Just trying to see what you guys use to apply tire dressing...
And which one is your favorite product and why....?

For me personally im just using the cobra tire applicator that i got... in one of the order i placed with AG and now i need a new one lol
And im still looking for my ideal dressing!!
 
I use Meguiar's Tire Shine, not sure of the exact name. But I get it in either the spray or the Endurance in the aersol can. And I use an old MF applicator pad that I spray the product onto and then wipe the tires down. I then put the applicator in a ziploc bag and toss it on my detailing cart
 
I have used the cobra tire applicator, pinnacle foam applicators, the tire & trim applicators that come in the plastic container, and many others. I can honestly say that the pinnacle foam applicators and cobra applicators (or similar) are my favorite. They are great for low profile tires or big truck tires.

As far as tire shine...right now I'm in love with the Blackfire Total Eclipse Tire gel. I also really like the Pinnacle Black Onyx. Both are great products and leave a nice dark finish. Not too shiny but enough.
 
Detailing cart!! That sounds fancy lol
U got a picture of how that cart looks like?
 
Right now I am using Meguiars Endurance tire shine in the spray bottle with just an old applicator pad. I circle the tire multiple times to get an even consistency and prevent over application.

The bottom bin you can stand 16, 32 oz bottles up and even fit gallon jugs in there. The next drawer up has 4 bins that fits 2 16oz bottles perfectly on their side in each one. So I have compounds in one, polishes in another, sealants in the 3rd and misc in the 4th. The top portion I have MF's and then it has a pull off top part that I have brushes and tools in

Actually bought it for my wife, as she has a small commercial cleaning business and she hauled her cleaning supplies in it, but it got to heavy for her to lift in and out of the SUV at each place. So I thought, perfect use for me. I may get a second one
 
Wow very nice... but 80$ is alot to me lol, im drained by all the detailing products i purchased.

I use a 20$ mobile thing from Stanley that can be found at wal mart...

Yeah, that FatMax isn't so cool if you have to stow it, then you can't have anything sticking out of the top--I'd hate to have product bottles on their side.
 
Yea... i mean i dont think the products will leak.... but u know i prefer them to be standing lol
 
I use some cheap round tire sponges with Mothers Reflections Tire protectant. It leaves a matte finish. The brand new look. No sling at all. I prefer my tires with no shine just a new deep black look.
 
OptiBond mostly 1:1 in HVLP gun,I also use others this way depending on the shine the customer requests. And junk paint brushes to even out.
 
Opti-Bond 1:1 with the Optimum spray gun.

Tuf-Shine is my favorite product for tires applied using their applicator.
