    Smile New Flex Foam Tire Applicators my thoughts

    This is my thoughts on it.

    Well I received the new flex tire apps. and the first thing that comes to mind is the shape. It fits great in my hands, and it is very flexable like it is called. I have been using Pinnacle's black onyx tire gel, with these pads. It holds the gel close to the top, of the foam were it is needed. Not getting soaked up toward the back of the pad.
    Most of my tire work is on low profile tires with the side walls being around 2-3 inches. And since it is like 5 inches long, it works great on my big tire clients. So I thought of an idea and changed it a little. I could hold it long ways on the tire, but sometimes I have to roll the tires to get the bottom part coated with the gel. So I took one and cut it on an angle, to match the tires. And either way these have been the best tire applicators I have used.
    A few pics of my tire app.

    To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
    While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.
