Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel - loks great and does exactly what is says on the tin. It's also the blackest looking tyre dressing I've come across, and all we now use on customer cars. Here it is on my tyres...

Wowwww looks well
Is it ok for Worn tyres though as yours seem good and fairly new anyway, but this might just be the good product used (i hope it is).
How long does it usually last before dulling on your tyres then?

As above - I find two coats lasts around a month, even in the wet. And yep, it works just as well on older tyres too (the very tyre in the above picture was down to 3mm and had done 21k!).

The blackfire one is very good, but my fave is swissvax pneu. Only because i like the matt look over greasey dressings. Its not the longest lasting stuff in the world though, so the blackfire might be your best bet. It also doesnt have the "fling" that the megs tyre gel does.

The trick I find is not to get excess in tyre grooves. Which causes "flinging". I also leave it on overnight before driving.

Use Swissvax Pneu on my details and Autosmart Highstyle for general jobs.

Agree with Ant and Tim on the fling issue; we apply very thinly using a foam pad, making sure no excess is left in the edge of the tread. Leaving to dry overnight before driving is best, otherwise wipe the tyre down gently with a work towel 30 mins after application - both methods should see no resulting sling.
