What tire applicators do you guys like for Low Profile tars ?

[pingable]

I`m thinking about cutting my E0 in half to see if it works better.....



The curve is just not working out for me.

Tried the 3 local autoparts stores *autozone, pepboy and R&S* and they don`t carry any flat ones.

You could just use a foam applicator or other (terry, MF) applicator or just a piece of sponge.

$2 foam sponge from Walmart

I just use the normal foam applicator for polsihes and waxes. They work really well on applying tire cleaning products as well - you can get right in the wheel well with your hand to clean all around the tire

Wait, I just noticed that you put "tars"? Was that a spoken-for-written mixup?



Look for some foam paintbrushes at wal mart. They come in varying sizes and work well for applying dressing.

Ha. I just need to get one of those hot *line* machines that they use to cut the foam up !



Then I would use that to cut up some of my older 6" foam pads and make all types of foam hard apps for me - tires, exterior door moulding, etc ;-)



Actually, I`ve been looking at those Edge swabs for some of my exterior moulding and if not for the ac grill slats when I put 303 on on the interior !

Well, it wouldn`t be the first time someone cut up a polishing pad to use it for other uses, and I think you`ll be fine with a good scissor. Of course truzoom is right about the foam paint brushes, as well, I have used them for tire dressing, as well as hearing the original suggestion from Poorboy Steve for use with his trim restorer.

Or you could try my simple system: 303 gets sprayed into wheel wells, on tires, and wheels all at once. Excess is then wiped off wheels and a few moments later off the tires. Quick `n easy, though 303 isn`t the cheapest stuff, but what`s a few extra pennies for good looks and convenience. Same philosophy as I used to use for dating...

Scrap foam!



It`s free and easy to get!



You can cut your own shapes and sizes!



You can use it once and throw it away!



Or you can use it multiple times!

I just cut my EO tire swipes to size. Works like a charm, but IMO EO swipes get lower and lower quality every year. Lately, I`ve been using the Pinnacle tire dressing applicator and that seems to work well too.

[ProStreetCamaro]

I use the small eagle 1 foam tire dressing wipes. Perfect size for low profile tires.

[braindead]

I use a 2" paint brush & paint on the shine... Not the foam brush`s either... Works a treat.

Chef, I`ve found some of those cool, ultra-dense sponges (like the ones provided by Poorboys) and cut them to the exact width of the contour. I keep these small sponges in marked ziploc bag so they are reserved for tire use. It`s been a real time saver.
