tire shine foam blocks and black liquid

[Bill1234]

I have been trying to shine my tires alot , but I have the problem of the black liquid coming off the shine to the applicator, how does everybody do this without it being so messy

I have used
Meguiars nxt aersol
armor all extreme shine gel

[Bill1234]

What I mean but this, is there anyway to not have so much build up on the applicator or should I buy different applicators from ag?

I never have issues. I use Megs Endurance Gel(great stuff), I put some drop of gel on the applicator and just wipe on, never an issues. What type of applicator are you using? I use these tire foam applicators, tire swipe (http://www.autogeek.net/tire-applicator.html)

Im using the free one that came withe the armoor all gel and another brand from target, do u reccomend these in your link ?

ive been spraying my tire gels in a regular trigger spray bottle, and diluting them to 1:1 (if water based and if dilution is necessary to spray) I find it easier to get on the tire and spread around.

I've heard that no matter what you do, tire foam applicators break down. Maybe it is best to try something like the carrand tire applicator?
