I used Meguiar's Endurance Gel...the stuff is great, and lasts for weeks, without spraying onto the body panels. Problem is, it wants to stay on my wash mitt for weeks too! I tried a citrus based cleaner, laundry detergent, and car wash soap (which obviously did nothing). I'm going to try some straight up Simple Green next. What are you guys doing? If I can't find a better way to deal with this stuff, I may just swear off tire dressing products.

try something like an eagle 1 tire wipe instead of a mitt ?

Plus you'll get a better application with a sponge (using less gel) and if you want them to look ricey gloss, just go over them when you done with damp sponge and gently wipe.

I have a curved applicator that I used to apply, and I just reuse it. That's fine...it's when I wash the wheels, the stuff gets all over the place, and won't come off my cleaning supplies! Yuk!

I'm see what you saying now, but i don't no what besides blech that would disolve it. I hope you have a mitt you just use on the wheels.

I use a special old beater sponge for tires only.

Buy a new mitt for washing your car. I seriously doubt you'll get that junk out of your mitt. I'd safely say that wash mitt is contaminated. Go to Griotsgarage and order item 11838 - finger detail mitts for $6.95 (you get 2). Just slip this finger mitt on, place a little gel on the mitt and wipe away. These things last and last. Simple and effective ...

Agreed........I have a "special" sponge that only touches my wheels/tires.

Why not just use the ArmourAll product? Spray it on, no wipe necessary. Dries in about 5-10 minutes. Seems like a good product to me, unless someone can advise me a reason to use something else?

generally most "detail fanatics" stay away from Armour All. I have included a link that gives many specifics regarding the benefits of water-based vs. liquid silicone dressings.

Two good choices are Vinylex or 303 Aerospace Protectant.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ulwheelcargu.html">http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ulwheelcargu.html</a</li></ul>
