supersaiyan23's Full Review: Meguiars G 7410 Endurance Tire Protectant Gel with...
I recently picked up a bottle of Meguiars Endurance Tire Protectant gel at Pepboys while on a parts run. It was on sale for $6.99 so I decided to give it a try. Prior to using this product I used Black Magic tire spray which did a decent job, but did not seem to last more than a couple of days, especially if it rained.
Endurance comes in a 16 oz. bottle and is a purple gel. It is very easy to apply with either a microfiber cloth or a foam applicator pad. I suggest the later and will follow up on this in a minute. Normally you can find some decent quality disposable foam applicator pads at your local autoparts store and these will do a great job applying this gel. The main reason I use the disposable pads is because no matter how well you clean off your tires when washing the car, the gel will still pull up some black residue and road grime when you are applying it and will just about ruin any micofiber. It will get on the pads also, but you can just throw them out when you are done shining up your tires. I also tried a microfiber once and when I went to wash it with my other car care towels, it left a nasty black ring inside my washing machine.
The gel goes on really easily and dries in about 10 minutes. The shine is brilliant and you can actually buff it down a bit if it is too much for you. For an even better shine, you can apply a 2nd coat after the 1st dries and your tires will look amazing and brand new! The nice thing about the gel is that it dries really well so there is less risk of product spin off if you go out for a drive after cleaning your tires. Sprays and other products and "spin-off" if you drive your car after cleaning which causes left over product residue to get onto the side panels of your car. This is not normally a huge deal, but sometimes it can damage the paint of your car. It can also stain your driveway, something that the Meguiar's Gel specifically claims it will not do. I can attest to that as I have used this 3 times in my driveway already and do not have the white stains you can see when the concrete gets wet that other tire sprays and products can leave behind.
Overall I am very pleased with Endurance Tire Gel. It lasts a fairly long time. I normally use it every time I wash my car which can range from once a week to once a month. Even when I don't get to wash the car for 2-3 weeks the tires still look great and the gel seems to keep them shining even after driving in the rain. Most sprays and other products will wash off after 2-3 days or in a shorter period of time if you drive in the rain or snow. The Endurance Gel by Meguiar's is a bit more expensive than other tire care products, but it is well worth the few extra dollars!
