this is y i do NOT use the High Gloss...i use the regular Endurance as u prob saw in the "good routine" pics simply b/c it's thicker and doesn't fly off the tire when in motion like the high gloss does...also, b careful how much u put on...u'd b surprised how a little of this stuff can go a long way

I use the Meguiar's High Gloss and it works great. I usually put it on but I don't drive my car until a couple hours later. Never had a problem with it slipping off and splattering on the paint while driving, but maybe I never really notices. Will check the next time I use it. Also, I only put a little bit on and spread it around like mad.

u used both but the meguiars is so gooey and takes a while to dry while the zaino's is quick but you have to put second layer for the shine. zaino's consistency is that of milk, and looks like it too but i like it better only because IMHO its not as messy.

+'s
Way less greasy, nothing sticks to the tires. Lasts a pretty long time.

-'s
Expensive
Hard to get if you live outside Jersey (mostly mailorder)

Endurance causes road dirt to stick to the tires and makes them look nasty.

I’m a ZAINO nut but I hate their “tire conditioner”.
The SHIT is too runny. It’s worse then using Armor All.
It’s like trying to put SKIM MILK on your tires.
It runs all over the wheels and your hand.
If you can get it to stick I guess it works OK, but I prefer the “Meguires Endurance High gloss” stuff.
My tires don’t have much of the sidewall to begin with so I don’t have a problem with “flinging”.
As long as it’s applied THIN it works great.

Never had that problem. I love the fact that a little goes a long way. And it dries very quickly.

I use the tire dressing from Griots Garage. Durability is amazing and the shit doesn't fly off the tires.
