Blue Dream Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Like the title says what's the best way to clean a foam applicator after using it to apply Opti-Bond Tire Gel? I have used Dawn dish soap recently as I know it will remove wax from a vehicle but not too impressed with the results. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 No need to clean it, simply store it where it will not collect dust, and it will be ready to use. Even in a wipe on application, be sure to follow the instructions and dilute the Opti-Bond Tire Gel 1/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dream Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thanks Yvan, apparently I've been using the gel wrong. I apply it full strength. Any drawbacks other than using too much with it full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspam1 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The only two products I've found that will clean a foam applicator or brush that are used to scrub tires or apply dressing are Optimum Power Clean or Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I use Opti-Bond at full strength and a dedicated sponge - that way it's always available for touch ups. Not sure there's a good way to clean something used on tires sufficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dream Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 So what you're saying is we CAN have a detailing tool that is a no maintenance, re-use at will type. Score!! Might be a first in the detailing world......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score!! Might be a first in the detailing world......... I buy the 12 pack of yellow foam applicators on eBay for a couple of bucks and use them a few times before throwing them out and going to a new one. Not great for the environment I know, but they are so cheap it's just so much easier. No matter how much I clean the tyres on my car my foam applicators still get gross in no time.
