I keep my car clean but it hate that tyre black stuff and never use it

Polishing your tyres isn't going to help them get through an mot

They are either legal or not

Neither is polishing your car or hoovering it out, however its nice to do.

meguiars endurance tyre gel is the best stuff - used to use it for when I used to detail - recommended by detailingworld users.

DOnt but the hype that it hydrates the sidewalls and makes them last longer/avoid cracking. It's all BS Nothing can reverse aging of a tyre unless it's melted and reformed into a new tyre.

Reminds me of the 1980s and black vinyl roofs. I had a tin of black wax polish from Halfords and used to polish the roof of our Flamenco Red Princess 1800 HL from time to time. Very comfortable car and we did a huge mileage in it and then our son used it for commuting for a couple of years ... .

Agree this is an excellent product.

When I had my van sales business, we would repaint the actual wheels, spraying silver, then tyre black paint the rubber. Always looked good on the forecourt, but not as good as the gel products now availalble.

I don't see the point of this stuff, unless you're selling the car or putting it into some car show or something. Keeping your car looking good is one thing but this is a bit OTT imho. It also ends up over your nice, clean alloys after a few drives.

Never had an issue with Autoglym or Meguires stuff, though the Meguires I have used was the Gel and it was a bit of a pain to apply and best done with a glove of some kind, then you have to store the applicator which was always messy.

When doing Chauffeur work you would do a quick application of Autoglym and a quick clean with Rapid Detailer several times a day.

Easy to wipe off any overspray of Autoglym, which was always my preferred product.

Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing - reasonably cheap, looks good, stays just on the tyres.

But it won't help pass an MOT - this sort of product is cosmetic only.

^^^^^^^this!
