I Must Reccommend -

Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel.

this gel does not leave tires looking too shiny, but gives them more of a clean factory look, and supposely lasts for "weeks, not days."

i applied it to a 328i i detailed today, and it looked fantastic. as with all Meguair's, the stuff smells amazing.

definately the best stuff i've used to date.

Different Strokes

I use Meguiars' products for most everything else, but the tire gel didn't work well for me. I had a significant increase in brake dust accumulation after just one use. The tires looked great, but the rims...

The Eagle One product worked better for me, but I am now avoiding tire products on a routine basis. Meguiars' Quick Detailer on the rims after each wash has helped the brake dust problem a great deal.

Use a small sponge to apply or better yet if your supermarket sells the plastic yellow dish cleaner sponge thing with the plastic handle you fill up with dish soap; use that and fill it with tire dressing.

Yepp, I use it after every carwash! Just have to find out how much to use - it will come off and leave little black spots on the freshly washed car when applied too heavy.
