Argh. Get rid of the armourall.

If you want ease use meguires hotstuff spray. Lasts a little while. (2-4 weeks)
If you want to use one with am applicator use megs natural shine. 2-3 generous coats will last up to 2 months.

I swear by the Valvoline-branded tyre spray. Cost you about $8 from Supercheap and is JUST AS GOOD as Meguiar's (I've used both).

Is that the one that smells like Citrus ?

.. hahah i tried them all and went back to armourall :)

Some of the others seemed more prone to waterspotting/dew and (the slimey ones) picked up more dust, and were harder to retreat without streaking.

Personal preference though, i do the tyres once a week regardless.

Yeah, smells like Citrus!

But aroma-wise, it's no match for the Meguiars one, which smells like vanilla.

I'll go for an unusual one - KITTEN

Seems to last the longest of all the ones I've tried

I used to use the Valvoline one years ago. It was a good tyre shine that lasted for a good while back then.

Must say I was surprised at the results of the kitten tyre shine. Don't normally use it, just found it in the girlfriend's old man's garage the other day and thought i'd give it a try, and it's pretty bloody good.

Poor Boys Tyre Shine. Very Good but takes a while to apply and dry.

I find silicone spray does the job quite nicely!
