I have used it (still have it) it is good but won't last long. For slightly more £ you can get Fusso, which imo is waaaaaaaay better than Megs Wax.

Like @Audib5fan said these are decent. I started off with Megs MF wash mitts and moved to lambswool ones before buying Adams wash pads some time ago. I have 3 of them (bought over the years), I now use them for me alloys .

Same here, like to use up what I've already got first.

For now these will be displayed like ornaments on my detailing shelf.

But could not pass them up at those prices.

I am stingy, I know that . The MF ones still look new and fresh out of the factory but without the tags and packaging . Over the years means for the last two years. I buy one everytime I detail / machine polish the car and I have detailed the B7 (sold now) and A3 a few times. Oh, and had to do a mate's E220 last year and kept few bits as 'service charge'

Ok all, I know this isn’t an Audi, but using poetic licence, and the fact I do own one....@FranA3 washed, corrected and sealed the JCW today, and a cracking job as he always does with unfailing attention to detail with a serious dose of OCD thrown in.

Only a few shots here, will post more when Fran posts them, but very very pleased, and more importantly so is Mrs Q5man

 

[Scotty75]

Looks absolutely cracking mate, good work again @FranA3. Got to ask, what were the tyres treated with ?

Gleaning that has really transformed the appearance of the car.... Now @q5man has to learn how to keep it that way lol
Meguiars endurance is great value for money l admit but it's too messy for me prefer fireball tyre wax or car pro perl subjective l know
Edit l used it on my Mrs cars pilot sport 4 tyres they looked lovely but it doesn't look great on my P-zeros for some strange reason they suit more of a satin finish dressing

Thanks @jassyo06. We are pleased with how it looks, but the grey will never bling like met black, but the red really comes out nicely. I seem to be maintaining the black q5 ok, @FranA3 was impressed, especially as I did a 400 mile round trip on Saturday to take my son for Harrogate Army college insight day. does look good. So you recommend Perl for tyres? I am not sold on megs, as don’t think it lasts very long, and I personally prefer a matte finish. Maybe I apply too much/too little.

It does on mine and stays for a long time. I wash the tyres with BH Surfex HD and Vikan wheel brush (on the tyres and not on the alloys) before finally going over with whatever shampooing have used on the car.

What I love about Megs tire gel is not only the silk finish (personally, I don't like matte look) but also it doesn't spray it on the wings and lower areas of the car which other tyre gels do.

I believe the trick is to make sure your tyres are clean before you apply it. On occasions where I didn't wash the tyres with BH or washed just with the shampoo it didn't last long.

Snob.... Lol l use a finger nail brush and some fairy liquid to clean my tyres cheap as chips, l wouldn't put one of them vikan brushes near my alloys as they too large for the profile of tyres and would mark the cut finish on my wheels, OK for larger tyres though, don't like megs endurance to be honest it's too oily and collects dust and does sling especially in the hot weather as it never cures, @MattSedg used car pro perl on his tyres the other week it leaves a very nice finish indeed again its depends on yer taste l got Tac systems tyre gel will see how that looks when it arrives

that is a good and fair shout. Recently I have been washing the tyres and scrubbing with wheel brush, so agree does last longer. I don't like complete Matte, more a silk finish

agree, the wheel brush I use is fine on massive profile Q5 tyres , but not so for the very low profile JCW tyres

A slight correction here (too many things to remember). @jassyo06 is right; Vikan has rough bristles and therefore gets used only on the arches, which have to be cleaned with every wash. I don't like dirty wheel arches . For tyres, it is a very soft wash brush from Halfrauds, which gets a proper wash after every use including the Vikan one. Both the brushes are soaked in separate buckets before final wash/rinse with pressure washer. Not concerned about the demage to the bristles as they don't get used on the paint work.

Tis the one
