For that extra level of wet look tyre shine wait for the first application to fully dry then repeat application as first directed. Shake the bottle well. Spray onto tyre walls at least 6-8 inches from the surface. Use slow, steady pulls on the trigger as you work around the tyre. Allow to dry naturally This is silicon-based product that you spray on and leave to cure. It leaves a really high shine on tyres and also did a fine job of restoring depth of colour to our faded plastic trim. It lasted best of all of our products, although we wouldn’t say that it lived up to the claims of it providing eight to 12 weeks of shine. Even so, it’s excellent stuff if a bit expensive.

This silicone-based tyre shine leaves a wet-look gloss that lasted a good few days, if not as long as some of our others. It’s of the ‘spray and leave’ school of application but doesn’t drip as much as some others and is easy to apply neatly. It did a good job of restoring the depth of colour to some faded trim when we applied it using a microfibre, too. Good all-rounder, but not the best value option. It has its place, without doubt, but there are better products for use on your plastics and trims for very little more money. Longevity – 1 Week & 250 miles Another aerosol, and the chain store’s product is from the same mould as the top two. Spray and leave, and it gives a slightly more muted finish than glossy Tyre Slik. It was still visible at the end of the test, too, if a little greyer than the CarPlan and Simoniz.Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide. This did a brilliant job of rejuvenating our faded trim, plus the foam and sponge applicator is ideal for getting into awkward nooks around the wing mirrors or bumpers. You can layer a couple of coats onto tyres for extra shine, or it brings a more understated, clean-looking finish with a single application. It lasted well, too. The trim faded a little after a few days and needed another application, but it still bettered any others, and the tyres looked fresh for a couple of weeks and more. On balance of cost, and especially with the applicator included, this is a great product and a good price. Keeping your car exterior clean is a great way to take care of the aesthetic of your car as well as its longevity. Follow our step by step guide. Clean tyres stay shiny for longer.
