I find the Meguiars good.+1 :happy2:
Just avoid overloading it else it also has a tendency to spatter!

Another vote for Meguiars :happy2:

Meguires is rubbish, messy and an oil splatter mess after a drive.
Used to use it all the time till I've used other products.
For a wet more natural look then Zaino Z16 is another good product.

I prefer the gel, find it easier to apply and keep it contained to the tyres. Sometimes a spray can drip over the wheels and even hit the paint.
Meguires endurance is a good mention. My go to at the moment is Juicy Details Iced Apple Tyre Gel. Great finish and smells good. Its abit thicker than the meguires so easier to apply without it dripping off the applicator.
Let us know what you end up getting :)

Matt/Satin/Gloss finishes? Water / Oil based.
Once you have decided what you like then it may be easier for us to answer you.
I prefer a glossy dressing, so my current dressing for tyres is either megs endurance or sonax extreme.
if you Matt / Satin tyres, give infinity wax rubber wax a go. You can use Matt20 to get 20% discount, I dont benefit from this btw.

Highly hydrophobic with a nice semi mat look..
You can trim your unpainted plastic parts as well. It’s a nice product as it gives similar effects to wax on paint.

Formula 1 tyres appear to come with a nice glossy sidewall finish that lasts a whole race. I wonder why road tyre makers haven't come up with a some kind of coating that stays shiny?Will these rub the arch liners

Look up Soft99 Tyre Wax, probably the closest you'll get for a long term original look finish :smiley:

What degreaser do you lot use?
Gunk Engine Degreaser / Autofinesse All Purpose Cleaner / Fairy Liquid (For Moss), depending on what it's for

Ahh didn't realise there'd be so many degreasing purposes! Just for my tyres - I've got some Gtechniq T2 tyre dressing to go on but didn't want to waste it easily.

Oh for cleaning rubber, I use Adam's Tyre and Rubber Cleaner does a far better job just use it sparingly as it's stupidly expensive
