VRP is Water-Based ... it leaves STREAKS especially after it rains. But I do like the Spray Gun technique however, you get Overspray and can make your car wax job spotty and the Wheels need to be wiped.

Meguiar's Endurance tire gel. Is a huge surprise. After many years of using all types of tire shine and cleaning products. Endurance is very affordable and works like no tomorrow. Your tires do not even have to be very clean but not covered with mud. You will have to apply 2 or 3 coats but it goes on so easily. I have used the same all-purpose microfiber terry towel for 2 months. It is saturated with Mequiar's Endurance tire gel. One 16-ounce bottle has enough gel to do 60 tires or more. Again, I have repeatedly used the same 8x8 microfiber towel and have never seen it contaminate or smug a tire I have already applied Endurance on often. It keeps your tires shiny, even after driving in the rain there is no noticeable loss of shine. It has a nice Gloss, not super gloss like having a mirror shine. Touch-up is a breeze if needed. I purchased 4 Mequiar's Endurance tire gel a couple weeks ago from Advanced Auto Parts on sale 2 for $12, 4 for a total of $24 minus $5 Perks Reward was $20 making it $5 per bottle. Wow! For $20 I have enough tire gel to do my 2 cars for a whole year possibly 2 years. I have used a quarter or 1/4 of a bottle applied numerous times and on several of my neighbor's vehicles. This Meguiar's Endurance works like a charm.
Oh! it smells a bit like grapes ... nice odor. I wear a Nitrile Glove as it is a slick gel when wiping it onto the tires. Yes! there are spray tire shines but they cost more and quickly run out of product.

Do not kid yourself guys. Unless you have a shop with multiple detailer doing several at one time this will not save you any time. By the time you factor in set up and tare down of the compressor and hose and then add in cleaning of the gun and nozzles you will not save no time there. Then factor in the time to wipe down each wheel again along with the overspray you get on the paint you will actually be losing time. Let's face it 95% of use will always get overspray on shit.
So just get some wipe-on dressing and be done on the first go around

I just use a spray bottle that sprays a nice fine mist. Good stuff.

[thetacticalape]

I think this method has its place and time. I think you need to be detailing a truck with large tires to make the extra clean up and prep time worth it. I would also use something less diluted so it lasted longer.

[johngreen]

Although it is water soluble, I would highly recommend wearing a particulate mask when spraying. Also, 1:5 ratio is far too diluted. 1:2 would be more durable and a better finish

Great works with spray gun, I just tried it with my battery powered air airbrush and it works great aswell, very good for smaller areas and no cables

[msonufriychuk]

Will take 8 seconds to spray tire.... Not mentioning the 15 to 30 minutes to dilute and prep spray gun air hose air compressor..

#overspray

I have used this spray gun method and the overspray is ridiculous. There is a reason that painters mask off the car.

Unless you do this method first then plan to quick wax the car, then do the windows, the car will be covered with a fine layer of tireshine.

Ultimately IMO it's cool but you loose any "saved" time in the clean up process.

Good old applicator and wipe is still my go to method. Sometimes less is more.

Been using this trick for years, but another thing I have done is made several different rim protectors , from size 14 to 22 Inches, to make them I bought some plexiglass and cut out the diameter I wanted then I took some thin rubber hose çut open to slide around the plexiglass to avoid scratches added a handle and marked the size with a marker, saves me a tone of time

[jackanderson]

Bro caught me so off guard at 0:56 😂 so good

[jsno]

Turn your air down and that spray gun can be dialed in better for less overspray.

[rbljackson]

Doesnt this get the oily material all over the body panels too? I like the concept, but wonder if it creates more clean up. You simply wipe down the rims afterwards, but how much gets on the body panels, windows when doing interior work, etc?

Hey Wilson great video as always. I have used this method before using the same gun. I actually like using harbor freights 120cc HVLP gun for the more tighter spaces as well as their 4oz spray gun. I actually use CG silk shine strait for grills and other areas. I’d dilute the CG VRP with less water, yes use more product but after setting the correct pressure it does lay nice without running. Everyone has there preferences but play with it a bit. Out of all of this, give the smaller HVLP guns a try. Especially Harbor Freight’s 120CC HVLP gun.

[stephenlouden]

amazing thanks.
guess we can use a dedicated mini pump sprayer then with this diluted for tires and trim . ? what dilution do you suggest for tires to stretch the VRP n still have a rich look

[ferminmalayang]

That is really smart. Can you do that on a spray bottle too?

[altillman]

The paint sprayer you want to use for MOST car detailing is a different compact model. We only use this large unit on engine bays & offroad truck tires with thick sidewalls and huge open fender wells. You want HF Part # 46719, Touch Up Air Spray Gun with air regulator included @ $29. It consumes far less air (works excellent with small pancake compressor), is a more compact unit (mobile detailers?), air regulator included so you don't over power it with too much psi and blow seals, and with the plastic cup vs. metal cup of HF other compact unit it's far easier to keep clean as well as to open/close. Dont fiddle with the factory air/product delivery setting for car detailing imo. We've used them all as setup out of the box with no overspray issues.

[Egarcia]

Is there a best way to know the 5:1 10:1 from 1:10 because is it the same or different

[Matt_justlikethat]

What psi out off t😢compressor to sprayer?
Thanks

[AndysAutoCarePlus]

Great outside the box idea. Love it Wilson.

[MrBofficial]

Can you use this spray gun for liquid wax?
