That's the difference between "washing your car" and "detailing."
Detailed wheel wells really make a car and non-detailed wells make an otherwise good looking clean shiny car look like the crap. Same goes for inside the wheels.

no no...Im saying that if you use a spray gun, and have a 35 profile tire, its like shooting an ant with a bazooka. Isnt that stuff gonna go everywhere, or am I smoking crack and talking about something completely different? 
P.S. You guys are crazy if you clean your wheelwells.
thats just hardcore anal.

Its doesn't make a mess at all. I did all the black trim on my Landrover with the gun... didn't have to wipe one body panel off.
Its more accurate than you think it is.

i been using nothing but

-Meguiar's claimed a high gloss finish with just one application. We offer other aerosol tire shine products but they require a second spray to create a uniform gloss.
-A claimed treatment of 50 tires per can! With other aerosol tire shine products, you're lucky to get 12 to 15 tires per can. "

1. Looks Wet no mess Get it here!
2. Eimann Fabrik Black Sapphire Gel -Get it here!
3. 303 as Emergency back up when you are out of the top 2!
I have found that either I am being picky or the ones the auto parts stores sell are just useless!

We have a Bridgestone/Firestone plant in my city, and I know some guys who work there and "really know tires." They warn me against using anything with petroleum distilates as an ingrediant. Makes sense. Petroleum can cause rubber to disintegrate. Beyond that, tire dressing is a matter of personal taste.
I use 303. I don't want a really high gloss. What I want is more like a semi gloss. I spray on the 303 and smooth it with a moist sponge, and just let it soak in and dry. At first there are "white areas", but they are gone in a half hour or so. Then, I wipe down with a cloth. The tires stay black through several washings, though they lose a bit of shine each time. The best thing is that 303 protects the tires from getting those little sidewall cracks. On my 8 year old truck with its OEM tires, I've used his process since I bought it new. Zero sidewall cracks.
Thanks,
Richard
