autoglym is the best. cheap alternative is tyre magic we sell it for about £3 just spray the foam on its done it only takes a min, although it does wear off after a couple of miles

megs is sooo much better than the autoglym,
megs endurance gloss is also good for all types of plastic as well as tyres (although is doesnt say this), it makes my black dimma grill look painted!
