I would personally buy a new set, will transform the look and feel on road.

Learn something every day, do you need to ring it out and will it dry the car in one go?
-
Said it moons ago, Autoglym and Turtlewax have R&D budget some enthusiast brands could only dream off. Could overnight choose to pump millions into a new product line, producing great items and in recent years it would appear this has took place. I've had Gtechniq products and while ok, definitely wouldn't buy again. You can't be a brand snob and be a Zed owner

Really don't even know

Tried it on the Sunny before the Zed and I'm chuffed with it so far, will be scrubbing out the Michelins ready for this the next time round. Some get on well with it, others don't in terms of durability. Again might be applying over a water based or silicon style dressing.

In sure do, get it on and get it off affair!!! Pretty much like any consumer wax or sealant I really don't believe there is a Best product. Alot of it is down to personal preference, or easy of purchase, style of application, product look once applied. Like I never got the whole 12 months sealant gig, I enjoy cleaning and protecting my car with a 4-6 months arguably better (subjective) warmer looking paste wax/sealant. Like tyre dressing, how often do we wash our cars?..... Hardly feels a hardship to then dress the tyres ever other wash to keep them topped up. Glass coatings, yeah go long. Wheel coatings, again yeah go long. The rest I enjoy attending too.

Very even finish which I understand aids with longevity, just like any coating. Yeah I'd imagine that if you ran a clean mf over the sidewalls a while application, you would change the look of needed. I've gone for Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner, which is a fallout remover too.

Amazing work pal, that lovely new pedal needs scuffing up
-
Not runny like a liquid, nor like a gel more like squeezable honey. Meguiar's i felt I needed to shake the bottle up more to help even out application, even though it was well shook.

Not much online about Autoglym's new offering - High Performance Tyre Gel *went to town on that name. But il judge product itself, not the name. Thought I'd give it ago and add it to my inventory. First impressions are it's very nice and easy to use, more of a syrup than a gel. Once applied to the tyre it levels out really well, normally I'd always have to revisit to level off however didn't feel the need at all. Went on evenly and without fuss, and even smells nice. It's sort of how I always wanted Meguiar's Endurance Tyre Gel to be, loosing it's sticky feel it would leave behind. I left them with a gloss look, as I like my tyres to look dressed rather than not. Wheels and tyres were cleaned the day before with Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner/ fallout remover and Bilt Hamber Autofoam 5.1 for the sidewalls. Next measure will be how well it holds up to semi daily use. Then to check if the product gives off that browning, commonly seen with gels. *the bottle far left is Autobrite Tyre Gloss

How else do folks get to work in the capital?....... Im sure those that can drive have done do, requiring parking once at work *rare. Ride, providing the distance is reasonable again with safe storage during the day. Walk, of course again if the distance is reasonable. Taxi option, will get expensive as the days/weeks go on. I understand bashing the problem, however not when the solution isnt forthcoming.

Stuck the battery on charge last night ready for the morning, out the door at 5:40am for a nice long drive - #bliss

^ have you looked at the back of your shirt?

Tempted to do this with my Ryobi leaf blower (rated to 245km/h) but by the time I've dragged the pressure washer out, I might as well get the mitts out
-
About right for circa 8,000 miles I'd say
-
Looking great still, are you open hose rinsing?
-
Nice one for the reply, looking forward to having a play hopefully soon.
-
Just received a Korean Twisted Microfiber drying towel and I'm eager to try it out, but the car's pretty clean. Has anyone got one as I'm interested if you found it more of a pat dry or place and drag towel? Also a general question regarding aftercare, do you tend to hand or machine wash? Air or tumble dry? as I'm keen to avoid it becoming a lint monster.

Proper roof down weather of late

Next day option (if ticked) I believe is available for order over £15, understandably no guarantees mind.
