It doesnt spray on but is very easy to apply with a sponge. It gives what your looking for IMO.

The way to really get that "showroom look" is to apply a thick coat of a water based gel sealer... Like

Goes on with a sponge and ends up having a "DRY" finish when left on overnight....Let it suck in and apply a second coat a few hours later...

$25.00 for a gallon is a steal based on others I've seen...

Or the Adams product mentioned above seems to be very similar and should also give excellent results.


Because I wash quite often, I usually apply the cheapest "on sale" oil based products and I use the good stuff every once and a while.


If you really want that unbelievable shine, apply a second coat the next day and let dry.....

WHooooo!

P.S. Never spray dressing directly on your tires...Put the nozzle in a sponge and load the sponge up and apply in a circular motion around the tire. Roll the tires a half turn and finish the spot you missed.

Make sure you cover the first tread so you con't look like an amateur....................................

The Adams does not give a "hardcore" shine. The only one I have tried that does is the Meguires Hot Shine. The problem there is, it is a pain in the @ss to get off the tire.

A good substitute id the meguires tire foam. Gives a good gloss with a thin coat, but a high gloss with a heavy coat. Washes off clean too.

do you have a spray it's cuz i have a toyo mt's and its hard to get in to the crevises on the side due to the lugs on the tire with a sponge. that is why a prefer a spray

If you spray it on you will get it all over your mags

Get a few foam brushes and "paint it " on to avoid the overspray.

If you're that particular about having the best shine....Why would you "F" up your wheels in the process....Doesn't make sense.

Apply like my previous post and you'll achieve the best finish

That megiars stuff is the bomb. My dads truck has all black wheels and all you have to do is spray the whole wheel. Cool stuff.

I recently bought the VRT. I really liked how it made my tires look. Nice clean look, slightly shiny, but did not look like I had sprayed them with a quart of oil! Best part wa that after a week, they still looked good!!

I use the armor all in the spray can, works perfect, dries shiny, and won't sling if it you give it time to set.

I just picked up the Armorall Extreme Tire Shine Gel. It comes with its own sponge to apply it. It works great and it keeps it shiny for a long time (been 2 weeks for me so far, still looks great.
