Self-Serve Tire Shiner Systems By Simoniz
Clean, shiny tires have always been important to car owners who love to keep their cars in nice condition. Tire dressing in spray bottles has always been a messy process when applying dressing to tires, both for the parking lot and also the car owner; missed spots with splotchy results spray marks all over the parking lot. Now one of the hottest new add-ons for self-serve car washes is the tire applicator systems that dispenses and applies tire dressing with a brush that is specially designed for even tire dressing coverage. This system applies the perfect amount of tire dressing by atomizing the product at the right mixture; the uniquely designed 45-degree applicator spreads the chemical evenly producing a maximum shined tire.
