Chemical Guys Durafoam Contoured Large Tire Dressing Applicator with Wonder Wave, 2 Pack

This is one of the only tire applicators I’ve used that actually respects the boundary between rubber and rim. The curve fits perfectly across the sidewall and makes even, controlled contact without overspray or splash.Paired with a proper pre-scrub and CG tire gel, this thing lays down a deep black shine that actually sticks — no sling, no greasy mess after you drive.The foam rebounds like a pro after pressure, rinses clean with just water, and hasn’t torn or peeled after repeated use. I keep one in my detailing bag and the other as backup in my Jeep (2015 GC w/ 175k miles), along with the rest of my CG setup (see pics).If you’re tired of shredded applicators and inconsistent shine, this is the one that sticks — literally and visually.— Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign

This is Absolutely the BEST APPLICATOR TO APPLY A TIRE SHINE,PERIOD

Over the years I've used different types of applicators for tire dressing and never been truly satisfied. I'd have to say this product is the best I've used so far. I'm one of those meticulous guys when it comes to by vehicles and recently took the plunge into serious detailing (new 2016 Tundra). Chemical Guys via reviews seem to have outstanding products so I thought I'd give them a try. So far I'm very impressed... but I digress. Specific to this applicator I like the size for larger area of coverage and the overall construction is sturdy enough to be able to hold and apply your dressing without getting it on your hand(s). My only negative comment is that after doing one application of 4 tires, the application (black) side has begun to to degrade... but I have to clarify that I was using the applicator on large A/T tires with fairly aggressive side tread and it is 'foam' - I can't expect too much for what it is. I figure that I'll probably only get a couple uses out of each applicator under the conditions that I use it. If it were just a clean side wall (i.e., all season/passenger tire) I bet it would last for quite some time. Overall - due to the comfort and effectiveness of the application using this product, I'm sticking with it and will just order more as needed (not excessively expensive). I'd recommend giving it a try and for a small cost you can make your own determination without being out much $.

The Durafoam pad is a game-changer for applying wax, dressings, and conditioners. It’s firm enough to give you control, yet soft enough to apply product evenly without scratching. The dual-sided design is super handy. One side for product, the other for light buffing. It holds up great after multiple uses and doesn’t break down like cheaper applicators. Whether you’re detailing tires, trim, or interior surfaces, this pad delivers pro-level results every time. 100% recommend for anyone serious about car care!

Works on tires, great

I like the grooves in these applicators because it makes it easier to keep the tire shine product where you want it so you don't get it on your rims.

Excellent product, goes on nice and smooth, gives a CB nice shine!

Works fine but falls apart after just a couple uses. I also don’t know how this is any different than any other sponge
