Tyre dressing.

[andybond]

I want a decent tyre dresser. Nothing too expensive , but nothing that is going to last 15 minutes either.

Any recommendations ?

Tyres should be clean mat black (unless white walls) not glossy.
I use a brush and the last of the washing bucket suds

Gyeon Tire or ODK Attire.

Those two get my vote. Both have a more natural look to them rather than super dripping wet. They're both non greasy and won't sling up the side of your car.
I've got the ODKdressing lasts a little longer.

Gyeon



ODK

I've always been a bit of a fan of the old Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel.

Thanks Steve !

Gyeon or Megs Endurance, the only two I use and recommend to customers.

 

[andybond]

oh, second gyeon vote !

How do you pronounce Gyeon ?

Gayeon ?
Gee on ?
Yown ?

 

[Larsson7]

I pronounce it gee-on, but I have no idea if that's correct

After applying it if you give it some heat with a hair dryer it lasts for many weeks, great durability.

Andy, there is only one to go for.......Black Pearl.

An American product but has a UK distributor.

Before I took my Ph2 wheels off it had been on for 12 months and the tyre walls still looked like new. Any new tyres will now have it applied, it's outstanding.

You can't just apply it on your drive after washing your car, ideally wheel needs to be off and tyre needs to be scrupulously clean. Even a brand new tyre needs cleaning with some sort of contact cleaner as it's amazing how much crap comes off the side walls. If they're not 100% clean the stuff won't take to the tyre.
