Thumbs up Tried Meguires Tire gel, great product!! (Not Endurance)

It's apparently an older product in the normal maroon container.
Has jojoba oils and other stuff good enough to eat, it's not even on the Meguires site anymore. I guess Walmart is discontinuing it, they had it on the clearance rack for a buck!! It's a gel-type product that is greyish and works great! It's thick, but when I applied it the greyish color absorbed into the tire and made them
a nice, jet black! I let it "marinate" in the sun and it looks great, more shiny than a "matte" finish but less shiny than the silicone
wet looking finish. It also last as I washed the car a few times and the tires still looked great, all I did was refresh the surface by
buffing the tire slightly and re-applying a small, diluted amount to the tire. Don't know why this stuff didn't sell, but it beats the hell out of my Endurance, which is under my sink 3/4 full. Endurance just slings too much and was a dust/dirt magnet, and didn't even give me the shine advertised.

First time I've seen anyone mention that tire gel on this board. I liked it too while I could find it and as you said it isn't even on Mequires web site. I never could find it there over the last four years I was using it on the last two cars. I'm out of it now and have been using Zaino and 303 but it was great stuff, very predictable in how it performed and you had control over the amount of gloss. It lasted for a few weeks over multiple washings and never browned the tires. I'm surprised it's being discontinued if that's the case, I'd like to know where to find it if that's possible.
