    Anyone know the best way to avoid tire sling with this? I`ve only used it twice so far, and cleaned the rubber (I thought) pretty well, waited a couple of hours for it to `set`, but it still slings. I could be applying too much -- I do use a dedicated tire swipe for it. How much do you usually drop onto an applicator?



    Do you wipe it down with anything, or am I missing something else?

    Just wipe it down with a towel to get the excess off and you should be fine.

    Best tire gel I have worked with..........As Bob said, wipe on, wipe off..........dont get it on A/C or concrete though. Works very well on trim pieces too!!

    Ah, okay, I wasn`t sure I had to wipe it down. So it retains its look even after wipedowns?



    Patrick, A/C = ?? (sorry, I`m slow today )



    Thanks!

    I was wondering why anyone was using it on their air conditioner. LOL

    just apply a nice thin even coat and spread it around thoroughly with a tire swipe. sometimes when i apply (for example) tire foam and it goes on too thick and after i`ve spread it around, i use the leaf blower afterwards to help even and dry all the excess out...
