Tip: Do not spray on "tire foam/tire shine/tire gloss"! If the wind catches it , it will end up on your paint, and cause spots. Get a empty cleaned out coffee can<(plastic) and a soft haired brush. Spray the tire stuff in the plastic can(5 feet away from your car), use the brush to apply to the tires!

Be sure to use 2 separate buckets- one for the wheels&tires, the other for the car body. Don't use the items you clean the wheels&tires with on the car body.
