I use Eagle One tire applicators. Their like $2 bucks for a pair, freaking last forever. They come in a nice zip resealable bag you can store them in. I use them to apply Pinnacle Black Onyx.

Man that looks pretty neat, probably makes it a breaze to apply product.

If I am using something like Car-Pro Pearl I use an automotive paint spray gun. Shoots it into the letters with ease.

Haha! Yeah man Eagle One makes great products, they fly under the radar on most detail forums. Since they are curb shaped sometimes applying at the very bottom of the tire is a little tricky. I like that Adams design because it has that handle that IMO looks easier to control product application.

I was going to go with these:

tire foam applicators, tire swipe (http://www.autogeek.net/tire-applicator.html)

But cheaped out and went with these:

TUF SHINE Pro Series Applicator Sponge (http://www.autogeek.net/tuf-shine-pro-series-applicator-sponge.html)

I gotta say, simple design but I like them alot. BTW I use Tire Gels mainly not sprays so I cannot comment on how they work with the sprays.

I don't know how I feel about the curved ones. I feel that they might not fit my tires very well so I went with the flat surface ones.

I like that Adams design

Now that is surprising :nomore:

It does have a problem with sometime putting dressing on the wheel, but that's quickly wiped off.

Overall it is my favorite applicator for tire dressing. Way better than the foam one AG sells unfortunately.

Heres what I use for tires. tire foam applicators, tire swipe (http://www.autogeek.net/tire-applicator.html)

CM8, seems like curve would make it easier to do bottom of tire. Not so?

[swanicyouth]

No more foam applicators for me. I hate cleaning them and they get nasty. I use these for Tuff Shine and regular dressing:

The bristles are nylon I believe. They clean easily and well.

Heh like all products they all have both pros and cons. Eagle One is actually owned by Valvoline.

Maybe for larger tires, for lower profile tires the sidewall is obviously smaller. Once you get to the bottom portion of the tire, your applicator is making contact with the tire but as your moving closer to the most bottom portion of the tire, you have to adjust your applicator horizontally so it doesnt touch the ground.

It sounds more complicated than it seems. Its not even enough to be considered a flaw trust me, but something to take note. The curb design does allow you to apply any product evenly.

They last me a very long time (4-5 months), and when they get dirty I just buy another pair for $2.
