Can someone suggest the best way to apply a water based dressing to the wheel wells? Until I began reading this forum I never considered dressing the whell wells. Now if I don`t it look incomplete. I have a tight fit with my wheels and the well. I have been using a pump up sprayer to atomize the dressing into the surface and following up with a sponge. I drop it several times in the course of each well.
I have tried to afix a sponge to a flyswatter but cannot get enough leverage. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have been using a product called Aqua Bead (mixed 50/50 with water) and so far so good. I am just about out and if someone know this product and has a better suggestion, I am open to improving the product.
Thanks!

I`ve never used it but I`ve seen mentioned on these boards the use of a Wagner HVLP paint sprayer. Cover your tires w/ a trash bag and spray away!
Here`s a link to one discussion:

I guess my way is kinda halfarse but I always like to give freshly dressed tires a wipedown with a clean MF after it soaks in. I then take that MF to the wells and it puts just the right amount of dressing in the wells without too much mess...
A spraying method would probably be easier (Griot`s undercarriage comes to mind)

If you jacked your car up, would the weight of the wheel drop the tire down enough to give you a little more clearance? If not, you could take the wheel off while it was up!

I tuck about 1" of tire on my civic. I use multiple "staining" foam brushes to apply my dressings whether they are silicone or water based.
