My top three for a wet look are:

- Pinncle Black Onyx
- Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel
- Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel

I tend to opt for the CG's one the most of late, as it works well on plastic trim too.

If cost wasn't an issue I'd opt for the Pinnacle, but it's not cheap...

CG - New Look Trim Gel for me too. Use it on most plastics to be honest  cleans & polishes. :happy2:

I'm still happy with my megs endurance gel. Apply with a brush and leave to soak on for a glossy finish. Lasts maybe 4-5 days for me.

Another vote for the Megs Gel, smells great too!  :smiley:

One friend who's a weekend warrior detailer loves Poorboy's natural look dressing.

Either way, remember to scrub the tyres clean first with APC and something as stiff as a nail brush. Helps the dressing to bond better and provide a better finish.

If you're after a shiner finish than the autoglym I'd go for megs endurance gel as others have mentioned. Can attract the dust though and get a bit sticky if it's not washed off before being re-applied :)

The Meguiars endurance has always done the business for me.
