I use the 16 oz. spray bottle that BnB comes with and spray each tire with three pumps while moving the spray around the circumference of the tire. I then use the OXO body brush to distribute it and clean the tire. I then wipe off the excess with a terry towel. I`m guessing I use less than 2 oz. to do four 225/60/16 tires. The tires are done each wash job and are relatively clean to start with.
Leaves a clean, matte finish which is what I happen to like. For me, shiny is for paint.

I apply tire dressing to the applicator, then wipe on the tire.

It seems that I use BnB in a totally different way than many/most of you.
The ways mentioned probably give you the results you want, but aren`t you missing the cleaning qualities of BnB?
If you just spray it on or wipe it on you have applied a dressing, but didn`t do much cleaning of the tire.
That`s one of the things I really like about BnB.
Where I used to clean the tire with an APC and then apply a dressing, I can now clean and dress the tire in one step.
Looks good, works good, it`s easy. Three things I really like.

No sling but then I don`t drive the car when it is dripping.
So I guess I was wondering if I was over doing it, unnecessarily.
Or maybe it is necessary.

I don`t always use the cleaning abilities. If I am washing the car the tires get a good scrub before applying the BnB. Yet when I am doing a wipe down with Spray-n-Wipe, the cleaning abilities are appreciated.

Facts are not the truth, but only indicate where the truth may lie.
I never knew about its cleaning abilities...I thought it was just a dressing.
Shows you how much I pay attention. I usually spray a tire down with an APC and scrub it with a brush, then pour the BNB into a cup and apply it with a 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.

I`ve got an old, cheapy microfiber towel that I keep in a ziplock bag and just keep re-using. I fold the towel to a nice size, apply a few drops to my towel and rub it on the tires.
By re-using it and always storing it in the ziplock...it always stays plenty saturated so there`s always plenty to wipe it with. It seems like less mess and less waste using it this way. Of course my hand gets a little greasy from the rag...which is why I save this step for last.
I even went to the extreme of having a nice piece of plastic custom cut to the dimension of my rims to use as a cover so I could spray it on...but just found that wiping it gave me better results.
