    You might just try to wipe on your product with a tire app pad. I find them to provide a more uniform pattern, plus there is alot of product waste with sprays IMO

    If however you still prefer sprays, you could get an old box from your grocer and cut out an 18" pattern. In the center of this box cut 2 slots so you can slide your fingers and thumb into with 1 hand and spray with the other hand

    Personally I do prefer the wipe on tire dressing as well. Not that I`ve ever actually tried a spray on though...

    I usually apply my tire dressing to a long handle tire brush, and then apply it to the tires that way. No mess.

    Spray dressing on brush:



    Apply to tires:

    I agree with the others, wipe on is the way to go.


    IMO "spray on" usually equals "sling off"!

    Got my own answer

    I all - thanks for your thoughts - but I got my Zane Wheel Shield in the mail today and it`s the best $$ I ever spent. It adjust for both my cars and is the easiest thing to use too.

    PS - I`m having a difficult time working around this forum, being new and all, so excuse me if this is posted twice.

    OH - does any one know what`s the best plastic headlight lense restorer???

    Try 3M headlight restorer - less than $15 at Wallys - takes about 15 minutes / per headlight - need a drill.

    with coconut soap and a good brush can get excellent results, besides cleaning restores color, shine and highlights the action has degreaser. Has anyone tried it?
    Well, I have natural explanations. I am director of a cleaning company
    automotive in Brazil, I know that some things or tips are very different
    of friends. Carnauba is the good of Brazilian origin and is now
    considered an excellent wax. With respect to coconut (fruit
    delicious) here in Brazil there is much to soap making and is excellent
    to remove soot layer of oil or brake is actually a product
    interesting. Culturally in the U.S. is widely used in cosmetic guess
    so some friends thought it odd.
