, also what I do is this; Just before I am finished with the whole vehicle, I take a Jumbo foam Tire applicator from ads and rewipe the tires. This has really solved the tire sling problem for me.

Here is my method, which eliminates sling by 100%! I spray the tire shine on the tires BEFORE I wash the car. I let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then when I'm washing the car I spray the tires close up with the hose. Sure, this results in a little bit less of a shine, but I actually prefer the toned down look that it gives my tires, and it completely eliminates any chance of slinging.

After applying it over the years incorrectly, despite the brand, I have overcome slinging by wiping on a thin coat with a foam applicator like the Eagle One pad, and by working it in cleanly and evenly making sure there is no uneven coating making slinging 99.9% non-existent. Plus, you'll never catch me ever spraying it on the tire. Whether spray or gel, its always on the foam pad first.

100%

I have raised white letter tires on my truck and the Eagle One Tire Swipes and Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Gel combo works with zero sling. Application is the most important part to stop the slinging.

Hey,

I use an old paintbrush to kinda get inside the grooves of the sidewall, so there are no puddles of protectant in there.

Never thought about that.

Not a bad idea.

I have just about every tire shine that megs makes and Ive never had a problem with them slinging off.

I use applicators that I get at advance auto for $1. I have one for each dressing.

I just don't use any product on my sidewalls. Why:

1) I do not like the slick wet look on tires.
2) The oily product can reduce tire grip in hard corners when the tire flexes under load on the shoulders
3) My pants get staine when i try to squeeze past my car in carparks.
