I have tried many different ones, some being better than others and some more messy than others. Is it possible to get a brush on black like the main car dealers use??

the autoglym stuff is quite good, you just spray it on and leave it

Cheap and very effective option vegetable or sunflower oil, You will be surprised I wipe the tyres with a damp cloth then brush on its long lasting too

When I was a valater for a main dealer we used to buy a product that was wipe on, we used in it trigger bottles.

On monday I bought some stuff called astonish for 99p from wilkinsons, not tried it on the tyres yet but it works well on the other rubber around the car, it's not as good on the black trim on the b post as it left a sticky residue that needed wiping several times to settle down.

I found alot of cheap tyre black products ruin your sponge next time you go to wash the car, so be careful

Nope. Not drunk (as i don't drink). :p
What i meant was that i have sold stuff in my uncles shop and can picture what the product tin looks like, but i can't remember the name that's on the tin. SOmeone wanted some on Sat and he was sold out so i'm still none the wiser.

Search for 'Trye wall black' that should turn up something.

i use stuff called Tyre Dandi, spray on foam and leave to dry. Looks great and lasts for ages, doesn't atract to much brake dust either unlike some other products.

You can get it on ebay....
