Clean tyres stay shiny for longer. Turtle Wax recommends cleaning the entire wheel and tyre using it's RedLine Wheel Cleaner. Ensure that the tyre and wheel is completely dry before moving to the next step Well, it doesn’t smell of anything at all. It’s neutral, so if you like that sort of thing, you will like this. 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 A week under snow did last year’s winner no favours. It’s still a great protectant, lasting right to the end, and you can apply the gel accurately and with minimal waste – although this can take longer than the sprays. Verdict You could reduce this again by applying just a single coat. Aesthetically I don’t think the product changes much from coat one to coat two, but I think you will see a difference in terms of longevity, which is why I recommend two coats. If you wash your vehicle once a week or more, you could get away with one coat. Tyre Sling

Find the right bumper and trim treatment and you’ll get long-lasting protection. At the end of our six-week polish and wax test, many products were barely working, but most of our bumper shines were still doing the job. 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. div>
