A small paintbrush (half inch wide or so) is great for applying tyre gel.


took the words right out my mouth :grin: ive used a paint brush for years now as its more economical than spraying it on or applying with a cloth.

megs tyre gel is very good and smells awesome

I use espuma RD50 or Autosmart Highstyle, both liguid and apply with a small kitchen sponge. Economical and both dry to a nice matt/brand new tyres look.

I got some tyre paint. Tested it on one of my tyres. It said apply with a brush, so I used an old handbrush.  :grin:

Looks quite good actaully. I'm tempted to mask up the wheels on the other Golf and give it ago. It's anceint stuff,  found it in the garage.

I use AG instant tyre dressing.

Just spray it on and leave it. Give the wheels a quick wipe after with some detail spray and that'll clean the overspray off.
