Gel and tire sponge... but always use a sponge applicator. I don't like tire over sprays on my rims. The slightest amount always attracts dust onto the rims . Also yu never, ever want to accidentally get even the slightest amount of tire spray on to your Brake Rotors!

It truly screws up the pads, rotors by causing glazing. So I stay away from spraying anything directly onto tires, period. It always ends up on the rim and brakes. NG. Always spray onto a tire sponge first.

It's the best way.
