I like Meguiars endurance gel,Poorboys B 'n' B and Pinnacle gel. Just remember to dress tyres after you have cleaned your tyres.

More than likely, look on the website. i.e Vertar.

I only ever use Armorall Protectant - available from Halfords etc.

A quick wipe with some on a small sponge leaves a nice deep new look to the tyre, not that 'Arfur Daley' black tar look. Goes on clear and runs between the tread so there's a nice overall new look.

There is Zymol Tyre Preserve. Gives a nice natural look to the tyres. Good on other rubber seals etc too.

Zymol tyre is one of the best products they do and not as expensive as it seems, it lasts ages and if you keep the applicator sponge in a plastic bag after a few applications you can just use the sponge a few times without anymore tyre dressing. also dries totally so does not splash onto paintwork like most other tyre dressings.

Turtle was do a good 'tyre wax' which has shown decent results for me.

PS - Just remember to put in on the sidewalls and not the tread.................!!!

Gyn is right (you can trust a Detailer to know his stuff), Zymol Tyre is amazing stuff, and DOESNT contain any nasty silicones which can eat into the rubber... It'll give more of a nice matt black finish rather than a tacky shiny finish.

Now... without looking.... guess the price of Zymol tyre shine (or whatever it's called) No doubt it contains another rare ingredient only found on the 3rd wing feather of a DoDo!!!

Sorry to be sceptical!

LARGE YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Buy it and try it, send it back to me if you don't think it works. Simple.

I'll stand by these products because they work, I wouldn't make the same offer if I was selling Turtle Wax, Autogrim etc.

The only Zymol product I don't like is Vinyl- I don't get on with it at all.

Didn't buy it from Phil though...

I can vouch for Zymol Tire. It's great on the tyre sidewall plus bumper smile, sill rubbers, wiper arms, door handles, rubber beading, engine plastics, etc.

The advantage over all of the similar products I have tried is that it doesn't flick off the tyres and when applied on any rubbers if I get it on paintwork it just wipes off without any greasy smear.
