or if you prefer to use chemical guys products, the 'new look' gel has had a good feedback.... :)

I use the spray on stuff from pound land and it works a treat.

oh no :( but how long does it last? and have you noticed any weathering of your tyres yet? i used to use that on my last car and the walls of my tyres were wearing wayyyy to quickly

also try meguires endurance gel it lasts for weeks. when washing the car make sure you also scrub the tyre walls as alot of people miss this area when cleaning the alloys.

I spray it on the wheels then use a brush to take off the excess.

Works well for me. Just dont apply it on a sunny day in direct sunlight, it turns the tyres brown.:confused:

To avoid your tyres turning brown let your tyres dry out completely before applying anything. :D

one thing i have found with these dressing's is that they look good for about 10 miles,. and then the dressing comes off covering the alloy... which then makes all the dirt and brake dust stick which makes the alloy dirty within days..

not if you apply it to the tyre wall, when dry and with a proper applicator.

always allow it to dry first, as above, i highly recommend AG instant tyre dressing,it lasted a good week or two on my golf, even with the rain....:o
