Removed to celan them. 

I have been using "FinishKare - 108AS Top Kote Tire Dressing" just recently, does a nice natural black look finish IMO

I need some of those too,tyre fitter lost a couple.

Mine fall off all the time so I've given up replacing them.

 

Strangely my 2014 Rapedo lost none but the 2018 one drops them off frequently.

 

Another sign of dropping VW quality?

 

I got some of this recently after using Megs tyre gel for years (good finish but doesn't last too long) then trying some armoural tyre gel (only got to look at moisture and it disappears).

It can be diluted to suit different applications, for tyres it's 1:1, really easy to apply with a sponge applicator.  One coat leaves a very subtle, natural looking finish but buff it up with a microfibre cloth and re-apply you get a more pronounced shine.

Best tip I was given was to give the tyres a good scrub with APC first.  Seems to last a while, even a couple of washes!

A good video from the guru comparing here.

Wow, that's some serious effort for black tyres.

 

I just blather this stuff on with a brush...

 

 

Same here, best stuff I've used for years.

Helps to have a good supply.

Prefer a satin finish, rather than gloss. So it's horses for courses.

 

I'm still very happy with Gyeon Q2 and also still have some Meg's Endurance Tyre Gel knocking about somewhere, but durability isn't as good compared with Q2.
