Tire coating

[JG_Detailing]

I use this on my tire's sometime's. I also use Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Spray. Is there a better way to use Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance. I does get alittle messy. I do use a foam applicator, but I hate to ruin them on the tire.

I use a paint brush

I like using a tire dressing applicator... I always get mine at walmart, they are called "Tire Swipes". Meguiars doesn't have a "tire dressing applicator"(wish they did) so this is the next best thing. They are cheap and work, they last me a couple months.

Look like this:


EDIT:
I will say its still a little messy... someone on MOL suggested(can't find the post, so thank you whom ever you are) placing the swipe in a Ziploc bag then pulling the bag around your hand while still holding the swipe, applicator side out then apply the product. Great way to keep from getting messy, then store the swipe in the Ziploc bag.

I use Megs Endurance, apply with an applicator like the one
gb387 uses. I cut one in half to use on low profile tires on my wife's car, works great.

I do use that one for the tire's. The thing is are they washable.

Not sure I would wash them.... not worth it. I think they are about $2 for a package of 2 at walmart. Might be better off purshasing more. I get several months out of one then toss it when it starts to tear, keep it stored in a ziploc bag.

I use a Even Coat Applicator.



I like using this since it's washable, and it works great with white lettering. I swipe the entire tire, then use the backside to swipe over the lettering. It get's dirty after about 2 uses, so I soak them and wash with my other stuff. I've tried the High Tech pads, and it just ruins them. I haven't tried the swipes yet.

And also don't forget the nitrile gloves.

Use a 100% nylon paint brush they work great for applying tire dressings because they don't absorb the product and they are very easy to clean. You can get them in Home Depot or places like that.

How do you put the tire coating on? Do you put it in a cup or pour it on the brush.

i have tried the swipes and painting dressings on and i think i like the swipes more

i use a foam paint brush and i poured hot tire shine into an old yogert container and used it like that

[The Doctor detailer]

you can apply directly to the brush no mess

[DetailManiac]

I use a painters brush all the time and it works great, no mess
at all and I keep clean hands

There is an other thread about this subject:

What is the best kind to use? Like what brand of brush.
