Best tire shine/application for tires with aggresive sidewalls
My dad has a GMC All Terrain X which comes with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires (posting a photo below). I also have a Ram pickup with raised white wall tires on it. What do you guys recommend product wise and application wise for these tires? I usually use Meguiars hot shine which is a pain since it sprays all over the edge of the wheels and it does sling off a little bit while driving after I wipe off some of the excess. The only reason I use the spray is to cover the aggressive areas of the sidewall, I use other products on my other cars with normal tires. Does anyone have some tricks for this?

Re: Best tire shine/application for tires with aggresive sidewalls
On tires with aggressive markings or sidewalk tread I use Perl in a fine mist spray bottle and just deal with wiping off overspray from the wheel. I get the most even coverage this way. Others use paint brushes and have good luck that way as well.

Spray some of the tire dressing into
an open container...and apply it to
the tires with a paint brush.

Re: Best tire shine/application for tires with aggresive sidewalls
I used to apply Hyper Dressing onto those type of tires, but even using a brush to thoroughly work into the tire I would get sling all over the side of the truck the next day... So I brushed even more extensively + dried each tire with the Metro Sidekick and thought there would be no way it would sling now... Wrong, it still slinged.
I've moved onto tire foam. No sling at all now.

Re: Best tire shine/application for tires with aggresive sidewalls
Absolute awesome brushes for these types of tires:
Carrand Brush & Shine Tire Dressing Applicators, tire brush, tire shine applicator
The "trick" is to ensure you properly prep the surface via proper cleaning and apply to a dry tire.
I usually use CarPro PERL or Meguiar`s High Endurance Tire Gel. I always try to ensure at least a few hours of curing before the vehicle is driven.

Re: Best tire shine/application for tires with aggresive sidewalls
I have had very good results on aggressive side walls with the following process.
After cleaning the tires of any prior product with a good tire and rubber cleaner...
I use CQuartz DLux Plastic & Wheel Coating using an Airbrush Compressor Kit.
For this type of project I picked up an inexpensive "kit" from Harbor Freight.
The air brush gets DLux in all the little tiny grooves. Let it dry/cure 12-24 hours.
No sling (after it's cured). Lasts for months.

Either McKees tire coating or tuff shine or Sonax tire gel with a applicator. ANY WATERBASED PRODUCT WILL SLING.ROLL TRUCK BACK TO ENSURE YOU DRY UP ANY EXCESS DRESSING.
