How do you keep tire dressing from slinging all over the paint?

I have tried various products and methods of application but none seem to work.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
 
I've had great luck with Poorboys Bold n Bright, no slinging problems. Since I like as much gloss on the tires as possible I spray it on and never wipe (wiping give a different satin look), just let it dry. I'm not sure of the minimum drying time since I do this when the car will be sitting for a couple of hours, that way I just don't have to think about it.
 
You can buff it wqith a dry towel that keeps it from coming off. Or use BnB or TR from PB both of those work great
 
Yep, I use bold and bright applied (believe it or not) with a CVA applicator. Let it stand for 10-15 minutes and then buff it off. Leave a very even, satin finish.
 
I use natural look then wait about 15 mins. and follow up with bnb another 15 mins. and then buff it off.
 
If you want more of a natural look only blacker, try applying BnB with a moist terry towel.
I run water on the towel and then wring it out as much as possible then psary on some BnB ... wipe it on the tire ... let it dry ... absolutely no sling and a satin-shine black tire.
Works great on white cars that show every little splatter of anything.
 
To properly STOP the slinging of tire dressing first the tire must be CLEAN and free of grease
and I use a GREAT product by turtle wax and apply with dish sponge applicator
 
NEW AGAIN is right. The tire must be VERY clean so that the product is soaking into the rubber and not into dirt, grease, etc.
 
That is another plus for BnB because it is also a cleaner. Not as strong as Bleche White or some others but it does clean which in turn helps it stay on the tire instead of the side of your car.
 
Instead of spraying it on and wiping it around the tire, use one of those throw away, foam paint brushes. Spray it onto the foam brush and proceed to paint the tire. With Bold N Brite, I wait about 10 minutes then go back and buff the tire with a clean, dry terry or old mf towel. Since I've been using this method I've experienced zero slingage. LOL....I coined a new term :) .

Some products are more prone to sling off and it also depends on the tires.

If they have designs or a lot of lettering in the tire, then the dressing can build up in the edges just waiting to fling off.

I don't spray dressings on tires anymore. I always spray them on an applicator pad and wipe them onto the tires. Works great and you don't have to worry about spray getting on the wheel or blowing onto the paint.

If you know the product is prone to fling off, then come back after the product has dried a little and buff it down quickly with a towel.
 
I first clean my tires with Westley's Bleche- White. Next I put Bazooka on with a terrycloth towel and let it dry for hours. I haven't noticed any sling. However I buff it with another terrycloth if I do not have the time to let the car sit.

It's an old, family secret! :D

Alright alright....I have to give credit where credit is due. This method is a Poorboy's "secret" so sssshhhhh, don't tell anybody!:beer
 
I use Meg endurance and find the best way to reduce sling is

1. Make sure the tire is as clean as possible and dry
2. Apply the protectant and let it sit
3. I wipe the tire with an old spunge to remove any excess works great for me.

Stoner MSLT is also good, different type of finish and i havent any problems with sling.
