the endurance stuff is a meguiurs product. it's what I use, keeps the tires lookin great the longest. I recommend it over the spray stuff, much higher quality.

I've used Meguire's Endurance too, and it's great stuff; I'd recommend it. It's a purple gel stuff. Don't have to worry about overspary on everything, lasts a good while, doesn't brown the tires like alot of other stuff, and smells so good you want to eat it. YOu can get it almost anywhere.

I use the purple stuff but I don't really care for it. It only lasts a couple days at best, and doesn't have a real strong shine. But, it doesn't sling crap all over the side of my car like Tire Wet, and it doesn't turn brown.
