Dressing tyres without sling

Sling is the greasy spatter of tyre shine flung onto paint as you drive off. It comes from too much product on rubber that is still wet or dirty. Clean rubber, thin coats, and a few minutes to dry fix it every time.

1. 1

   Clean the rubber properly

   Spray Wheel Rescue on the tyre wall and scrub with a stiff brush until the foam goes from brown to white. Old dressing and brown “blooming” must come off.

2. 2

   Dry the tyre

   Dressing on a wet tyre runs. Towel it or let it air-dry fully.

3. 3

   Apply to the pad, not the tyre

   A few drops onto the applicator, then work into the sidewall. Thin and even. Avoid the tread.

   Bay tip · Want more shine? A second thin coat after ten minutes beats one thick coat.

4. 4

   Wipe excess and wait

   Wipe the sidewall with a dry towel and give it ten minutes before you drive.
