As the title says, I'm looking for Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance Tire gel in around the GTA.

http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/imagesEdp/p84746b.jpg

I used to get it at Cdn. Tire but it seems they've stopped carrying it at the few stores around me in Scarborough.

I know there was this post (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?44241-REQUEST-FOR-HELP-What-do-you-use-to-keep-your-tires-shiney/page2&highlight=meguiars+endurance)prior asking almost the same thing however there was no response.

I'm using this stuff right now Black Magic Titanium Tire wet gel, works pretty good.. not much sling at all really.. if you put it on thick, then I recommend you let it sit for at least an hour or more. I normally do a nice thin coat and it will last pretty much the whole week.

I'll check the crappy tire near me tonight and see if they have the meguires, I've never seen it before though at crappy tire.

Did you check partsource?

Sonic, I know what you mean. NOTHING out there currently gets that 3 weeks-month shine like the good ole (i think) Pre-VOC forumla.

Besides, I'm pretty sure its discontinued, so you're SOL on that end. Not much help from me, as I can't find a source myself. :(

They still list it on their website. Well I'm going down to the U.S in about 2 weeks and I plan on checking pepboys, walmart, carquest and another place for this stuff. If you don't find any before I go, I'll pick one up for you if I can find it while im down in Buffalo.

Sent a e-mail to Meguiar's Canada that bounced from two people at Dominion Secure Seal. They have fowarded me to 3M who now owns the brand. Still no response yet.

I've also sent a note to Chris at e-shine since this is where I get most of my detailing supplies. (Yes he's not in the GTA however I've always had prompt delivery from them). He sent a response and I clarified that I can't find the product so I'm also waiting for a response back.

This does not look too good.

Looking at the 2010 product line here (http://www.meguiars.com/catalog/2010_Retail_Catalog.pdf) and Page 16 for wheels and tires no longer shows this product.

There is only the Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel(G7516). I don't see anyone local retailing this one either.:whoa

I'll wait for 3M to confirm however may have to stock up from the states.

Is this stuff really that good? I can get away with 2 possibly 3 applications from spring to fall. Wash the stuff off and the tires continue to look rich and black.

I'd sent Meguires an email about this a couple months back. They said that if there were no retailers local to the GTA that carried it, then the only other option was to order it online from them. Of course they don't ship to Canada apparently, so it was pretty pointless.

I'm grabbing some in the U.S in 2 weeks, so I'm willing to take a small order if anyone else is interested in getting this stuff.

Finally 3M has gotten back to me!

They have confirmed that Cdn. Tire is no longer ordering this product and will not be stocking it. The recommendation was to source it from any Napa store. If they do not have in store, they can order in for you according to the 3M rep. Trying to line up another source and will keep this thread posted.

That stuff is amazing in terms of longevity! And it smells awesome too! haha.. But the downside is after a while it makes your tires go brown from the dirt build up. I currently use Meguairs Hot Shine, just doesnt last longer then 4-5 days.

The product smells like Grape candy, Crush or something.

As for the dirt build up, you wash them down when they start to get dirty and the product still leaves residue that keeps the tire looking black.

I guess because the product lasts so long, they don't seel as much and hence they are pulling it off the shelf.
