I found the best 1 was auto glym. Instant shine or wotever. Its not an aerosol and is a milky liquid. Lasts pretty long. Meguires tyre gel is good for shows/meets but wears really quickly, smells so nice tho!!

do you guys take your wheels off when doing this to your tyres? I find it a real pain in the arse to keep on having to roll backwards or forwards to do different parts of the wheel

i just use it on the side wall like :? doesnt putting it on the tyre itself where it contacts with the road make it slippy?

Jus the side mate. Sprayin it on the tread would be well dodgy!

Used the tire foam stuff, Turtle Wax gel stuff, normal back to black, and halfords spray stuff. Have to say that although the spray head thye supply it with is awful, the actuall stuff in the halfords bottle is pretty good :). Really shines, but only lasts a couple of days :(. Gonna finish the bottle and try suomething else i think, but it isnt too bad :). Some of the gels can be a pain in the arse to get on properly :look:.

Meguiars!

After trying lots of sprays and foams, this rocks. The gel is easy to apply, like any meguiars product. Use a sponge. It's that simple. Lasts for ages too. Sprays are hard to control and you often end up with it on your nice clean alloy rim!

Gels stick and spreads far meaning less used!
