Tire dressing
What do you guys do to keep the tire dressing off the rim when applying it? Do you cover the rim then spray? I wash the car along with the rims then dry and apply the tire dressing then go back with some windex or detailer and clean the rims again P.I.T.A.! Anyone got a tip?

I don't spray the dressing on. I use a curved sponge type applicator. You can use any type of dressing and get a uniform coating ...where you want it and not on the rims. You can get them in any auto store or Wally World

me too, I use the Black Magic Matte Finish, doesn't sling, and gives the tire a nice clean look. But if it gets on the rim, get it of quick! It will wreck the clear coat.
