Do you guys use TIRE SHINE?
What kind do you use? I've been using the Extreme Tire Shine (orange bottle) for a while now and I love it, but I hate having to use the foam applicator. It gets tiring AND you have to buy new ones. Do you guys use the spray bottle ones? How do you apply it without getting them on the rims??

I use Meguires Hot tire shine(aerosol)
I have used many kinds over the past 6 years and i always go back to it.
It has an adjustable tip too for a narrower spray pattern

I love the Black Magic stuff. Smells like candy, leaves a nice shine, and lasts long enough. Use longer strokes when you spray, rather than using a full squeeze on one spot of the tire. Or you could spray a lot of it onto a rag, and then spread it onto the tire.
I don't mind getting any on the rims, it wipes right off anyway.

I find that the auto stores sell it for $7.50 - $8.50 per can. BUT I have found several walmarts that sell it for $5.50 per can, check there first.

If you are super worried about getting the shine on the rims just take a big piece of cardboard and cut it in a circle the same diameter as the rim, then cut it in half. Left hand holds the cardboard, right hand sprays as you work the half-circle around the rim. Presto, no over-spray.

but it will also get on your paint even if the wind is only blowing at .5 mph... i use something like the black magic but it's the store brand version it's advanced auto's tire shine iunno works the exact same and cost like 3 bucks for a bigger bottle than black magic... but anyways i put the tire shine on my tires and then i wash my car... that way i dont get any overspray anywhere and the tires are still shiny, the water does not make the shine go away really... i dont like the tires super extra crazy *** shiny i just dont like them dull

Make a wheel guard... 17" or whatever diameter...
Also could wash and dress wheels/tires first to avoid overspray on the paint, which would wash off during the wash... Once you get your grove down you'll save time...

The ONLY tire shine I will ever put on my tires is this-
No greasy residue and not silicone based, ZERO sling too. I've been in detailing a few years now and I've tried a lot of different products and I must say that this is probably your best bet, however if you want that true wet look, I would keep using the Armor All stuff.

Zaino (and Lord knows yall all know how much I love their products!) does not offer very much SHINE. It looks really good and clean but is not a tire SHINE. I use it on my cars I drive, but at shows I use the Meguires NXT Ultimate Tire shine (aerosol.) It is incredible!
