VRT Foam Brick

[Lightningsti]

Hello,

 

How do you guys use the foam brick. I have a couple of them and they were just sitting on my cart just collecting dust. Never really used them until yesterday when I got a couple of ideas.

 

So this is what I did, went out to the car and measured a couple of the rubber hoses in the engine bay. Grab a knife and started cutting. I cut the brick into a couple of smaller squares and on one side cut differnt radius into the foam and on the other side with a silver sharpie, wrote down the radius. Now when it is time to detail the engine, little spray with vrt and a quick pass with the correct foam square and my rubber hoses are done.

 

Any one else use the foam brick is different ways?

even with the crazy sidewall? okie dokie, I'll give it a shot when my order comes in..

 

Heck, try them both and tell us which one you like better! I am pretty sure you got both items coming, right?

It was cheaper for me to buy the 20s..

not a crazy difference from my 19s, if that **** pothole wasnt there, I'd still be using them..

 

Ouch... 20" low profile+ Midwest roads= bad wheels... lol

 

I put mine back on yesterday and WOW what a difference over the 50 series 225 Blizzaks... lol

I've got 35 series on mine..

 

Yep... Probably the same height as mine. Yours are wider right? 35% of width.

Just don't use the applicator on anything else after using it on the tires unless you clean them well.

 

Tires always turn my applicators black.

 

Hence why I use the blocks. Plus my 40 series tires on my car need a thinner applicator.

 

My truck and the Enclave get a block cut in half.

 

I use the applicator inside the car.

[MAYBEN]

yes I do.. I still have the older blue premium tire sponge

I use the blocks... Cheap, and I toss them when they get bad.

I would not use these on tires. I would use the Pro Tire Sponge. Not only do you get a comfy handgrip, but the PST has definition to the applicator side that makes tires soooooooooooo much easier.

I added a set if blocks to my recent order.. my wife's Edge will definitely need those for the tires..

x3 since they're cheap and easy to cut/customize I'm always making custom sizes/shapes to dress areas on my truck.

That's what I do... I cut them to meet my needs. I have a lot of wedges and thin pieces for doing trim.

I use them on my DD which has larger tires than my blue ones. I use one side to apply the SVRT and the other side to buff it down and wipe away the excess. I plan to cut them in half when I use them on my lower profile tires.
