For those who have never used it before have a look here motorgeek for 303 aerospace protectant

Really versatile stuff

Tried that and hated it. It left a tacky, oily film on the surface that marks your clothes if you brush against it. I only used it twice and it then ended up in the bin.

use Meguiars before and now use the Autoglym Tyre Shine, I prefer AG, long lasting than the Meg.

carplan tyre slick oldest and still one off the best and cheapest

angie4m · 4th July 2008, 22:20

I use the stuff here Greased Lightning

The Wheelshield works a treat and only needs to be applied once every 6 months. They also so a glaze product which I have 4 bottles of as it came in a pack but i've never used it. Doubt it would make any diff to the paint on the Civic

Turtle wax extreme nano tech tyre gel- not all that durable but you get loads in the bottle so good value- smells nice too!

It's good but I find it doesn't last all that well

Auto Rae-Chem · 6th July 2008, 18:41

Yes.
The tyre need to be dried when applied, can last a good time.

I would not recomend any tyre products on Civic paint work!

Brings to mind orange pealing!

Who said anything about using tyre products on the Paint?

The glaze is a paint glaze which supposedly gives a showroom shine for upto 5 years, sound just like Superguard
