    Tire Protectants

    whats your favorite application?
    i perfer armor all tire foam.
    i found the tire gels to be a PITA!
    messy, hard to apply, and hard to get full coverage.
    plus messing around with the applicator.
    not for me.

    I prefer VRT - it`s more like a lotion. I apply it with a foam applicator.
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    PB BnB is my favorite. I wash my car twice a week so durability is not an issue for me. I like waterbase products like BnB because they don`t tear up the sidewalls of my Michelins. Also it is versatile and can be sponged on or sprayed.

    Re: Tire Protectants

    I prefer to apply with a tire swipe ... but unfortunately that is not one of the choices

    I use PB BnB, I pour it into a cup and apply it with a painters brush.
    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

    Re: Tire Protectants

    I use gloss black rattle can paint...its shines and last longer than anything that I have tried on the market....when I don`t have that available...I use Stoners More Shine and PB B-n-B

    I prefer the liquids over the gels and such...spraying on you get better coverage IMO

    Re: Tire Protectants

    For me it actually depends if im in a rush or not....

    aerosols if i need to get going right away and if i have time id use liquid/gels applying with a painter`s brush then swipe with one of those square applicator`s to get rid of the excess.

    ps does anyone have a suggestion concerning the "best" aerosol spray on ??? Im still testing different brands?

    I apply tire dressings with one of the foam blocks that has a hand hold designed to apply tire dressings. You apply it where you want and does not get onto wheels, etc. like foams and does not get on the driveway. I do use a foam tire product to detail wheel wells.
