According to the directions on the bottle, for a moderate shine it is necessary to simply apply a coat of ETG and allow it to dry. This was a definitely a pleasant surprise for me.Ī neat feature of ETG is the relative ease with which you can control the shine given to your tyres by varying the steps used in applying it. Meguiar’s ETG on the other hand smells very fruity – almost like blueberry – both when sitting on the applicator pad and once the tyres have been dressed. the Australian Export Wet Look product referred to above smells comparable to WD40 or CRC 5-56, otherwise known as “awful”). Likewise, cheap tyre shine products virtually always have an unpleasant smell (e.g. In my experience, most products for use on the dirty bits of a car (the tyres and wheels mainly, but also mudguards and other areas close to the ground) smell terrible (for example, the highly-effective ValetPro Dragon’s Breath wheel cleaner not only smells like rotten eggs when in the bottle but smells even worse when reacting with brake dust clinging to wheels to which it is applied).
