Dressing tires... spray, trigger, foam, gel?

[Tuck91]

Which form of tire dressing do you prefer?

[Deep Gloss]

I prefer to spray it onto a foam applicator and wipe it on... no worries of overspray and very cost effective way of using product

Only thing I do not like about aerosol is that it usally tends to float onto the paint somehow.

I have been using a trigger spray product and not aerosol for some time now...

I`ve used gels, foams, sprays and so on over the years. I`m at a point where I prefer to just use an aerosole spray like Meguiars Hot Shine or whatever. I like glossy, wet tires as do my customers. I look for them on sale. Plus, most every water based dressing I`ve used doesn`t last worth a darn, so I like solvent based sprays.

I use Zaino Z16 with a spray head installed. I spray it on a tire swipe and do my thing. If I need some extra sauce on the sidewalls, like on an A/T tire, I spray directly on the tire and work it in with the swipe. Nice thing about Z16 is it dries and doesn`t sling.

I ahve some Armor All Tire Foam for extrem tire sizes and cheapo wash & wax details.

For some reason, maybe its cause I had rubber bands for tires but I like using gels, feels more controlled to me. BUT I never thought of spraying one into an applicator. I feel like a dumbie now :banghead:

I like spraying the dressing on an Eagle One applicator and then applying it to the tire. My favorite tire dressing is Mother`s Reflections.

I kinda like gel. I apply it with a foam applicator and wipe off the excess.

I always use a tire swipe, wipe it one and let it soak for a little bit. Move the car (to bring the bottom of the tire up) and add another coat, then come back with a q-tip and dress the areas of the tire where the rim and tire bead contact. One of my final detailing steps is to go back with a towel do a final `buff` to remove any excessive product and even out any sheen.

I like the trigger spray. I spray it on the tire swipe and apply to the tire. Let dry for 5 minutes, the wipe off excess.

I usually use PB Bold & Bright or Chemical Guys VRP (Cut 50/50 with water).

I use a paint brush with bold&bright on my tires. I like the control I get with the brush most times its an even coat and I control where the product goes. I also don`t feel that this method takes any longer than wiping off the excess product that has spattered where I didn`t want it to go via aerosol or sprayers.

Just get a cheep brush and try it out...

I always always use a tire swipe, wipe it one and let it soak for a little bit. Move the car (to bring the bottom of the tire up) and add another coat, After that I moved the car so the bottom part of the tire I can get to and add another coat so it would look even. If the car needs to be driven then I would wipe it down.

I spray the product on an Eagle One applicator and then apply it on the tires. I let it sit for a little bit and then go back for a second time with the applicator to even out, remove any excess.
