Default Aerosol Tire Dressing

For those of you who use aerosol-based tire dressing, any recommendations on the following?

· Stoner More Shine Less Time for Tires

· Meguiar's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray

Default I've used the Stoner's MSLT...

...and I have to say, I'm not a fan for the following reason...

With the aerosol delivery method, inevitably some overspray gets onto the paint surrounding the wheel-wells and the wheels themselves. To help minimize this, I stopped spraying it directly onto the tires, and started spraying it onto a tire-dressing swipe sponge. This helped, but didn't eliminate the issue.

Default I love MSLT

Yes there are possible overspray issues depending on whether it's windy or not. If it is, or if I trying to put it on the ribbons of rubber that pass for tires on my wife's GTI, I use one of those curvy foam sponges from the Boys of Pep.

Default If you're anywhere near me in Philly suburbs, you're welcome to have the rest ...

...of my MSLT cans, I think I have three of four unused cans that I doubt I'll ever use.
