Ive found tyre gel works really well.

Just make sure you give them a good clean with APC first, then apply, let it dry, buff off and apply a 2nd layer :)

Gummi pflege rubber care stick is supposed to be fantastic for such things.

Will be a purchase of mines on the next detail shopping spree ;)

Problem is Swissvax is usually an absolute fortune and can't help but feel it is way overpriced, you are paying for the branding and nothing more in my opinion...

And in my opinion you get quality stuff that does everything it says on the tin and often a little bit more..  Of course they haves ome ridicilously priced high re, end waxes, but the "normal" stuff is great. I use their leather care, plastic care, seal feed, tyre dressing, paint cleaner/pre wax and the scuderia wax.   8)

What is the tyre dressing like by swissvax?  Admittedly I have only seen prices on there waxes in excess of 100+. Havent seen any of there other non wax products but the reviews on there waxes that I have read have mainly agreed that for the price the wax is nothing special and even out performed in both looks and durability by sub £100 wax's. As I am on the market for a proper good tyre dressing and buying various samples to try would be good to get your opinion on the tyre dressing as long as it is reasonably priced!  ;)
