Default Best/ easiest to apply tire gloss

Hey everyone. So I have 37 inch trail grapplers and I have a hell of a time attempting to gloss them I can't get it in all the grooves without over spraying the shit out of them and it just looks like crap at all times, anyone have any tricks? Do any companies make a more aerosol type spray rather than a windex type of spray? Thanks in advance

I don't put any on the jeep, but for my wife's Highlander I bought a sponge-like applicator. Perhaps that could get in the groves uniformly without making it splotchy?

Thanks pat man I'll give that a try, and there ain't nothing wrong with me wanting to keep my jeep looking nice, not really concerned with flamers, they are called such for a reason in my opinion

What about the foam style? They usually get into the cracks and you just have to wipe the wheel off when done.

I don't have problems with it on jeeps, I just know that any vehicle I've had, the tire shine ends up on the side of the car/truck/jeep and the spots annoy me and are hard to clean off!
