I wanted to make a wheel shield to help keep the Tire Shine over-spray off my wheels seeing as I have low-profile tires. I got inspiration from Dan (TheWolf), but I wanted to make something hands-free so it would be easier to apply Tire Shine.
I bought a thin sheet of rubber, measured and cut out the size of my wheel:
I got a rubber seal strip with a lip so it could wedge between the wheel and the tire:
I cut out some triangle pieces so the rubber would bend and adhere easier around the edge of the circle:
I cut another piece of rubber to go under the tire and prevent any over-spray on the floor:
I'm very happy with the result, but even happier that I don't have to clean up the mess on the wheels left by over-spray!
