Cant seem to find a good tyre slick. So want to know what you all use on this side of the water.

Need something glossy that last in all weather.

Thanks guys in advance.

Chris

I have used a ton of different products. And nothing has even come close to this stuff. It actually dries on like a clear coat. At one point I waited a month and just took a moist sponge to the tires and they were still fairly shiny.

Be warned if your tires are dirty it will look like ****!! Read the directions and follow them religiously or you will regret it. Actually on sale this month on detail image link below. Read the reviews they do not lie.

Griots rubber and tire dressing... Leaves a satin and non plastic looking finish. They also see a long lasting gel that works well but can be too shiny for me.

Let's put it this way, I clean my girl every weekend, and apply every two weeks. You need an applicator (just makes life easier) and whatever is left on the applicator will end up on the next application. I've had that bottle for one year +. to note for best effect leave it on 24hrs and next day just dap with some kitchen roll to stop any potential splatters. It's about £8 a bottle but love the stuff :-)

I've been using 303 Aerospace for years. Nice matte shine. For the glossy look, I like to use Black Magic Tire Wet Foam
