A year or so ago, someone gave me a bottlle of "Carplan Hot Rubber"
I've been using lately and it is good gear.It doesn't have a high shine, more of a lustre.
The other good thing about it is, you can spray it on the alloys to keep the brake dust from sticking to them, making them so much easier to wash. :D
Anyone else using it?

I forget the exact type of tyre dressing that I use, but it's quite a thick/gloopy product that I put on with a cloth or small piece of sponge. Doesn't dry too sticky and doesn't end up turning brown like some I have used in the past.

I tend to prefer the matt/lustre type finish as well so only use it once in a while (every couple of months or less), and find that the best effect is achieved by cleaning off the excess afterwards. Looks nice after the second/third wash etc B)
