Lufu 1st Gear June 25, 2004 Share June 25, 2004 notice most 2nd hand car dealer shop as well as new cars out from showroom, they apply some kind of oil onto the tyre to make it look black and sleak. On touching it, it feels like some oil apply onto the surface. Anyone knows what kind of cheap solution is that ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear June 25, 2004 Share June 25, 2004 Basically a silicon oil that coats the tires and when dried gives this shiny sheen on it. You can buy these stuff from hardware shops like Home Fix DIY. MCFers use Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel or Formula 1 Black Gold. Black Gold is cheaper and easier to use. Just spray on. Endurance must use an applicator and excess must be removed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic June 25, 2004 Share June 25, 2004 Get the Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel, purple in colour. It's really long lasting, there's no overspray (but need to use a sponge to apply it onto the tires) and it smells good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear June 25, 2004 Share June 25, 2004 Both Black Gold and Endurance can last to 1mth. I found that Black Gold can be applied by spraying on cloth and then wiping over. Like that less waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protege 1st Gear June 26, 2004 Share June 26, 2004 Brother, your bottle that you have so big. I think 1 year also cannot finish ah. For me, I am using the Meguiar one also. Very good. Lasting also. I have used it for more than 1 year already for 1 bottle. I use everytime I wash the car. (You know how many times I do it.) Dun need to use to much. Shine very lasting even after rain!! So when free to meetup for W&W? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
