downhuman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 So, gave the zed a mini detail yesterday and tried out Meg's Endurance Tyre Gel and Zaino Z8 for the first time (bought recently) Both are WOW - can't believe I've never used them before. Sitting on a layer of Z5 the Z8 looks like another clearcoat - amazing. And the tyre gel is by far the best I've used too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) The tyre gel is awesome. Use it all the time. Lasts longer than others I've used. Edited April 19, 2013 by The Bounty Bar Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dErZ Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) That tyre gel is awesome! easy to apply and looks amazingly shiny. Did you buff it off to leave a matte finish? I too purchased Z8 recently it smells amazing but it didnt seem to make any difference to my paint work?!? I had just DA the car with Colinite wax and apparently the wax is meant to cure for 24 hrs before applying anything ontop.

bronzee Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Gosh, I haven't heard Zaino mentioned for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 +1 for the Z8; seals the bodywork great, but I only use it after a 'proper' clean. Not cheap though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_the_Rave Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Megs tire gel seems to be good at giving a dark black look not so much for the wet look black though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Apply a second coat about 10-15 minutes after the first to get more shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I swear by Z8, makes azure really pop. I use it after every wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_c Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Is the Z8 a wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It's a spray sealant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 <3 the megs tyre gel, smells so good too. If only it wasn't probably toxic lol Just one application leaves them sniny but if you let it dry and apply another they go even more shiny!

downhuman Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I must admit I like the wet look on tyres, which I know isn't too everyone's tastes so do two layers.... And the Z8 I now use as part of the 'whole' Zaino system, so Z5 pro layers cured with ZFX underneath. Love it.... Took some pics today despite washing her yesterday so will post soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Blackfire tyre gel is the best I have used. Last longer than any other I have tried including megs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesding Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 very nice - i use Zaino Z9 and Z10 for the leather, does a great job too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhuman Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah I'm struggling to find something I like more than the zaino system. Ultima is very good too but similar tbh. Given up on wax as, for me, none match the look of a good sealant on black or blue ... Which is the colour of our cars! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
