So whats your favourite tyre treatment / dressing?

Ive used both Autoglym and Meguiars in the past but not really happy as they dont seem to last too long, esp in wet weather.

Any recommendations?

I always use autoglym vinyl and rubber care.  I found it to be better than their tyre dressing.  I just spray it on a wet tyre and leave it and it gives just the right finish, but builds up over time so l find it lasts.  Then again i do clean my car a lot.

Are you cleaning your tyres thoroughly? I've found AG stuff to last quite a while. I don't spray it straight onto the tyre either, I spray it onto a foam applicator and work it in a bit. Yet to try the Meg's stuff though!

Glycol ethilene coolant, if you want a matt finish, is your best bet :P

If you want something durable, you can try some of those interior spray wax, i get from a local store cheap and tyres stay dressed for very long time.

I use autoglym stuff, it lasts between weekly washes if it's dry, not so much if it's wet but when it's wet you can't tell if it's there or not anyway :P
