Haha, yeah, they were pretty expensive IIRC. But it's more like, WTF am I going to put ANOTHER thing that cleans my car?

Alternate Dressing Applicator?

https://parkscarcare.net/products/pr...cNZ_sF4CmrBFNM

[/QUOTE]

So, looks like these applicators are SOLD OUT at the link above. Does anyone have another source or another product that performs at the same high level? I have several sets of the Michelin PS4S tires on a couple cars and the "soft touch" sidewall really needs something like this applicator to get it right. Thanks in advance.

I bought 2 and have an extra if you're interested. I used it once on my car downstairs, but don't really need 2. It was $23 shipped.

With a workstuff or meguiars brush you get the same result

I usually wash my wheels when they are off the car where it’s easier to be precise and not touch the wheels with the brush.

I haven’t compared to the other products mentioned.

I just used Adam’s Tire and Rubber Cleaner today for the first time and it did a sensational job. I also used their Tire Shine and I think it looks fantastic.

Stoner's Tarminator. Yes, it's bug and tar remover, but whatever is in it sinks into the rubber and actually removes EVERYTHING from the rubber. Including mold release and the lubricant the tire shop uses to mount the tire. This is especially important on Michelin tires as they are hard to get clean enough to accept a tire product, and that's what you want, for a product to actually sink into the rubber rather than float on top. I've used many other "rubber cleaners" and nothing works as good as this.
