Detailing: tires

Anyway to stop the splashing of those tire dressing after putting them on? I've tried using less and wait for it to dry (so I thought) before driving my X5. But I find trails of it on my truck. Help please..

I use Aerospace 303 - best stuff for tires IMO - doesn't fly off the tires at all if you apply it correctly.

you can just spray armor all onto the tires and wait for it to dry.

the lazy way, but it works...

How long does it last before the next application?

Well it really all depends on the environment. If all is perfect I would say the Adam's last about 2-3 weeks, no rain, no puddles, the application was perfectly applied, the tires were degreased and cleaned up properly.

I've never had "sling" problems with Mequiars tire dressing....

you won't have a problem with most tire dressings as long as you allow proper drying time
