As per title I'm looking for a tyre dressing that lasts. Currently using dj supernatural and the finish just doesn't last long at all. Something that stays put for 1-2 weeks without being washed off in the rain would be great.
A lot depends on the weather - rain or dry weather, if the tyre is properly cleaned before applying any dressing and also how many miles you drive. I have used Meguirs All Season Dressing on tyres, when I was doing 500 miles per week, in all types of weather, rain etc, and generally got about 3 weeks before there was a major drop off on the dressing. I know use Autosmart Highstyle and get about 2 weeks depending on the weather
Have used a fair few now and for me on Conti 5s Gyeon Tire for winter/wetter weather.
In drier weather when you obviously get longer out of a product anyway CarPro PERL leaves a nice finish but have starred to use Swisvax Pneus and that's pretty much my favourite.

Thanks for that - I use CarPro PERL, want to try Gyeon and Pneus
What do you like about Pneus over PERL - the look or longevity? Worth the money?
My personal recommendation for a long lasting dressing is
Solvents:
- Espuma RD50 - bling for a day, then satin sheen for weeks
- AutoGlym Rubber Plus - similar to RD50, but doesn't last as long, doesn't sink into the tyre either. Not sure you can even buy this any more
Water Based:
- Sonax Rubber Protectant - I think the code is 230200 - it's basically gummi fledge in a can (Gummi is 230000). Solid black tyres for a very long time
- 1z Rubber Protectant - again in a can, I believe this is also their version of Gummi, just in a spray can. Definitely can't buy this any more
2 coats of Megs Endurance on the wife's ZetecS is still looking quite fresh after 2 weeks of typical BST....apart from the 1" long patch that's missing....I can easily top it up but can't do much with the scuffed alloy :wall:
Hmm a bit odd, I've not experienced that before with T1.
If you haven't already I'd suggest scrubbing the sidewalls with a brush and APC - BH Surfex HD or g101 etc, rinse then reapply once dry.
Thanks for all the replies so far. Quite a few recommendations for gyeon, I have some of their MFs and am very impressed. If their tyre dressing is the same quality then I might give it a go.
I have the autoglym one. It looks totally matt and quite natural looking. Lasts 1 week easy and 2 weeks it starts to fade. I top it up every weekend though because it knocks years off the car if the tyres, trim and alloys are looking their best.
I've used 3 coats after cleaning the rubber and so far so good
