    The most excruciating part of doing this vehicle was feeling how inefficiently I was working. I feel when I have my own pad replacement/cleaning system down that will really speed things up.

    The tire dressing I used was one I get from a local supplier. I don’t think it’s a brand name item. Admittedly, I took the picture moments after wiping it on. Pretty cheap, I have problems with sling-off if I misapply it. Thanks for the suggestion on a better product!

    Yes, these types of products that are not water based do not dry out, and because of it, they tend to sling off the tire at high speed. If you knock it down with a microfiber towel it should help.

    Beautiful job and I agree with the others on that 50/50 shot...looks fantastic!

    The few times I have to use a tire dressing I don't like (customer requested and provided), I work it into the sidewalls with foam apps and then wipe off the excess to hopefully prevent any "sling". I talk the customer into the non greasy look and no sling while using their product.

    Nice work! Take some of that revenue and invest in about 10 correcting and polishing pads. You'll be able to get better results faster.
