    How much Bold N Bright do you use?

    Wondering if I am using too much.
    I spray until the tires are totally wet and dripping.

    it really depends on the look you are trying to achieve and how much Bold n Bright you have

    I prefer to wipe it around after a light spritz for a black bold look, but not too glossy ...if you prefer a wet glossy look, then just spray away and walk away

    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.

    Why are you asking this? is it because you feel like you are wasting product? or that you are getting sling on the car?

    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 think that there is a wrong way to apply BnB I spray on so that it coats the ride even, then let dry completely...I like the shiny tires more than anything...so the wipe down to buff is not something I would do

    Re: How much Bold N Bright do you use?

    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.

    Re: How much Bold N Bright do you use?

    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.

    Re: How much Bold N Bright do you use?

    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.
