Best tire gel??

I've used Tireific. It dries, but still has a wet look. Last for weeks. To clean you just wipe with a damp cloth. Some local rim shops carry it, but if you can't find it email me and I will point you to the maker. I have mine shipped to me for 12 dollars. It's worth it. Clean the wheel real good then take your time to apply. In the long run you save a lot of time.
 
The endurance works well but it picks up a lot of dust. That makes the tires gray looking. Zaino tire dressing worked great for me, low shine and lasted a long time.
 
Platinum Gel here! Doesn't seem to last quite as long as the Endurance, but it goes on easier (little thinner), doesn't have any PD's, and looks really nice!
 
I saw the review and people said Meguiars Endurance is too shiny, so shiny it's like it's fake and users rated only 3 stars. If it's that bad why do you recommand it??
 
This is what Meguiars Endurance looks like. I did not buff the tires in this pic.

I like both Meguiar's and Turtle Wax Tire Gel. They both last a while and are easy to apply. No mess. Wal-Mart here in Markham sells the Turtle Wax for $6, have the price that Crappy Tire charges.
 
I too like the Meg's Endurance (regular) for it's ease of use

and appearance when fresh. But like some others here have

meantioned it does tend to attract dust when the weather is

dry.
 
Is there a brand that has tire dressing that repels dust, has a slight gloss finish and not oily to the touch??
 
i don't like really glossy wheels so i use a natural look with a bit of a shine....alot of people stop me to ask what i use on my tires...i use duragloss #151
 
I had some Son of a Gun left over and just for kicks used it on my old work truck. Really looked nice, black and not shiney. Not sure about the dust thing or duribility.
 
Yeah unfortunately the selection of gels isn't so great this side of the border. The EO tire gel Iceman uses looked pretty good and he says it lasts pretty long.



I'm currently using TW Emerald Series tire gel (like at CT) and I'll keep on using it because I don't like very much gloss at all and just use this very sparingly to keep the tires looking dark. (Besides I have a ton of it. :p) I've never applied it any thicker unfortunately, but at the levels I apply it at it's satin/semi-gloss for a few days and then dies down to a matte look. Sooner if they get wet.



As far as I know, most dressings still leave something on the surface of the tire and none I've used dry completely dry.



If you want the convenience of foam without the mess, make a wheel shield out of cardboard or something and make it so you can stick double sided tape to the back and stick it to your wheel hub as you're spraying. Works well for the family vehicles here. :up





Armor All, in the non-clear mega-shine versions are water based and okay nowadays. They made the switch years ago actually, but you know how word of mouth persists and how many detailers/hobbyists are old-fashioned. ;)
 
I've used 'Groit's Rubber Cleaner' and then 'Forever Black then '303 Protecterant' as a final coat [UV protection from Florida sun) works for me.../
 
On either the Man channel or Speed, I saw a vignette on detailing where the host asked the "expert" for some "insider" tips. The guy stated that he used motor oil on his tires for a low shine, long last finish. He also said the effect builds eventually so you have to put it on less and less frequently. Has anyone heard of this?
