Autoglym High Performance Tyre Gel, 500ml - High Performance Custom Car Wheel Cleaner and Gel For the Ultimate Gloss or Satin Finish

Product Information

To rate the tyre shine formulas within our roundup, we based our recommendations on testing, our experience of using multiple formulas, the latest research and several factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included the formula’s finish, ease of application, durability and value for money.

This is another great water-based tyre dressing. Even old tyres look really clean and smart after one round of this, and it comes with a nifty applicator to make it easier to apply to awkward areas. It’s safe for any plastics, but it didn’t have quite the transformative effect on our greying plastics that the Diamond Shine did. Overall, it smells good and is effective on both trim and tyres. At this price, it’s one of the best all-rounders. A: We recommend that freshly-washed tyres are allowed to dry or at least be wiped dry prior to application. This ensures that High Performance Tyre Gel dries evenly and leaves a consistently excellent finish on the tyres. Applying to wet wheels may result in an uneven, patchy finish.

After using an alloy wheel cleaner to remove dirt on the wheels, the tyres will also need attention and this is where a tyre shine becomes very useful. They are available as a spray, gel or aerosol and take just minutes to apply to all four wheels.Keeping your car exterior clean is a great way to take care of the aesthetic of your car as well as its longevity. Follow our step by step guide. On 100 miles a week, I’ve been able to get on average two and a half weeks off of this dressing before I need to reapply it. In that respect, it’s a bit more durable than Instant Tyre Dressing.

Instant Tyre Dressing can be applied to wet or dry rubber This silicone-based tyre shine leaves a wet-look gloss that lasted a good few days, if not as long as some of our others. It’s of the ‘spray and leave’ school of application but doesn’t drip as much as some others and is easy to apply neatly. It did a good job of restoring the depth of colour to some faded trim when we applied it using a microfibre, too. Good all-rounder, but not the best value option.

The fact that Instant Tyre Dressing comes in a spray bottle means that it’s ideal for last minute cleaning sessions This did a brilliant job of rejuvenating our faded trim, plus the foam and sponge applicator is ideal for getting into awkward nooks around the wing mirrors or bumpers. You can layer a couple of coats onto tyres for extra shine, or it brings a more understated, clean-looking finish with a single application. It lasted well, too. The trim faded a little after a few days and needed another application, but it still bettered any others, and the tyres looked fresh for a couple of weeks and more. On balance of cost, and especially with the applicator included, this is a great product and a good price. As a test, I used Custom Wheel Cleaner on the sidewall of the tyre. This only caused a minor level of degradation to the dressing. However, since it does add a large degree of protection to the sidewall of the tyre, and therefore repel dirt, there isn’t as much need to use a dedicated cleaner to clean the sidewalls of the tyre. In fact, even using a normal car shampoo would be enough for it. Value for Money With it being a tad more expensive than Instant Tyre Dressing, the question is, does it still offer good value for money? I would say it does. The fact that it lasts longer, it means you’ll be getting more out of the bottle than you would with other products. The durability is always a tough one to assess. It’s based on the how many miles are driven in a week, the conditions that the car is driven in, as well as what products are used to clean the tyres.product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->
