Not for me, but for my Daughter.
What's a really easy to apply tyre dressing.
I use Anachem ultrasheen, but that requires sticking on a glove, and using some kind of applicator pad.
Plus you've got to move the back or forward to do the last wee bit I find.

Anyone recommend something with a bit less faff

Not get anything easier than that!

Absolutely zero longevity with it though....

Fair enough, what about the instant tyre shine spray thing they have, you ever used it?

I use CarPro PERL mixed at 50:50 with a detail brush. Prime the brush and go round the tyre, all 4 are done in minutes and no need for gloves etc

Great news
I've seen the dish matic technique mentioned a few times on here might have to give it a go.

Apply it with a brush.

I use this. Can either sponge it on with a cheap dish sponge, or brush it.
Leaves a nice deep satin black.

I use the 10 for 20p disposable dish sponges, and megs endurance gel. But that’s the gloves and effort method. If she wants dressed tyres though it’s not gona kill her, 1 minute, I leave the sponges lying in a Chinese plastic tub on a shelf, as they absorb a good bit of gel, get plenty of use before bin. Disposable glove.
Other than that, one the foamy aerosol types probably easiest.

I think that magic idea of the dish brush cleaner is the best sounding option.

I use the Meguiars type applicator; it’s dead handy.

We will have these Gyeon ones in next month all being well. Similar to the Fireball ones we used to stock, cheap and again handy, but you need to use a glove or wash your hands after use if they’re covered in product.

+1 for this, all i use, lasts well and its good on plastics too. As said, just dont use too much, goes gunky.

If your looking dead handy applied, Auto Finesse Dressle does the job for tyres too. Not shiny but makes them black

Also, used to use this Turtle Wax when putting cars through the auction, spray on and thats it lol

Autosmart Highstyle, poured into an aerosol lid, and applied with a 1 inch paintbrush.

Easy peasy.

I been doing exactly the same thing for years, I keep the highstyle in a jam jar and leave the brush in the aerosol lid when not using it

Been using Autoglanz Uber Schwarz for a while and there is no sling, and lasts a couple of weeks.

Put a couple of drops on a washing up sponge and wipe over the wall of the tyre.

The biggest difference will be if the tyres are properly cleaned prior to application. Anachem painted on for me is perfect and lasts provided the tyres are prepped before hand..
