Tyre Dressing Comparison | Meguiar's Endurance, Gtechniq, Garage Therapy and Car Chem

[@Fantic1980]

I've tried just about every tyre dressing out there but for me, Perl 1:1 is just on another level.

[@26DX047]

Perl also here.

[@Swans_And_Ducks]

Until it sees a drop of rain.

[@Amor1990]

Too matte for me

[@subarubrat]

Great video and review.👍 I have been using the Meguiar's for years and I am still very happy with it.👍

[@marcjarvis3975]

I started off with Endurance and liked it until i discovered Perl. That was my go to until Serum came along. As you said, get a decent base layer down and keep it topped up - it looks fantastic and the tyres look brand new. Those bridgestones in the video seem to dress really nicely (my wide has them on her car) and definitely benefit from the serum

[@Ludo_A]

Exactely the same here. First Enduance (it stays wet and never dries completely), then Perl 1:1 (still like the Perl) and then GT.

[@marktrower2267]

Great video Heather keep them coming please 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much Mark!

[@Tim955w]

Hi Heather, just wanted to say happy christmas and thanks for all the great content you put out, the fact that you put all this effort in and reply with some very helpful comments is really appreciated. Best wishes.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much Tim I really appreciate that. Merry Christmas to you too!

[@kuba7875]

I've tried so many tyre dressings and for me carpro perl is absolutely the best 👌 My next favourite is Gyeon tyre express and Yum dress v2

[@Jamingedling]

Great video Heather! I don't think you can go wrong with any GT product 👍

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Jamie! I'm yet to try a GT product that's let me down!

[@TheAgwarn]

Great video! I’ve never found a better tyre dressing than Autoglym tyre dressing. Great price, not too shiny and lasts for ages

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! That looks like a good one, the sprayable ones are really nice to apply

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Heather,I've used Megs Endurance Gel for a while now and found it brilliant to use,I will have give the GT tyre one a go.the Auto Finesse is another one to try.

[@Audittr2108]

I’ve used GT Tyre Serum for nearly 12 months and the standout thing about it for me is the ease of use week after week. The tyres stay cleaner so I no longer have to scrub the tyres with a stiff brush and APC which isn’t good for a tyre. I just give a quick wipe with the wheel mitt and wheel shampoo while I clean the wheels. Loads of dressings look great on application so it’s the user experience of Tyre Serum that does it for me.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Completely agree, I think it’d be hard to move away from it now!

[@philbloomer1]

Super video Heather, liked the GT tyreserum and Gtechniq T1, currently using either Infinity wax tyre coat v2 or ODK attire. The tyre coat is sio2 based with a water carrier system and tends to leave a semi gloss finish that lasts a couple of weeks but happy enough to apply it again. ODK attire is similar to Gtechniq T1 and lasts a fair while too. Great info imparted from this video mo doubt, lovig you work and lok forward to more in depth reviews.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much Phil! I've just bought a sample of IW tyre coat so I'm looking forward to trying that one. I'm a bit gutted I've pretty much run out of Gtechniq T1, that was my go-to for the first year of owning my car. Works really well on trim too. I'm tempted to pick up another bottle but Stjarnagloss Gummi, looks like a good one to try next

[@shinychariotdetailing9707]

Brilliant review Heather and fair testing I used the GT Tyre Serum myself i like how it looks when on and the tyres are not that hard to clean after it. I also have used Autoglym tyre gel it isnt to bad as well.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much! The look of the GT Tyre Serum is spot on for me, I know some prefer the glossier look though I think it depends a lot on the tyre design as well though sometimes

[@1881Gordon]

Another great comparison video. I've tied Megs Endurance, but found it to be way to glossy for my linking, also Car Pro Perl as favoured by quite a few people below. It didn't last at all, but TBH my prep may not have been as good as it could've been. I'm about to try GT Tyre serum which I'm highly anticipating. Keep up the good work, loving it

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much for watching! GT Tyre Serum is great stuff, it gets even better with every application

[@dave2166]

I gave up on any product which disappeared at the first sign of rain.... tried quite a few but I'm on the GT tyre serum now as it's longevity for me is the winner. Plus when you've put 2 layers on and keep applying over the weeks I've found the tyre serum just gets better and better.....it takes a real battering with hundreds of miles of motorway miles between wash downs. I would also say its application with the Carscope brush is more consistent and a damn sight easier too.... BTW....I'm going to try the Carscope tyre dressing soon too....

[@AutoCareHQ]

I'm quite tempted to get that Carscope tyre brush, looks like it'd be very useful. I'm a fan of the finish of their tyre dressing so I'd be interested to here your thoughts on it once you've tried it!

[@dave2166]

@@AutoCareHQ it's a dinky brush but the bristle are so tight that nothing dribbles into them when you apply dressing on top.. But the bristles are great for getting into the raised mouldings and for right up against the rim protector ring too....

[@johanhasselt1148]

Great video! I like too use Wolfgang black diamond tire gel, the smell is great too, kokos. And pearl is also good 👍🏻

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Johan! I don't hear too much about Wolfgang products but they look quite interesting!

[@imatekjam2005]

Have moved from Megs Endurance Gel to CarPro Perl. Another one you might like to try is 'Tyre Slik' - it is stupid cheap and I really think it works very well for the price, 15 quid for 5L in Halfords! Dont be tempted by the spray can version, it works a million times better when brushed on. Another great video!

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! I’ll have a look at that one, can’t argue with that price!

[@therushden]

Great video. I'm currently using Car Chem tyre and trim. Less glossy than the dressing. It's good stuff.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! I reckon I'd prefer the finish of that one over the tyre gel to be honest, plus the spray application method is a lot easier I think

[@Rob_Gilbert]

Great video Heather. I’ve used Endurance previously I felt it was too glossy for my liking. I’m currently using Gtechniq which is decent but waiting to buy some GT Serum although everyone seems out of stock at the moment

[@WeAreMemories]

Summer/dry weather I use CarPro Perl, and in winter it’s Autobrite Well Dressed (trim & tyre) which is similar to the Meg’s. I find it creates a good barrier to the mucky Devon lanes in winter.

[@FleetAdmiral215]

I've used Maguires 'Endurance for a few years now & it's been great last a long time too, Love GTechniq products, surprised Bilt Hamber haven't brought out a Tyre dressing ?

[@dsvillalva]

Interesting video. I’ve seen some detailers go beyond cleaning the rubber and before application you heat up the tires with a hair dryer to open up the rubber a bit for the dressing to stick. And yes over here across the pond we say tire not tyre! 😉

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching :) that's a cool idea, I find dressings definitely a lot easier to apply in summer so I can see the logic!

[@philhulkes8659]

I've moved from garage therapy to yum dress v2, very impressive product

[@RoadToDetailing]

Great video Heather! For my taste, the Megs Endurance Gel looks the greatest out of the bunch. I used CarPro Perl 1:1 in most cases, and that does reasonably well, but I tried Autoglym High Performance Tire Gel a few months ago, that is very similar to Megs Endurance Gel. Since than, that is my go to tyre dressing. I don't like the application (very messy), but the water behaviour is very very good, durability is alright and it has a nice glossier finish which I prefer. Great job with the content, as always 🙌

[@AutoCareHQ]

Cheers Viktor! CarPro Perl looks like a very popular one, I'll have to give it a go at some point. The Autoglym one looks good too, not too expensive either!

[@APASSIONFORDETAILING]

Great video again I like car pro Pearl as a tyre dressing

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks! It looks like good one, I've been tempted to pick it up a few times so I'll have to try it at some point

[@APASSIONFORDETAILING]

@@AutoCareHQ it's great it's so universal for all sort of applications not just tyres

[@vergo8]

Was really surprised how well the car-chem one looked after the tests, currently I'm using aenso orbit but i have a bottle of yumcars dress v2 which I'm really looking forward to try ,read and seen alot of good reviews about it

[@AutoCareHQ]

The car chem one is decent if you're after something reasonably glossy, I personally like my tyres to have a satin finish though which is why I don't use it so much any more. The aenso and yumcars ones look really good!

[@eddiel7033]

Don't know if you can get it where you are, but Lone Star Tire Coating is the best I've ever tried. Looks great and literally lasts months, even using harsh wheel cleaners on it. My next favorite is Gyeon Q2 Tire.

[@AutoCareHQ]

That sounds fab I’ll keep an eye out for it! Gyeon Q2 looks really good

[@YA-ee9zf]

have you tried cooking oil as a tyre dressing it works well especially linseed oil .

[@AutoCareHQ]

I've not tried that before!

[@CardosCarDose]

Nice video champ! Im more of a matte tire kinda guy, or just barely satin, mostly for vehicles with a lot of angular design, sports cars, or trucks which adds that stealthy look to it. I feel glossy is nice for some vehicles, but kinda gives it a cheap or toy car look, not all, but some vehicles that dont have a lot of exterior design to it. Overall, nice review ma dude! Keep up the work! ;)

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much! I'm definitely more of a fan of the satin finish, just a light sheen to make them look dressed but nothing too distracting is what I like on my car!

[@jorgeaceves2068]

Hi heather I hope you are well do you know how can clean tire dressing sponge or I have to take away every time I used thanks.

[@MJMDetailingDiaries]

Nice comparison Heather, only one I have used is Megs, I find it super greasy and a bit messy, but the finish is very reasonable. Enjoyed seeing the results, wonder how Stjarnagloss Gummi and Duel Profile would compare.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Cheers Mat! I've been dead tempted to try Gummi, I reckon it'll be the next one I get

[@MJMDetailingDiaries]

@@AutoCareHQ I'm always tempted.... But I purchased 15 samples from CYR of different ones. I'm starting to enjoy the water based ones more. Maybe I need to do a video of them 😜

[@AutoCareHQ]

You definitely should! Although I reckon all 15 would be a bit of a nightmare 😂

[@MJMDetailingDiaries]

@@AutoCareHQ I'll need diagrams of where I put them 🤣

[@johnbrown3951]

The GT Serum is what I use at present but I have a full bottle of Auto Finesse that I have used once that I liked but cannot comment on longevity of performance.

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Great job

[@tmphotography8443]

Im using the Autobrite Tyre Dressing and given its applied once every few weeks the tyres seem to stay darker longer . Does the same on the Vauxhall and more rare that gets the love the others do so maybe every 4 to 5 weeks . Bit more of a glossy look than many of these you tried

[@justinmilsom7990]

Great vid, have you tried Stjarnagloss Gummie ? Great on tyres.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much :) I've not tried that yet but I'm so tempted. The finish is spot on for me, I can imagine it being a nice one to apply as well

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

I use car pro perl or infity wax. Would of been good to see how those compared with your selection. Another good comparison video heather.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching :) I've just got infinity wax tyre coat so I'm looking forward to trying that!

[@jamietaylor3075]

Have you tried the rubber and plastic wax by infinity wax?

[@Mas-lx5nc]

Hi Heather, have you ever tried Koch Chemie Plas Star on tyres? Been using for a while now and seems to be amazing stuff

[@AutoCareHQ]

I’ve not tried that one, I’ll give it a look cheers!

[@Ludo_A]

@@AutoCareHQ The popular Belgium detailer (on youtube) Vermijl Cardetail often uses Koch Chemie PSS (the silicone free version) on tires.

[@triggerhappyautos]

Interesting video. Tyre dressings are annoying! I haven't used anything that has taken my breath away. I hate blingy, glossy dressings and sticky gel type dressings also so I'm a bit fussy. I use auto finesse satin as the finish is lovely, and easy to work with and a creme type substance. And I got an infinity wax product called tyre candy which is similar. But neither last well. I'm going to try perl next. The megs seemed to work nicely on your test but too glossy for me 😂

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching :) Yeah the megs one is a bit too glossy for me as well, I'm a fan of the GT tyre serum's finish for that satin look. I've just picked up Infinity Wax Tyre Coat so it'll be interesting to see what that's like

[@nickbonham1262]

Car pro Pearl is the one I go for at the moment

[@SilverTrill]

I've been using car Pro perl for past few years would of been nice to see it in this comparison as I haven't come across anything better than it

[@AutoCareHQ]

I've been tempted to try that one, it seems quite popular. Do you use it diluted or neat?

[@SilverTrill]

@@AutoCareHQ I use mine neat on tyres and under the bonnet and don't really need to much product I still have my first bottle and only gone down 1/4 😅 never tried it diluted I'm lazy like that but yea you can do ,only negative I have with it is tge spray bottle wish it was more of a pump bottle as mostly you would need to apply it with sponge or Microfibre,

[@Comisionado]

Thank you

[@SUPERSID1968]

No car pro perl Heather ?

[@AutoCareHQ]

I've never actually tried it before

[@matthewwebb8206]

Car chem all day looked better of the bunch. How do these compare from a coat only perspective? Good impartial video as ever!

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Matthew! I think they'd be fairly similar to be honest. I've used the megs, gtechniq and car chem ones for at least a few months each on my own car and I only used to go with a single layer and saw pretty similar durability. With the GT tyre serum I think the second layer helps to build a base up of the product though so I go with two layers when it's first applied to a tyre and then just a single layer whenever I top it up

[@umutgunay7609]

gtechniq number one

[@gillywash1487]

Tyre Serum is definitely a winner for long term use on your own car the performance and look gets better every application. I like GO Show Tyres as my gel type one for a flashier look that lasts well over a few weeks similar to car Chem gel by the looks of it. And have just started using ADBL one too that is a very durable gel with si02 and a randomly a cookie scent which is odd but nice if you like to sniff your tyres 😂

[@AutoCareHQ]

The Go detailing one looks really good, sometimes I prefer the glossier look on some tyres so it's good to have a selection! Haha that sounds dead nice to be fair, it's definitely a bit different!

[@p8rdm]

Gyeon tyre is certainly not a bad one

[@ims7568]

No perl and koch chemie pss no like
