I have to say, I bought a 500ml bottle today for £5.99 and it really is far superior to any other tyre dressing I have used.

Anyone else use it?

I used Turtlewax last time and to be honest it was just average, lasted about 2 days and was then gone, washed off or otherwise....

I don't, but then that probably doesn't surprise you!

Tip for neater applying - ditch bottle it comes in - pour into jar, take 2" paintbrush and paint on instead. Neater application and uses / wastes less.

The looks my neighbours give me when I'm out painting my tyres is priceless.

ValetPro Pro Tyre Dressing or one made by a trade supplier called Nielsens.

I'm actually soon to become a reseller of ValetPro

ill have to disagree with you there Rich

if thats the stuff you used on my tyres it lasted about 2days! Plus it didnt shine as deep as the ag stuff imp

autoglym lasts a week at least. I have yet to try the megs stuff but have heard good things about it. Place near me doesnt sell it tho and everything else i have is autoglym so i use that

I can't remember what I did use on yours tbh! I've only moved over to the VP stuff recently (first 5L container) so it may well have been the Nielsens stuff, which is used for budgeting reasons more than anything.

Megs Endurance is one of the better ones that is easily available. Still flings quite easily though I find.

I also prefer using a liquid rather than an actual gel these days. All down to preference though

I use the Nielsen's stuff Rich sent me

Works fairly well, it lasted ages the first time I applied it, I think it might have been down to giving the tyre a quick wipe afterwards because I didn't the last time and it's not lasting as long.
