dc52nv Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Can someone recommend a great applicator for applying opti-bond tire gel? I don't dilute it so I apply it as a gel. Mine came with a blue foam applicator but it's not working out for me. What are you fellow members using to apply it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have the round hex applicators from Garry Dean and ADS. I thought my first ones of this type came from the OPT store but I no longer see them on the site.http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-41771694353694_2255_176746529 . They make a all black one for tires and a two-tone one that I use for sealants ect that is a little softer on the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen it on AG or ACC. I'm going to give this a try. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunky Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I have the applicator like Optimum sells and it works great. The foam is not as fragile as one I had previously used (softer foam) that would tear if it snags something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfections Detail Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Get the waffle one from the forum store, it last forever and works great even on knobby tires!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer2112 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 You can't beat these for the price. I have lower profile tires so I cut them in half and they're perfect. https://smile.amazon.com/Amrka-Professional-Automotive-Dressing-Applicator/dp/B06ZZQTK77/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1499170868&sr=8-5&keywords=tire+dressing+applicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
