I use Endurance as well, and since it's from Meguiar's, I trusted it implicitly. Well, if memory serves, Endurance has silicone in it, just like ArmorAll. I try to avoid products with silicone because sooner or later some gets on your paint. This isn't a problem if your car will never have problems, but if you need a touch-up or re-paint due to an accident, then it is nearly impossible to remove silicone and get a quality re-paint.<p><b>Drew S.</b> <a href="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/" target="drewinva"><img src="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/images/98.5.jpg" border="0" align=center></a> <b>98.5 A4 2.8 qm</b>

Recently coupons have appeared in AutoWEEK for use on MSLT at Pep Boys. The results are basically a FREE can of MSLT. I agree with Andy it last and last and lasts. You can never go wrong with one of Andy's suggestions. BTW I have got 4 can of MSLT free over the last several years. You cannot beat that deal.

Isn't this the "stuff" that sometimes goes on "sticky" on some brands of tires?? I've got the PP02's, i was just wondering....

I don't like the overkill super shiny wet look and this stuff produces just the right shine for me. Tires don't look overdone...just clean with a nice shine. It doesn't spin off and lasts longer than sprays. The thing I like about this product is it's NOT a spray-on and since there's no run-off, you don't have to worry about staining your driveway. Nor do you get overspray all over the sides of your car. It lasts well over a week or more. If after several days the tires start to look dull, just wipe them down and buff with a rag and the shine reappears. When the shine doesn't come back, I just redo them, which takes about 10 minutes. Excellent stuff. Comes in a box with applicator. It says "For A Deep Wet Shine" on the box, but it's not really an overly "wet" looking shine like some I've seen.

On my SP9000 I use Meguire's Endurance on my Continentals I use MSLT. My Winter tires are also ok with MSLT.

Since I started using the Meguiar's #40 vinyl & rubber cleaner/conditioner I do not get this brownish buildup (oxidation) anymore. Plus, it can be used inside and out, lasts fairly long and leaves a nice matte sheen.

Not all silicone is bad - it just depends on how it is formulated in the product. Also, any capable body shop should be able to strip any residual silicone from the surface before repainting. I would bet that there are not many products out there that do not contain silicone. I think the latest Motor Trend has a large article about all of this and other car care myths.

Audi dealer detailed my A4 after a service visit, including something on the tires. Now, I'm not a big fan of shiny sidewalls--no doubt partly related to watching some GIs spit shine the tires on a General's jeep with Kiwi shoe polish...in Vietnam, no less, shish--but I wasn't too bothered by the tire treatment without consulation, at first.

Then, I drove on some Texas caliche-surfaced roads (white, powdery), and the tire gloop picked up and held that fine dust. Took several hard scrubbings to remove. Last time I was in, my directions were NO tire treatments (and my service manager nodded in quick agreement, understanding completely).<p>Lewis

I totally agree. Better than spray-ons because there's no mess and it lasts longer.
