I've just ordered the tyre dressing using the discount code, thanks Rebecca.
I know this is a silly question but...I don't know the viscosity of the dressing, so any tips on how to apply the dressing? What's the best applicator?
Hi Blackmass
The tyre dressing is quite thin in consistency, therefore very easy to apply. I use simple foam applicators, the sort used for applying waxes, like below. You can buy them in multipacks on Amazon too very cheaply, but the cleanyourcar brand or Meguiars ones last a long time.

There is this type of applicator too but I think this is better suited to thicker solutions. I always used this type with Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel, but I think the flat foam pads above are better for the Quarts.
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/meguiars-tyre-dressing-applicator/prod_765.htmlI recommend decanting the tyre dressing into a spray bottle, then spray liberally onto the foam pad and apply all around the sidewall of the tyre. When spraying onto the pad, do it well away from the car otherwise you'll end up with tyre dressing all over your clean paintwork, even if there's no wind. Depending on the finish you like, apply to all the tyres, then if you like a matt or satin finish, go round with a microfibre and gently wipe off any excess. For more gloss finish don't wipe down after. I often apply a second coat in the same manner, but one coat gives a good enough finish, so that's personal preference.
After use give the foam pads a wash with a strong detergent and rinse thoroughly after use. I always have a couple on the go when doing mine otherwise they get too saturated and greasy. Use one to do a couple tyres, then another for the other 2 tyres.
Hope this helps
