Been using megs tyre product,but both my previous cars were black,so I didnt notice the fling,now I have a silver car & no matter how sparingly I apply it I still get black spots on the arches after the first few drives.
So what do you guys recomend?
Also while im here,whats the best prouct for restoring exterior black trim.
 
I used Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel, the bottle is going to last for years I suspect because the first application has lasted for weeks, and still good. No fling that I can see, and also good for other exterior plastics.

I use Meg's, I tend to allow it to dry off for a bit then wipe off any excess with a cloth, not had a problem so far

Love that two tone black and red interior :thumbsup:
 
You need to allow the meguiars gel to dry properly, I suggest a few hours.

I get the same, but only because i'm impatient and like driving around in a clean car.
 
Will try & leave it overnight or longer then,im like you Ben,must go for a drive once the car is clean & looking good,even if it is just a quick one along the beach.

I use AG Tyre Shine, leave it for a while and it lasts a good few days......

Same as Stark above, although on older tyres! Once dry, it hasn't transferred to the bodywork as yet.
 
Not a fan of gels or any wipe on type shines.

Tescos non foam aerosol tyre shine does the job for 2 quid for a large can.

+1 — if I didn't know better I'd say that photo has been shopped. Gorgeous :thumbsup:
 
Thankyou, I do love these rims on the Z3, bargain at 400 quid new,



As opposed the ACS rims which were 2K :o Zed never really drove as nice on these,

This has always been a big frustration for me as I love tyre dressing because I think it finishes a car off so well in terms of presentation but I haven't experienced one that doesn't either spread all over the bodywork as soon as you drive off or turns the wheels black after a few days, I would have thought someone would have come up with a product that doesn't have these flaws by now.

If someone knows of a product that hits the spot I would love to know :thumbsup:
