I JUST WANNA SAY I LOVE YOY SO MUCH I’m a 17 year old lad starting my own business called bubble trouble and I litteraly would be no where right now if it wasn’t for you almost everything I learnt was from your videos and the results speak themselevss the cars I’ve been doing recently have been so incredibly perfect! Thank you!!!
I think you're spot on. Dave is one of the good guy's. Very very helpful. A pure gent . I really hope your business goes from strength to strength. Remember, do a good job, take things, and slowly learn as you go. That way, you'll be faster with lots of happy repeat customers
@@patfalvey30 I only do the very best and overshoot the price they are paying purely for customer satisfaction as I’ve started off and want to gain repeat custom
I dress my tyres with a brush, having tried sponges but prefer the ease of use, application and finish I get from bristles. My preferred product is Autoglym Rubber Plus. I use a decorators plastic paint pot with two compartments, one for the product and another in which to stand the brush after use so the brush isn’t standing in product. It also has a brush hole above each compartment so you can seal the pot and prevent / reduce spillage, and there’s a brush groove in the divider so you can wipe off the excess product. Bought from B & Q, this for me was a game changer. I’m no longer in the trade but still use these products and method on my own cars.
After trying all sorts of applicators, for the last 4 years I have been using dollar store green scrub sponges on the soft side to apply dressing. It costs 10 cents per sponge and they last a long time. It:s really fast to apply too, about 20 seconds per tire. I don't use a gel. I use Meguiars All season dressing, a liquid dressing that I spray into the sponge. It uses very little product, about 4 sprays per tire so a liter bottle lasts for months in my detailing business. I always use a microfiber towel to wipe down the excess after I am done with all 4 tires. The last thing I want is for the dressing to sling all over the detailed car!
As a bit of a hack, I currently used an old shoe shine sponge, which comes with the reservoir into which I dip the sponge (it's also the lid, which keeps the sponge damp) for any tyre solution used. I did used to use the brush and dip method during my professional days though. Back then, I put the solution in the equivalent of a tupperware container to keep any leftover solution.
Going back 30 odd years when I started in this trade we used black paint for scabby tires 🤣🤣, moving forward I still use and always have done and that the trusty old paint brush, 1 inch wide does the job for me.👍
I have the carscope version of this, I have had it about 4 years now all the bristles come away around the outside. To be fair it gets used on my 4x4 tyres… not so good with meguires ultimate, but works well with car pro Perl neat, IW candy, and watery ones like M&K tyre go all over your hands like you say 😂
These type of brushes are great for cleaning emblems especially when paired with water spot remover. They are firm enough for scrubbing but delicate enough that they won't scratch...perfect! I use one for dressing leather and I also have one for cleaning around all the buttons and fiddly bits on the dashboard/instrument panel.
I use Tenzi Gum Extra high gloss tyre dressing. 1L trigger spray for 18.99. I use half of a yellow car wash sponge to apply. I flip cars for a side hustle and it’s plenty good enough for that. I also apply the same way on my own car.
One of the best handling cars ever made right there, the chassis on those are something truly special for an everyday car! Incase you didn’t know :)) I love mine, also with regards to getting the gel on the bottom of the tyres I watched a video on a product that’s designed to go under the wheels so you don’t get your knuckles scraped off I’ll see if I can find the link, maybe you could do a review on them! :)
I love mine, I just spray some Turtle Wax Hybrid Tyre Shine on and then wipe it on the tyre. I do load it up for the first tyre but then use less on the rest
I bought three of these from Car Scope at the start of Lock Down and have never looked back even giving one to a car detailer as a wee gift. I have never had an issue with hair loss apart from my own head and unless I am changing product I have never rinsed it out. In my opinion the detailing product of the Century.
Thank you for the video Dave. Looks a handy tool for a couple of quid. I'm a total cheapskate and spray Aldi multi surface polish on the tyres and then lightly go round them using an old kitchen sponge 🤣. Gives them a deep satin finish.
Bought mine of eBay years ago for about £2 use gyeon tyre dressing thing love the stuff can be applied on wet tyres nice Saturn look lasts about 3weeks,.had AF tyre crème was a pain in the backside for me,started to use perl at there recommended dilution and it’s brilliant also for about 1week then dies of
Well.. normally I don't give away my personal secrets.. BUT.. I like your channel and I'll give you guy's a freebe.. what I use may shock a few people but here it is.. stoner care trimshine in the spray can. It sprays very accurately and believe it or not, I have tried NEARLY EVERY TIRE DRESSING ON THE MARKET. And I come back to trimshine every time!!! Just haven't found anything better. It isn't over shinny, it does not fling off, dust does not stick to it and it lasts just as long or longer than any iso2 I have tried and best of all it takes me around 15 seconds a wheel or less. And if there happens to be be an area that I oversprayed a little I take a (another secret) tile sponge that I cut into 3 pieces to remove any extra. Or to apply to any tight places I spray it directly on to the sponge.. DON'T BELIEVE ME? give it a try I promise you.. You will switch and never look back..
i have had the Carscope one for a while (zero bristle loss) -- too small to hold and get hand cramps, I'm too old now for fiddly wee tyre brushes. back to large foam hex puck with IW Tyre Coat.
Ask your wife/ girlfriend/ daughter for any flat top foundation brushes they no longer need and use it for tyre dressing. I would say the shapes are quite similar. (However, Dave's brush has a better handle for tyres)
Nice video Dave. I use a cut up jumbo sponge and apply garage therapy's one tyre serum. Have also used it to do the trims on my sister's car which works pretty well.
Ive bought two, thiught I'd lost one but i had just hidden it to well, and ive used it with the Soft 99 bkack tyre wax and it works really well nbut tends to clog up a wee bit by the time you've got to the 4th tyre
I still to this day prefer to use a 2” cheap paint brush for tyre dressing as the width goes round the tyre pretty much! I also use auto smart high style from time to time but also use on occasion Maguires tyre gel .
Hi Dave, I use a curved sponge with some Perl sprayed on off eBay 10 for £5. I consider these a desposable item as they get gunked up over time so it’s nice to throw them away after every 5-10 cars use a fresh one.
Started with megs gel and always go back to it. If tyres are thoroughly cleaned, still look good after many weeks. Also sponges last ages as only applying gel, not contaminated with cleaning dirt, so I use until worn out.
"Thank you for sharing such valuable insights! Your videos always inspire and educate me. I appreciate your dedication to creating content that makes a difference. Looking forward to your next upload!"❤
I love my Alien Magic (green bristles) version. It says not to use with solvent based, but with GT Tyre Serum ive not experienced any issues. I do squirt a load of Surfex 10% immediately after, so maybe that helps
Hi great video as usual have you tried putting a small amount of the gell in a self seal bag with the brush so it's always charged . As you wear gloves all you do is grab it from the bag and your away.
I have a applicator sponge, with a hard plastic handle, which is ok but I will give this a try. Maybe using a tin foil tray, like a Yorkshire pudding tray will be good to dip the brush in with product 🤙🏻
@@epicautomotivedetailing if you use a small tin foil tray, just a shout out will do 🤙🏻😂 keep up the good work too, as I’ve got a few products after watching your Panda 100hp vid, about the trim resto 👍🏻
For God's sake that is not bird but Pterodactyl drops ! Did you ever go to Jurassik Park Dave 🤣! Seems like british bird have hell of a intestinal transit 😆 Ok, back to the brush itself. I'd like to say it really gives you an even finish on the tires, especially if you've got a lot of lettering, grooves or whatnot. Personnaly, I am more a tire hex grip applicator combined with Gyeon Q2 Tire guy, to be honest. Nevertheless, always nice to have a feedback from professionals and car enthusiasts from all around the planet. Cheers mate 😉 Gregg
Looking forward to a bird poo video. Bird poo is my most hated thing about keeping my black car in good condition. Going off topic there though , back to the tyre applicator , I just use a jumbo cut up sponge with KKD bumper and tyre liquid. I always have to roll the tyres 90 degrees as I always feel the bottom part that is in contact with the ground never gets a proper application.
Not only is that a pain but your hands/gloves= steering wheel/ shift are then covered in dressing! Cheap plastic ramps or proper rim mats are a godsend when dressing tyres.
I have had this little thing of a brush for yeeeaars, it's not that fantastic as it seems. Just use whatever you like to dress your tires. This thing won't do anything what so ever better than even a simple microfiber towel
Great video. I considered getting one of the (rebranded makeup) brushes, but decided to stick with my foam applicator, following up with a brush to fill the crooks and nannies. As to the problem of reaching the bottom of the tyres, get yourself some Rimmats.
Its a great little brush and Temu do some decent stuff especially there wash mitts , tried some trye gel which is ok to be fair but there are better products out there for that .
Have tried shaped sponges without much joy. I use a paint brush for preference - would I consider this dedicated brush? Probably not - I’m old and can’t get on my knees to use something like this.
Shaped sponges go flat under normal pressure anyway. I also find it hard on the knees. Using a low padded seat (modified creeper) helps. Don't kneel or crouch like all these people do.
Not for wheels but don’t bother buying detailing brushes for inside the car, just buy a cheap set of make-up brushes. Super soft and a much cheaper alternative. 👍
Alright, bud. I almost feel off my chair. I had to put on subs. Your testing bird poo 💩. That should be interesting. Does it matter what birds 🐦 have a poo on your car. Like seabirds would have a real salty diet while woodland birds would be more into berries, etc. You know where I'm coming from Dave. I think this bird poo video needs good investigation because just think where the people with a good motors live. Then you'll have the city slickers different birds could be 2 are more videos. Make sure you keep an eye on what products and over the time duration. That poo can do some serious damage to a high value motor. Great video my friend ❤
Sponge is best for applying megs gel. Clean tyres thoroughly and work product in properly, (not over applying) then no sling and looks great for weeks.
Don't like these tiny little brushes, far too small especially on suv/ 4x4 takes ages and so much product. I've tried them all and still go back to the 2/3" paint brush.

Maguiar's Endurance Tire Gel is my favorite tire dressing. Next is Tire Shine from Turtle Wax.
I still use paint brush with wet look gel in a tub which works well for me 👍👍
Been using the CarScope one with their Tyre Ink and never had a bristle fall out.

I use an old detailing brush and have a small pot or dressing. And use a rag to wipe excess off. Way better than a sponge.

Reminds me of the Kiwi shoe polish sponges that were a fad years ago

I've used it a few times since and it's really good now

Great demo but the curbing on those rims 😱. Not a millimetre unscuffed 😂
Lol it's the car throttle ford focus. The videos show it's been a bit battered on many videos lol

i found using soft brittles brush for tire works best and time efficient. it cover more space. love all your videos ! from US
Thanks so much 🙏
i have had the Carscope one for a while (zero bristle loss) -- too small to hold and get hand cramps, I'm too old now for fiddly wee tyre brushes. back to large foam hex puck with IW Tyre Coat.
I've seen people use the soft bristle detailing brushes as a tyre applicator too which may be easier
I've been using the 2 quid Chinese ones, they are holding up very well so far. I find they are better with a gel than a liquid
Interesting feedback 👌
Why dont use a soapbottle that has a pump and fill it up with product. And the nozzle might be easier to jam in to the brush? Just a thought.
Ask your wife/ girlfriend/ daughter for any flat top foundation brushes they no longer need and use it for tyre dressing. I would say the shapes are quite similar.
(However, Dave's brush has a better handle for tyres)
I've got some super soft detailing brushes with same bristles and may try that out
Nice video Dave. I use a cut up jumbo sponge and apply garage therapy's one tyre serum. Have also used it to do the trims on my sister's car which works pretty well.
Haven't tried that yet
They are good and if you are charging the customer for maintenance or full details then the finish on the tyres makes all the difference
Ive bought two, thiught I'd lost one but i had just hidden it to well, and ive used it with the Soft 99 bkack tyre wax and it works really well nbut tends to clog up a wee bit by the time you've got to the 4th tyre
I use a spray tyre and trim dressing if i haven't detailed the wheels I'll just hold it close and spray it on or I'll use a sponge
I still to this day prefer to use a 2” cheap paint brush for tyre dressing as the width goes round the tyre pretty much! I also use auto smart high style from time to time but also use on occasion Maguires tyre gel .
Meguiars hyperdressing on a sponge applicator works a treat

Dab!! Dab 4 spots around the tyre, reapply a small amount to the brush and brush it round. Saves product and applies it with more consistency.
I can recommend using this brush with Carpro DARKSIDE Dave. Not gloopy, nice satin finish and lasts well. Less is more with tyre dressing IMHO
I use a cut in half polishing pad👍

Using those dishwash sponges, the yellow and green ones. A quid for 12. Works brill with Meguiars endurance
For God's sake that is not bird but Pterodactyl drops !
Did you ever go to Jurassik Park Dave 🤣!

Lol it's awful I know. I think we may end up machine polishing this old car before we shift it
Dave hello from USA all you need is aqua gloss from superior products in a cheap harbor freight air paint gun and spray away
Hiya we don't get harbour freight over here but I noticed it's a big thing over there
I like to use an applicator sponge it gives great coverage
Yeah that's what I've used for many years now. They're cheap and do the job well

Still using one after 25 years

Found a cheaper solution, £8.99 pair 0.5mtr plastic ramps cut in half. Raises tyres just enough. 'missed bottom' looks ridiculous!
Its a great little brush and Temu do some decent stuff especially there wash mitts , tried some trye gel which is ok to be fair but there are better products out there for that .

Serious question now would you rather use a hand car wash or drive through automatic car wash?
Can i have a question on politics instead?
Not for wheels but don’t bother buying detailing brushes for inside the car, just buy a cheap set of make-up brushes.

Valet-Pro 1 inch detailing brush. You’ll thank me later! 😉

The gels can be brutal, some gels ate away at the sponges I used to use
Sponge is best for applying megs gel. Clean tyres thoroughly and work product in properly, (not over applying) then no sling and looks great for weeks.
