Still trying to determine the applicator pad. The curved ones seem nice but from what I have been reading its better to find one that holds up.

Nicee glad to hear others having positive experiences! I got yhe app pad they had on adams it was a block of foam but seems to work well for my low profile tires, th curves ones seem to go too much into my rim.

Just a tip, something I've been doing for about 25 years: Don't rub a rag on the tires and then on a painted wheel.

Grab some dedicated tire brushes and some dedicated wheel brushes and or wheel woolies.

I use a cheap, stiff brush for the tires, like this: http://a.co/9Ar6A1X

I use various boars hair brushes for the wheels:

http://a.co/5uErX2F
http://a.co/j7ox79w
http://a.co/0Kayg37

Also, another thing I've been doing since 1988: Dry your wheels and car with a high speed electric leaf blower. I use a 250+ MPH Toro and a metrovac sidekick. If your car is waxed/sealed or has ceramic coating the water flys right off.

Lastly, if you do ceramic coating, remember you can do your wheels and calipers too. I've done my last 2 C7's and 2 other cars and the wheel barrels and brembo calipers are very simple to clean (most of the time they get 95% clean just with the pressure washer) and reduces the brushing effort.

The easiest way I found to protect my wheels is in my signature. See the link. As for the tires, every tire dressing I've ever used lasts a month. VRT Is good, but conventional. I don't want to do it every month.The new product below Si02 coats the tire. Now I get 3 to 4 months.
