Re: Review - CarPro Tire Swipe Applicators
They look like the ones the Dollar store used to sell years back. You can cut them in half to fit low profile tires. After a while sitting in my bin the glue failed on them and had to re glue to foam backing on them. It was a pain. Hopefully these are better made
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Look good for smooth tires but will not work on my truck tires. I have to use a brush to get in all the crevices.

That's a logical redesign. I had bought some tire swipes from the dollar store too that had a similar shape. However, the foam was flimsy including the handle part and the glue holding the 2 foam pieces together failed the first time you tried to clean it. What are the Eagle One tire swipes at the stores? Like 2 for $3? So these are priced about the same.

How effective is the curved shape in working with different profile tires? I would be afraid it would only work with a narrow margin of aspect ratios. Bigger truck tires would be too wide and low profile tires too small. As it is now, I rotate my applicator 90 degrees from what they should be when working on performance tires.

I do the same. Sometimes you just have to squeeze and contort the applicator to fit different sidewalls. Lately I've liked applying Perl with a round microfiber applicator that can conform to fit various sidewall sizes and terrain.

I find this type shreeds from the ridges on my tires. Dont last very long. Unfortunately I've yet to find an applicator I like.

I've tried several different tire product applicators and the best luck I have had is using the Eldorado2K method, ie. applying the product with a flagged tip brush.

These have held up well so far. The original I used in this original post shows no sign of shredding.

Those look like the perfect shape for many of us with 35-60 series tires.
