New Way To Apply Tire Dressing

With the advent of flat-belt conveyors where the wheel does not roll (stays in park position), there seems to be a new way to apply tire dressing without using am 8-ft. long dressing applicator. Instead, a product is sprayed on the tire... and rinsed off the wheel, providing a uniformly dressed tire after going through an air dryer. Several product manufacturers appear to have developed a dressing that adheres to tires... but can be flushed off of the wheels prior to the air dryer. They call it hydrophobic tire dressing. This would probably work for conventional conveyors, too. That simple spray-on process would ultimately save valuable building floor space for all conveyorized car washes... as well as pads. Unlike conventional tire pads that sometimes miss parts of a tire, developers say it covers all size tires uniformly. And, it's touchless.

Has anyone seen or heard of it?

I just replied on another site. Any more info?

There's nothing really new about it. Tech is published. It's been around for 10+ years I would guess. Probably hard to find since the companies who own the polymers keep changing hands.

It's another way to deliver hydrophobe/silicone to the tire. The micro emulsion is really not all that stable as it splits once it contacts the target. Residual accumulates. Not good for belt conveyors as that residual will stick and make itself known once it comes around again.

Is this what you're looking for?
