I must confess that I always thought that they were made in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Wrong! Gliptone actually hails from New York (in the brilliantly named, Ronkonkoma, to be precise!) and they have been around since 1947 and contrary to what I thought they make a full range of car care products and not just leather-related stuff, either.<\/p>\n<p>They are represented in the UK by the same Chester-based company who produce the Liquid Leather and Staingard ranges. The Gliptone line-up is an extensive one and full of brightly coloured and heady smelling potions and concoctions.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be putting the full range through its paces as part of our Introducing \u2026 series in the next issue of TKC Mag but I had cause to use their True Blue Tire Shine through its paces recently.<\/p>\n<p>The bright blue liquid is nice and gloopy but thin enough to spray easily and it really does coat the tyres. If you like a matt or satin finish to your tyres then this may not be the tyre product for you but in certain circumstances, I like mine to have a wet look and this product doesn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>It leaves a thick coating that doesn\u2019t run off or worse still \u2018fling\u2019 all down your car\u2019s body when you pull away, which can be a nuisance to get rid of. I\u2019m a fan of Meguiars\u2019 Endurance tyre products, which like True Blue are available in a spray form or a thicker wipe-on liquid. They perform very similarly and even though the Megs product smells of Bazooka Joe bubblegum, the Gliptone stuff has a nice enough smell.I\u2019d have to say that I\u2019d give True Blue a very, very close points win over Endurance.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, if a wet look to your tyres is attractive to you then you\u2019ll love this product and even the price is competitive at just \u00a313 for an American-sized 22-ounce spray bottle (equates to 719ml), so it offers real value for money.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liquidleather.co.uk\/\">www.liquidleather.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I guess UK car care enthusiasts are well aware of the Gliptone range of leather care products that have been available for ages and work <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/03\/12\/not-just-leather-care-from-gliptone\/\" title=\"NOT JUST LEATHER CARE FROM GLIPTONE\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18792,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
