i have the meguires endurance tire gel...dunno if its the same thing. The tire gel cakes on what appears to be purple sperm. I prefer zaino tire cleaner & gloss. it gets the tire clean and puts a nice subtle shine on it. You'll need a little elbow grease to get the extra gunk off, but its good stuff.

i have it isnt bad, just make sure you give it a while to dry, so it wont splatter, it last for about 1.5 to 2 weeks, looks goof and is good for the price

to get the extra dirt and shit off the tire use a brillo or sos pad on the tire it works great and gets the tire real clean

I wish i could send you what I use. Its industrial silicone its as thick as cum and when it goes on you can see your reflection in the sidewall. I put it on with a sponge. I think you can see it in my www close up on the wheel.

i'd stay away form liquid tire dresings, gel is thicker so it wont splatter on to your fenders...

This stuff doesn't splatter at all. It only sticks to the rubber. But it will stain your driveway so becareful.

I took (and combined) the advice of some people here on the board and autopia.org. I use 303 on a sponge to clean/prep the wheel... work it in then clean off excess. After I use Stoners More Shine Less Time... wait a few minutes then clean off excess. I really like the aerosol can products over gel+applicator or the squeeze spray bottles.

Gels are my definition of insanity.. no matter how many times you rub it, it won't sit down right. I tried toothbrushes to go over the tire lettering and everything. Gels probably last longer when there's water on the road but no way am I putting myself through that again. When I did use the gel I used a sponge. Spray tire products for sure stain the pavement, my neighbours are used to this sort of thing from me by now though.

I got this eagle one tire dressing yesterday. It comes in a bottle with a sponge thing attached to the end of the bottle, so supposedly you never have to touch anything.

Too bad the bottle is the biggest pos ever and all the gel squirts out from base of the sponge. By the time I finished 4 tires I had lost half the bottle on the ground, and it was literally dripping off of my hand. Horrible stuff.
