It usually comes in 5l containers Jed but you can get smaller bottles on ebay so you can try it first to to see if you like it

Yeah mega endurance is brilliant too! More of a matt finish compared to the shiny highstyle. It's all in how you apply it though.

You can ring your local Autosmart rep up and get some that way.

Autoglym tyre shine, decant into small jam jar, use paint brush.

Doesn't last as long as men's tyre gel, but it's half the price and doesn't look as cartoony as the finish with Megs.

A new one which is good is Auto Finesse 'Gloss' you can spray it onto the tyre and spread with an applicator or you can spray it on to an applicator and put it on.
Very good stuff, isn't as shiny as megs endurance.
But as with any tyre dressing, you need to make sure the tyres are clean, otherwise the dressing wont bond.
Use a good degreaser/wheel cleaner on them and give them a good scrub and make sure they are dry before applying!

I use the Megs one, it's pretty good but their applicator is shocking. Much better off getting the curved foam applicators from Elite Car Care - you get two for £2.50 and it's easier to reach the bottom of the tyres, instead of scraping the floor like with the Megs one.

Those megs aplicators really are crap arent they Dave! I binned mine after doing one tyre lol. The foam that rock hard you can get it to go on evenly.

I like to using a detailing brush to put mine on

I use this stuff in a spray tin, from the £ shop. Amazin stuff so it is, super glossy, and lasts a good while.

Just spray it on, then buff it in.

Megs endurance tyre gel for me, lasts ages.
Used to use auto glym and find this much better
And for the applicator I just turn it round to reach the bottom bit (rather than use it horizontally)
