Meguiar’s supplied me with their signature purple Endurance Tire Gel for this review. This tire gel is a solvent-based tire dressing that offers medium gloss, however it can be applied in multiple coats if you desire a high-gloss shine. After using this product on several vehicles, I can attest to the many rave reviews touting its performance and value. The tire gel offers UV protection for about 2-3 weeks, which is pretty typical. It also doesn’t appear to sling off the tires when applied properly. The price is right at about $12-$13 at the time of this review.
Tires can essentially be washed at the same time as the wheels, and dressing the tires involves applying a tire dressing to the surface at the end of your car detail. This tire dressing can vary in sheen, catering to your preference of gloss, satin, or matte. This guide goes over tire blooming, water-based v. solvent-based dressings, tire sling off, and how to properly clean and dress your tires.
