Default Halfords Tyre Paint

Any one else here use this stuff?

I always have a tin handy as it does a cracking job of freshening up the wheel arch liners. Normally use it once a year and it brings the liners up a treat. One small tin lasts a good few years.

Maybe someday I'll actually try it on tyres (doubt it though).

I use autosmart finish on the arch liners. It need redone every few weeks but looks good when dry.

I use Carpro Perl rubber and trim protectant. Very versatile. Video Review at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VemTxplY1E

Thanks Cliff for the tip using the tyre paint, I am going to buy a tin of Tyre Paint and use it on the wheel arch liners on my ZTT.

I haven't used their tyre paint for many, many years - in fact I haven't seen it on the shelves! I'll keep an eye out in future.

I must admit, I was quite surprised when I came accross it in one of their stores. Last time I used it, it was on the tyres of my MKII Cortina (which was newer then than my '75 is now!).

I wouldn't use it on any "high visibilty" areas (tyres etc) but it's great for freshening up those out of sight areas that take a battering.

There always is a Russian hack - in this case with a glycerine
Within the comments below there is an advise to use an anti-static in the mixture.
