Default Tire Gel

I've read that Meguiars tire gel works very good. I placed an order online for the gel and a few other items such as paste wax etc. I haven't been able to find the gel in any of the stores.
Anyone here used the gel or found another product that works really well for making the tires shine?
I'm anxious to try this on bandit.

meguires makes great products,the tire gel is nice,if you want a wax that is simply amazing and will not turn any rubber or plastic white is a wax called Ice from turtle wax,It is a clear liquid and comes with the applicator and a micro fiber towel to remove.It gives your car a shine that you can count the hairs on your eyebrows when you look at the car,just amazing!

Cool

I use that Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel if it's nice out and want to spend a little time on my wheels and tires and not do the hurry-up walk-around with the spray stuff.

It's a fine product, but I put a little in one of those Glad disposeable plastic tubs, use a cheap paint brush, pull up the milk crate (yes, it belongs to the local dairy) and brush that stuff on. When I'm done, I put it all in a Ziplock bag for future reference. It's a lot easier and neater than using that messy applicator pad that it comes with...

Thanks for the tip. That's a good one.

Agreed! Meguiars Tire Gel keeps Juggy's wheels rolling 'pimptastic'!

I found some at Big Lots too! Cheapness is muy bueno!
