tire dressing recommendation?

Justin-I noticed you have a few different tire dressings, a gel and a couple liquid sprays. Which would you recommend for that wet look on the tires? Thanks.

The Optimum Opti Bond tire gel will give a wetter look on the tires, it isn't greasy and dries to the touch.

On the same topic, what do you recommend to apply tire dressing? I've generally used a small black sponge made to the size of the tire wall, but I didn't know if there was a better way.

I just use the tire applicators that I carry. They have a cool place for grip plus and they are double sided.

Dries to the touch...does that mean it sling back on your car when you drive it? Most of the things we try end up on the car at some point.

Sling generally occurs from applying excess dressing on the tires.

For me, the best method Ive found is Gel with a towel, ive used all those spong things in the past and always go back to a rag. Either way, Gel is the way to go.

I always spray a foam applicator and apply it that way, it gives a more uniform coating in my opinion.

Meaguiar's Endurance and a good sponge, (I haven't tried Justin
