Hahahaha it sounds dumb, but ok, if you have chrome and spray you shine on, it gets on the chrome and collects dirt and your rims look like Sh!t after. If you use a cloth you get a funky streaky look! What do you guys think?

I spray my tires with Meguires Hot spray (or something along those lines) first and then use chrome cleaner on the wheels. Not too tough.

I use the Eagle One Tire Swipe things that are made of foam to apply that stuff to my tires. I spray it on the wipe and then wipe the tires, and it works great. It helps if you cut down the wipe thing too. smile.gif

Ok seriously now.. I found a big box and I made a round cut with the size of the wheel, in my case 19's, I place it on top of the rim and then spray. Since I am covering the wheel, it never gets dirty wink.gif

So do you have to hold up the box to the rims when you're spraying the tires?

I placed a handle at the center of the board and hold it covering the rims. after Im done there is no over spraying.
