Default Tyre Dressing

not with a bow tie...I tried that, but it kept falling off

When you have finished the weekly polish, what do you use on the tyre side walls to finish the car off?
I usually use the Turtle Wax Tyre black stuff (a clear liquid in a clear spray bottle) can anyone else reccomend any other product?

I`ve used a few.

The stuff you mention but I find that doesn`t last long.

The Turd-tle silicon gel - thats better than the above.

The Zaino tyre dressing is the best I`ve used. It lasts ages; cannot be bought in the UK (over the counter) has to be imported. Is more expensive. Do a search on Zaino.

You are entering a magic art when discussing cleaning of the vehicle. We all have our own views. Generally the bottom line is Zaino, Zymol or Meguires.

I am a Zaino boy through and through.

Zymol tyre not only smells the biz but keeps your hands nice and soft as well!!! Oh and it does a great job of making your tirewalls look great
