Default What tire foam do you guys use?

I've tried many tire foams out, but they all seem to "sling" all over the side panels and doors after you put it on, even if I let it sit for the whole day. Anyone have any good luck with any tire foam or recommend any?

I don't use a tire foam. I have tried many tire dressings and I always come back to this one. It gives a nice sheen without being too shiny and never slings.

I use Black Magic Tire Wet.

Never had a problem with slinging. I never apply directly to tires. I always apply to a sponge applicator and then wipe it on. This keeps you from applying too much.

My go to is Meguiars Tire Gel:
https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G7516-Endurance-Tire-Gel/dp/B0009IQXJ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494422469&sr=8-1&keywords=meguires+tire+gel https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G7516-Endurance-Tire-Gel/dp/B0009IQXJ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494422469&sr=8-1&keywords=meguires+tire+gel

I don't have any sling issues and goes on pretty easy. I go cheap on tire stuff as it rains quite a bit here so stuff never stays on that long anyways.

I use Meguiar's Endurance (smells like grapes). To minimize sling, I like to apply it with a foam applicator, and then give it a wipe with a microfiber cloth, and let it sit overnight. That should help you. If you have the foam, you can spray it on an applicator and then swipe on to avoid all the dripping mess from getting on your wheels.
