I've used mostly spray on products perviously. CarPlan seems to be the best i've used- but does anyone know of a better product?

My car gets lots of highway / motorway miles- but i'm all for cleaning / reapplying every couple of weeks.

thanks

Chemical Guy's Natural Matte Finish ..........

leaves a natural shine without the "bling" of something like Armor All

You can always use 303 Aerospace Protectant ... not overly shiny though, just that "new tire" look.

just a tip guys for best application of tire dressing make sure you clean off the tires well.

apc or even stoners tarminator prior to tire dressing will give it a clean look as well will provide a cleaner dressing application.

the dressing will last longer.

I wasnt into using a regular shelf brand and thought I would have to find some secret sauce to keep the tires wet looking. Found this on sale at auto zone and regret not buying 2 cans. 3 weeks later I just put a light second coat on. Clean the wheels fist let them dry and it looks great! Just clean the overspray from the rims ASAP.

Cannot seem to find it in the UK- does anyone have experience with this?

Not sure what the best is, but I would recommend something water based vice silicone based. The silicone based ones will eventually turn your tires brown, whereas the water based ones will actually help keep your tires nourished.

The most durable option on the market is the TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat by far. The glossy appearance will last months in peak condition and the protection can last up to years. It's an incredible product I'd highly recommend to anyone!

I like using Meguiar's Tire Foam. It may not be the best, but it's easy to use and it looks great.

I deal with a high volume of cars at a full service carwash with detail options and we use Lustre All from Detail Plus. It is a typical thicker style white dressing that leaves a surprising shine. It's really shiny. Sticks on pretty well and lasts. Not sure the chemical contents and how safe it is but the people that like the wet look, love this stuff.

meg's endurance tire gel gives you that glossy look that you like, and lasts around 3 weeks then the shine starts to dull, but still stays there another 2 weeks. Little bit goes a long way with an applicator.

thanks everyone, i went for TUF SHINE in the end- got it from the uk online retailer 'wax attack for £20 inc P&P- which i thought was very good given it comes with tyre cleaner, a scrubber, the TUF SHINE, applicator pad and gloves.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
