What do you use? I use some stuff from the £1 shop, it looks real good untill it rains and it runs onto the alloys and makes them a mess.

by the way, i use kiwi boot polish, works better, lasts longer, is good as back to black too, as is mr sheen
i'm being serious by the way, both work really well and are cheaper than back to black/ decent tyre shine

kiwi boot polish
will last you about 800 applications, and looks as good as anything else

bootpolish washes off quite easily, tyre shine is more like tar, it stains your hands brown, its horrible stuff
