, so the Blue room is now black!

You can get these instead but not quite as effective

What is the best tyre dressing for a real good wet look? Tried a few but they aren't the best... Any recommendations?

For a real wet look to the tyres, my suggestion would be Meguairs Endurance. It does feel quite sticky after application but it certainly looks wetter than the others I use (I personally prefer a more satin finish)

This is Megs Endurance on a BMW 5-Series

Agree with above. Although recently i have been using Autoglym's spray on tyre shine for ease of application.
