What do you use for tyre shine?

Robbieee · 4th July 2008, 11:55

Anyone got any recommendations? I use Comma- seems to be pretty good.

angie4m · 4th July 2008, 11:56

I use that Tyre and Trim shine that you get from that boy on Ideal world. Brings them up a treat, my sisters soon to be husband thought I had put new tyres on!

I use Autoglym tyre shine. Does the job

Autoglym Tyre Shine for me too..

Thoroughly recommend 'Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tyre Gel'.

I apply it with a small 1" paint brush. Lasts for weeks. Excellent product.

I clean my tyres with the pressure washer whilst I'm doing the wheels. Gets all the dirt off and they look like new.

I have used the likes of Armourall Tyre Foam in the past but it wears off too quickly.

Robbieee · 4th July 2008, 13:02

Some good info guys!

Unknownsoldier · 4th July 2008, 13:45

Be careful using pressure washers on tyre walls, that can over timne damage them and cause bulges.

Yes thanks - I always do it from a distance and not right up close and personal.

I also ensure it's the lower pressure lance and not the dirt blaster which would probably punch a hole in the sidewall !

Unknownsoldier · 4th July 2008, 14:26

Was gonna say, otherwise you must get through tyres quickly

BTW, I use the face of the local pizza delivery boy, enough oil there to keep my tyres shiny for weeks

I've always used, up 'til now, Turtle Wax Foam tyre shine, it gives a good, but not long lasting finish, but might try that Megulars stuff.

I take it that Halfrauds sells it?

That Turtle Wax marks up the driveway so be carefull out there!

Get Mrs H to pop out with the Pledge and duster each evening. Or whilst she's cleaning your shoes put some Cherry Blossom on them.

Robbieee · 4th July 2008, 15:34

The one i use to pretty good- lasts for a few weeks.

Might try another to compare tho- possibly the carplan one.

IanG · 4th July 2008, 15:35

Tried all sorts from Megs, Poorboys etc and have found the Finish Kare to be the best no splatter on wheels and seems to last a good couple of weeks

It's 'Lady' H you know, and we have a man in that does the dusting at Harding Towers.

Anyway he drives a Ford so I won't let him anywhere near Millie!
