May just be a local thing, I still see it all over the place here. It is getting hard to find the Original Formula but, the High Gloss version is still all over the place.

Hi Mindflux,
It's just a placement issue. It's still available and a good seller, it's just hard to get good placement.

found some of the high gloss stuff at Autozone down the road, the others were out.
This may work, although I've never tried the High Gloss version, just the regular usually. This looks more liquidy, the other looks a little more solid and a lighter purple, this definately looks more liquified?

Hi Mindflux,
Some people really like the high gloss version while others do not. Personally, I lean towards the original version.
I would recommend washing the tires well first, then apply and work in the Endurance Gel, let it penetrate for 10 -15 minutes, then locate one of your tattier towels, not worthing of being used on paint and wipe the tires down to remove any excess.

For tire gels like the Meg's Endurance, how should I apply it? Squeeze onto tire swipe and swipe entire tire?

I was looking for durability, so I just bought some Megs Endurance. Do you guys just squirt one stream of the gel onto the tire swipe and apply onto tire?
It's quite good for durability. I've been applying it with a small dish-type sponge with reasonable success, but its nasty stuff to work with and invariably finds its way onto painted parts which require some serious re-cleaning to remove it. Once, I used (ruined) an old MF polishing cloth applying it.
ive just started using the armor all gel and i like it real well, does have a high gloss but i have found that if i just wait 15 minutes then use a old towel and go back over real lightly it takes out some of the high gloss... and i use it with the sponge that comes with it.. durability seems real good and no sling from it either...
The High Gloss End. Gel is nice and lasts forever, but is a pain to put on if you have anything other than a smooth sidewall.
I've only come across the original version ONE time. I liked it a lot better, looks wise.
I gave up and use the Meg's Hot Shine End. spray (non-foam) as a base and keep it up with 3:1 Hyper Dressing.

Hm.. Thanks for all for the advice. I'll try to apply it tomorrow in the morning to my tires. My tires certainly are not flat, lots of indentations and words 
I'll probably take an old sponge to do the job. I'm just worried that sponges (and foam applicators) will suck up the product too much... We'll see.

I'll never ever use this Tire Gel again, totally ruined my Tires. Applies horribly, greasy, way to heavy. Ugh.

I applied the Meguiars Endurance Gel in the morning today. Here are my thoughts:
1. It is indeed more greasy and thick than the liquid tire dressings. However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. More protection.
2. I found areas with crevices or indentations on the tire sidewall were hard to get to. After fuming and thinking that I just wasted my money on something I couldn't use, I saw a toothbrush. The toothbrush did a great job of getting the dressing into the words and designs on the sidewall. It also helped me conserve with the amount of gel used because it didn't soak up the gel like my rag did.
3. The gel (high gloss) does seem to give a bit too much of shine (I didn't wipe it down), but I will experiment and see what works best for me. I prefer durability and don't mind it if that means I have more shine on the tire.
