Meguiar's Endurance not holding up?

[Don M]

I have recently been using Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel on my tires and applying it with a 2" paint brush, you can't say I'm putting it on too thin, but I do brush it around, so it's not too thick either.

During dry periods, it holds up great. Even after washing (rinsing and wiping, no soaps) it looks OK, BUT - after even a short drive in the rain, ALL the Gel seems to have washed off and the tires are now brown and discolored. They look like tires that have been neglected - never cleaned or dressed. Using a car wash soap on them does nothing and using a wheel/tire cleaner strips whatever (if any) protection that is left on them completely off and I have to start from scratch.

I DO want to switch over to McKee's, but until then, does anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like maybe it's time to move up to more longer lasting solution. Gtechniq T1 tire would yield the results you want without going to a permeant tire coating. I have used this product and it is among the best. It will last thru several washes/rain storms. And just clean with soap and water to bring back the look.
