I got some new kind. Turtle wax F2 spray foam. It's terrible. I hated applicator kind with tires this size it takes forever. Might go back to the good ole armor all foam.

I've notice that using a $2 2" disposable paint brush works great to apply the tire shine. You can spray it on the tire and spread it with the brush or spray the tire shine on the brush and apply it.

No, it's a cream that you would use an applicator or rag to apply. The picture on the right of my sig shows the finish it leaves.

Here's another pic of the tire dressing on a low profile tire. I love working on this car. :)

Being a cream is it messy at all? I love the finish it leaves and the "no sling" intrigues me :)

I love the Adams Super VRT. Its like a lotion or cream that doesn't have the tires looking super shiny or wet. Just the right amount of sheen IMO. Plus it last damn near forever!

Black magic but apply with a curved sponge to help with the splatter

i always use this stuff called cover all they sell it at orallys its silcone i like it but id let it dry for a little while before driving

Cover All is real good (5 stars) and it is an aerosol. Best if spray on tire dressing applicator in a area with out a wind draft, say inside garage and wipe on tires. Having a blk truck, when you get to spraying Cover All directly on the tire it leaves over spray on truck and those spots irritate me. Cover All is made by Superior Products and I have been using their products for a while. They have tons of detailing supply's I get through my partner which sales to a lot of the hand car washes in Chicago. They have auto air freshener in all scents. But back to the tire shine, that's the one I use and at the moment O'rileys is the only place I see that stocks it, and cheaper than the Endurance by Meguiars that I used to use. You can see tire in picture and when after a few days just take old rag and wipe tire and shine is still there, and just keep that rag for later wipes and it will keep some of the product in rag and gives it a nice shine for future wipe.

I use Armor All Extreme tire gel... I usually apply it at night or when I know I won't be driving for atleast a few hrs so it can dry. No sling if done correctly.

For those using the spray how do you keep it off your wheels?

Absolutely NO sling and gives off a silky sheen look.

Got the armor all hot shine stuff with the sponge applicator. Works pretty good. I think it is really important to use a good wheel and tire cleaner first. I got the armor all cleaner for tires and used that all over. 10 days and tires are still shiny.
