i was talking to a boy today with a golf gti, the tyre shine he had on was absolutely gleaming!

he said it was called "re tyre" or something

anyone know anything about it or where to get it?

autosmart chemicals do an amazing tyre shine, have to paint it on a dry tyre, leave for an hour or so.. but does look very very impressive

best ive found is halfords rubber and vinyl lubricant.

its not a dressing as such but leaves any plastics and rubber bits, tyres included dark and wet looking for ages my tyres lasted a week of rain and motorway driving!!!

Concept Contour, where do you get that from? Just normal car shops?

Iv been using TurtleWax stuff for the tyres recently and it seems to last a right while (its a clear liquid in a squirty bottle with green top, cant remember the name) Expensive though at fiver a bottle and would do maybe a month or so.

What ever is in
I have tried the Poorboys Bold & Bright this week, it doesn't leave it to wet looking, more a Satin finish... But by God it doesn't come off.. I found some products flick up the arches and look S**T....

As said above, a tin of silicone spray. Even dashboard cleaner spray does the trick and all for a couple of quid

anyone else think different products give different results on different brands of tires?

I used to use that and then moved onto Williams F1 stuff that was £6.99 a bottle and hardly lasted when I had done my car and my dads car. Come round to mine sometime and you can have a blast on the Megs purple gel stuff, got it while back and tyres are still gleaming!
