Tire shine applicator

[htxrho]

Whats a decent applicator to use? I have never had tires like these on a truck where they are rough on the out side... they eat up the foam applicator I have been using fairly quick and start to crumble.

Anyone use something that lasts?

I used the green exforma tire shine looks good and lasts a while.

Thanks!

I use an aerosol spray…Meguires Tire Foam, after cleaning the tires & wheels…yes, you have to remove the overspray off the wheel, but it takes only a minute to clean each wheel with a mf cloth & some detail spray…no issues getting all the tire nooks & crannies.

Ya I've used the spray before. Don't mind the wiping it off... but i like the exforma stuff so far.

It’s what I use. I wash the truck, drive it down the street to get the excess water off the wheels/tires and then apply the tire shine, then dry off the body(helps remove the inherent overspray) and then wipe the wheels off with the used damp MF towels.

Something akin to this will work well

This is what I use with Chemical Guys Black Wet Tire Shine. Its a little spongy which works well around the side tread

I would say Exoforma is the best so far.. it's not that shiny but is totally dry and creates this bonded film with tire, interesting stuff.. for more shine I just used the Adam's Graphene Tire dressing. Very shiny and it's bit more greasier but nothing crazy.. Sprayed it on the running boards as well. Good stuff

I use a cheap, Dollar Tree sink-type sponge.

They are tough enough for the tires, but cheap enough to toss when they get ratty...

Soft tire brush with a self leveling no sling tire wet.

Recently started using the graphene as well. Pretty impressed with the finish and the longevity.

I don't tire shine my truck wheels because it's a truck.

Anything I spend over 80k for gets tire shine when it’s washed.

For our trucks, I use a soft brush. It’s a neat trick to get into all the groves and writing on the sidewall.

havent got one yet for this truck, but i always spray on and use on of those rectangle brushes used to polish boots then a microfiber to wipe off excess 1 minute after brushing

Just came across these:

Harbor Freight Tire and Grille Brushes

For $3.99, I think I'll give these a try...

Those look to be a stiff bristle brush set. Those might be more appropriate for scrubbing the tires clean. I’ve found a soft bristle brush works best for tire shine application. Just my opinion tho.

I use this and it works wonders. Cleans and stays on for a long time! No brush or wiping involved.

Best thing I found was called Cover All in a blue spray can...lasts long time...spray on and that's it...cut out 18 inch circle from plastic...glued handle on it...covers rim from overspray.
