Meguiars Endurance Gel...Miserable Product
I got a bottle of Meguairs Endurance Gel at a Barrett Jackson auction a few years ago and the guy at the Meguairs booth talked about the product like it was the best thing on earth. I tried it 4 years ago and I only used it once. Now I remember why it has been sitting on my shelf. I recently applied it to my rental truck and it has lasted a good 2 weeks. I cleaned the tires very thoroughly before I applied the product and the tires still looked good after a few weeks. This week I drove the truck through torrential rains and today I had a chance to finally wash the vehicle. There was a stream of brown, gritty, sticky crap along the bottom of the truck on both sides. Now I remember why I didn't use that product. The Endurance gel washed off of the tires and deposited itself on the lower panels of the truck. It also picked up all of the crap from the road. It didn't wash off with normal soap and wash mitt. Tarminator and a bug sponge were able to melt that crap off of the surface.
The Endurance Gel went in the garbage.
I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

I totally agree that it's garbage. It's such a messy product among other things. I ditched it years and years ago and never looked back
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

I gave a bottle away. I too liked how it looked when I put it on but did not like how it was after rain, snow, etc.

I still have the left over portion of a once used bottle... I have no idea why I haven't thrown it away yet.

Maybe like a fine wine, it needs to age.

Never had that happen, but mine ended up in the trash as well.
I hate tire shine in general. I've ruined a few pairs of pants because nothing we had at the shop would fully remove all of it. I use Optimum Power Clean to remove it at home.
Meguiar's M40, and Optimum Opri-Bond work much better for me. I've also had good luck with the Optimum Tire Coating too, which is great because again, I hate tire shine.

That'll teach you about straying from DG 253, UD.........
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Yeah Paul, finally got to use DG253 on my Michelins Pilot Sport 4S as Tuff Shine just didn't do well. This is my new tire dressing that at least lasts a few weeks.
