Tyre dressing.
Ive always used autoglym instant tyre dressing as it works well and last's.
However, Now that im using it in bulk im finding it a bit expensive at over £5 for a 500ml bottle, It's not lasting me very long. Ive got a number of other types of dressing, Autosmart highstyle, Tyre dressing, Autoglym gel etc. But they just dont cut it and don't last long enough on the tyre.
What are you guys using? I preffer to sponge it on so don't necessarilly want a spray.
Hit me!

You don't use it 3 or 4 times a week because it lasts a good 2 or 3 weeks before it even stars fading.

Also swear by the Megs stuff, been using it for a long time now. I even tend to use it on other bits of rubber periodically such as window seals etc. Keeps it looking smart

Megs Gel is rather tasty, although I've just being using Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel on tyres, works just as well and a little goes a stupidly long way. Plus saves me buying more un-needed products !

Haha I've never tasted it, as much as I wanted to, resisted every time. Not falling for that mistake again after the Wet Mirror Finish incident.
