For years I have been a spray for tire maintenance and luster used ... it shone beautifully, was easy and fast to use, but unfortunately the spell was always gone back after a few days. So when the last box which was all I wanted to 'try something else and see if Meguiars up to its reputation and delivers what it promises, namely: "amazing shine That lasts for weeks !!" So this Zeux ordered here. The liquid - more like a liquid gel - is transpartent and slightly violet. Meguiars promises that even old, brownish tires are so kohlrabenscharz again. Such I have not, but it of course but I had to try out on the day of delivery. The application is quite simple. Meg. recommends, for applying a sponge (there's an extra as "Tire Dressing Applicator" or even as a set with the gel) to take or cloth. I have it painted with a thin brush to get to the rim as evenly as possible and close. Took about 10 minutes. Then leave the car overnight, to avoid splashing (in particular grooves). All four tires shone immediately in dark gloss, I was it almost a bit too violent shiny! But this gloss effect can be reduced or influence by simply nachwischt with a cloth slightly. Or to increase the gloss makes another complete treatment of the wheels even after 10 minutes. Smeared all four wheels, while relatively little consumed ... the gel seems to be fruitful. OK, now I'm not even so much the tire surface. : O) For three days the case is now that ... and shines ... and shines ... and shines. Tonight it started to rain, this morning then the first rain driving to work. But does not really shine the Abrruch, he seems to "seized" to have. Madness! This investment was definitely worth it.
My car gets just hand wash, so if I was once with the pressure washer off, I will subsequently report nor how it will look like with the gloss.
[Edit 01/05/2010] Today I was Blazed with the pressure washer. The water runs from the tires immediately .... and they still shine ... in the meantime no longer quite so hard, I like so much the better!
[Edit again 09.05.2010] after about 1.5 weeks rainy weather the luster is gone :(
