Just cleaned all my wheels, sorry detailed and staggered at how the Werkstat Acrylic Jett made the flakes appear, the photo doesn't do them justice, jpeg compression loses detail.

That's the stuff I used, found it lasted until the tyre got wet, unless you put it on a well scrubbed tyre, nice and thin or it slung it's self over the bodywork |

Meguiars Endurance Tyre Dressing Gel but its a case of less is more, do not be tempted to apply loads (like i did first time round) as Nick says it splatters everywhere. I go round each tyre with an old cloth, after its been on a while, this helps remove any excess and dulls the shine a little |

Got some Wynns tyre shine, a spray on foam, easy to use, we will see how it fairs, it was £3.50 so not a fortune.

Blurring the background afterwards does that, looks good from high buildings, bridges etc |
