0 Ricky Bobby Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I hate overspray so I would probably put the regular cap (for liquids) on it and squeeze it onto the block sponge. Apply 2 coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 On my lower profile tires I use a pour top and apply the TS directly to the foam block so I don't get any on my rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Spraying doesn't work well on low profile tires. It's much easier to spray it onto a sponge or put a pour top on to pour it onto a sponge and apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PT3 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 So then we'll never be able to get the real glossy look as Adam demonstrates in the video... Correct me if I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scootertrash19 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So then we'll never be able to get the real glossy look as Adam demonstrates in the video... Correct me if I'm missing something. I have the same issue, I am going to try a different spray trigger to see if it works, the current sprayer blasts tire shine everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 What if you try it in a 4 oz bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SYMAWD Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Perhaps use a scrap piece of cardboard to shield your wheels as you spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Perhaps use a scrap piece of cardboard to shield your wheels as you spray. That's a good idea too. Cut out a round piece the size of the wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SYMAWD Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 That's a good idea too. Cut out a round piece the size of the wheel I was thinking even simpler. Just a straight piece and move that around the wheel with the spray bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adam Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Friends, I agree, the nozzle for the Tire Shine is tough to use on low profile tires. The sprayer is getting upgraded to one that sprays more easily. Seems we are too 'truck' here in Colorado at Adam's, and I didn't even think to try to spray on to a low profile tire during testing. The 4oz size is perfect for them, as are other spray nozzles. This one works well, as well, if you have one from one of our other products: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Zach5.9CTD Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 not sure if i can post this here or not, if not just delete, however you were asking about a "guard" for your wheels as you apply dressings....i did a quick google search and came up with this. doesnt seem like a bad price minus their fancy covers that lock, maybe adams can figure out a similar product to make and sell? http://streetshields.com/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 crowvet Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Adam... I'm not sure I understand. How would the 4oz bottle be any better??? Think he meant the four ounce sprayer has a more controllable spray... also if you have older Adams products, the old sprayers work way better.....Swap a old sprayer on the tire shine and put the new sprayer on your detail spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Soccerluvr4 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I haven't tried the Adams tire shine yet, out of all the ones i have tried i will say i've always been more a fan of applying the dressing onto an applicator and then wiping it on. I'll probably end up doing that with the Adams tire shine i just got from my recent order. My car has somewhat lowprofile tires (285/35-18s) so i've never really had much luck spraying it directly on the tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 landshark Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah, I have the same problem with low profile tires. I talked to myself Adam's probably didn't have those low profile tires sport cars in mind when he was developing. LOL. I get used to it and just wipe off the overspray with a towel.

Question
PT3
The spray doesn't come out in a mist as Adam shows in his how to video.
So If I want the high gloss shine how do I make that happen?
Right now, I'm spraying the product onto the sponge and then applying to the tire.
My tires sidewalks are small as I have the following tire sizes: 265/35/20 and 295/30/20.
So needles to say, it's hard to spray onto the tire without spraying the wheel itself.
