What type of finish do you like?
Zaino Z16 or Pneu if you want to spend a bit
AG tyre dressing is great if used properly, cheap to use.
Megs Endurance leaves a bling finish, I didn't like it.

I really like the 3M tyre dressing and it's cheap as chips too - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...rer-cat15.html

I use autosmart high style and it can be used on the external plastics too, it comes in a 5l container so I doubt I'll ever run out, it cost me about £20 from my local autosmart rep

Anyone care to take any photos of their tyres so we can see the differences of the offerings by 3M, Blackfire, Megs endurance, Zaino Z16 etc?

Do most tyre dressings last 2 weeks? Just been looking on the polished bliss website as I have just run out of my Turtle wax nanotec dressing and need some more, preferably better as I wasnt massively impressed with its durability. The swissvax pneu seems to be the most durable but costs quite a bit more than the 3M.

Autoglym doesn't last very long, maybe a few days of shine if using the car daily.

Yeah, Im wanting to steer clear of Halfords specials.

On the PB website they have blackfires 4/5 durability but say it lasts 2-3 weeks. The 3M 2/5 durability but say it lasts 2 weeks. Half the star ratings but both stated as a minimum of 2 weeks.
